Portland, OR—Northwest Analytical, Inc. (NWA) announced today that it will release the new French Version of Quality Analyst. The new product will allow companies in regions like French speaking Quebec, to join their English speaking counterparts in using the company’s statistical process control software (SPC), NWA Quality Analyst. Release of the French Version is planned for early January.

The French Version of NWA Quality Analyst has the same strengths as the English version of NWA Quality Analyst which has the best combination of power, flexibility, and ease of use of any SPC/SQC software available. It will provide the user with a multi-functional analytical tool that provides clear and straightforward information. It conforms to the most stringent technical requirements and yet is so easy to use anyone can be involved in SPC charting and analysis immediately. And, it easily integrates with manufacturing systems to provide a seamless analytical and SPC reporting system.

The French Version of NWA Quality Analyst will offer substantial benefits for companies seeking to implement SPC throughout their operations. For global companies with divisions or headquarters in French speaking areas, it will allow standardization of uniform SPC analysis throughout all divisions. Here, companies will benefit from reports and information that can be read and generated by using the same software format. This eliminates the need to decipher inconsistent information coming from various software formats. And, for those companies seeking to expand globally, it provides an opportunity to install a strong and vital SPC program in new divisions.

"The French Version of Quality Analyst will be a tremendous asset to companies, global and non-global alike, as SPC is increasingly integrated throughout companies," says Jeff Cawley, NWA vice president. "With this product, more companies will have access to QA’s powerful decision-making tools, creating localization of SPC/SQC analysis at each site. This ability to expand SPC programs globally provides a clear advantage over competition for many companies in the global market."
