Lou Ann Lathrop, chair of ASQ Automotive Division, commented, "The current systems for specific data analysis on warranty problems are slow and laborious. The technology exists today to do powerful data analysis. I'm glad that the American Society for Quality is hosting a conference on April 21 on Lean Quality and look forward to the improvements that could be realized."
Andrew Cummins, executive director of AIAG, also commented "AIAG is working to develop a new approach to Early Warning to benefit the entire automotive industry, particularly in response to the TREAD legislation. We see Lean Quality as helping to provide a more accurate and detailed understanding of problems, which supports our Early Warning initiative."
"In building relationships with our customers, we have found ourselves in a unique position to radically impact quality improvement processes," said Craig Norris, CEO of Attensity. "Text-based information is often understood as containing valuable information but, until now, no one has been able to analyze it in a systematic, aggregated fashion or represent it in a way that becomes actionable. The Lean Quality methodology helps manufacturers begin taking advantage of this data, and to do it much earlier in the decision-making and analysis process than today."
Attensity is committed to helping commercial enterprises, such as automotive companies and durable goods manufacturers, address quality issues. The company's patented software automatically extracts factual data from text-based sources such as warranty claims, customer surveys and service records, and then combines it with other business-critical data to deliver enhanced visibility across the entire quality, reliability and durability (QRD) process.
Attensity Corporation is an emerging leader in advanced business intelligence and data analysis software for commercial enterprises and government agencies. The cornerstone of Attensity's software solution is its ability to extract valuable pieces of data from free-form text - and combine them with structured data - to deliver high-value, actionable information. This information helps speed problem identification and resolution and automates the identification of relationships previously locked in the text, empowering decision makers to effectively address potentially costly - even dangerous - events.
Attensity defines an all new approach to improving quality in automotive manufacturing. Learn more in a brand new whitepaper, "Lean Quality: The Coming Revolution in Automotive Quality."
