In the quest for quality, selecting the right Statistical Process Control (SPC) Software system doesn't boil down to a simple functional "fit-to-requirements" anymore. Once the expert domain of highly focused, independent software developers, the competitive landscape has changed dramatically with the influx of big-name ERP software providers who are aggressively promoting integrated quality modules within an all-encompassing business application framework.

As six sigma (6) and better processes are demanded for higher yields and as organizations move from measuring defects in terms of parts-per-million (ppm) towards parts-per-billion (ppb), the resolution of extant control charts is becoming insufficient to monitor process quality. This work describes the development of a new statistical process control (SPC) chart that is used to monitor processes in terms of defects-per-billion-opportunities (dpbo). A logical extension of the defects-per-million-opportunities (dpmo) control chart, calculations used to derive the dpbo control limits will be presented and examples of in-control and out-of-control processes will be offered.

The convergence of a wide range of global influences is having a profound effect on current-day quality in manufacturing. Today's operational strategies must take into account business cycles, risk-based management, logistics, workflows, outsourcing, regulatory issues, product development, corporate mergers and acquisitions. In this ever-changing economy it is imperative that companies compete more effectively on two fronts: by reducing costs and emphasizing quality.
