Crown Audio Talks About Value of Real-time Data Via Gainseeker
In a recent article in IndustryWeek Magazine, Larry Coburn, a Hertzler customer and the Vice President of Operations for Crown Audio, talked about the value of real-time data for his work force noting, "We're continuing to empower our workers to get real-time data at their fingertips so they're making good decisions without two-week-old data, or without estimating or just evading what they think the problem is."
According to Evan J. Miller, President & CEO of Hertzler Systems, “When your team implements these solutions, real-time data gives you rapid feedback. You know if the changes are working. If the process slips or shifts, real-time data tells you about right away. Once you achieve a new standard of behavior, the data will probably point to another improvement opportunity.”
TJ Smith, Engineering Program Manager for Crown Audio, put it this way: "We've always tried to focus, but we've just never been able to get the resolution of knowing exactly where to focus and what the magnitude of problems were. In the past, you could see that THD failed more last week. If you wanted more information beyond that, it would have taken weeks. Then it would have been 'Oh, this is just from one test station. We didn't pull it from any of the others.' Having real-time data has definitely helped us focus our efforts."
