BlazeStatisticalControl

BlazeStatisticalControl is a module within the BlazeLIMS platform designed to help laboratories and production environments maintain precise control over critical variables in the presence of random variability and process noise. It can be applied to any situation where a product or process property, or a laboratory standard, needs to be kept on aim — making it a versatile solution for quality-focused life sciences and industrial laboratories.

By delivering rapid feedback on true deviations from aim, BlazeStatisticalControl enables faster and more effective corrective action, resulting in reduced waste, higher product quality, and less rework. The module is designed to put the laboratory "on-line" and directly contribute to broader enterprise performance improvement.

Core Capabilities

• Automatic unattended control charting — control charts are generated and maintained without requiring manual intervention.
• Multiple rule sets supported — users can select from Shewhart, Westgard, Western Electric, or CUSUM rules to match their specific quality control methodology.
• Automatic detection and notification — the system automatically identifies warnings or errors and notifies relevant personnel in a timely manner.
• Corrective action advisories — actionable guidance is provided when deviations are detected, supporting prompt and informed responses.
• Flexible chart display options — control charts can be visualised through Microsoft Excel or Northwest Quality Analyst, accommodating existing laboratory workflows.

Data Management and Configuration

• Complete historical log — a full record of values and events is maintained for audit and review purposes.
• Corrective action record — all corrective actions taken are documented within the system for traceability.
• Flexible configuration — a rich set of algorithms and rules can be selected and configured to suit specific laboratory or process requirements.
• Complex hierarchy support — the module is configurable to handle complex hierarchies of measurement and process dependencies, accommodating sophisticated laboratory environments.

BlazeLIMS, including the BlazeStatisticalControl module, is offered with no up-front cost, lowering the barrier to adoption for laboratories seeking to implement robust statistical process control within their quality management workflows.
