Driving innovation with data with Bosch’s analytics transformation
We’re pleased to share a new customer success story featuring Bosch, and how they applied JMP with Six Sigma methodology to streamline production processes and improve product quality in their wiper systems production site in Belgium.
Video Summary
- Demonstrates use of JMP tools—DOE, control charts, trend analysis—to support Six Sigma projects in chemical processing and product development.
- Highlights JMP’s ability to accelerate data collection and analysis, enabling teams to focus on actionable insights.
- Showcases applications in cross-functionality: process optimization, batch production, and analytics within one "mini-factory" setting.
Key Takeaways
- Hands-on Six Sigma integration: JMP embeds seamlessly in DMAIC phases—helping to identify key variables, optimize processes, and monitor performance.
- Bosch gets value from JMP Marketplace add-in.
- Faster analysis cycles: Data collection and insight generation are significantly accelerated, freeing resources for problem-solving.
Return on Investment
- Time savings: Streamlined data workflows and faster analysis translate to quicker decision cycles and reduced cycle times.
- Quality improvements: Enhanced ability to detect process deviations early, reducing defects and increasing manufacturing yield.
- Cost avoidance: More efficient batch production means lower scrap rates, reduced rework, and optimized resource use.
Customer Quotes
Marjoleine Wevers, Senior Process Development Engineer, Bosch:
- “The nice thing about the Six Sigma methodology is actually that it is a statistical methodology, especially in combination with JMP, it doesn't use the gut feeling. It really looks at the data and how to improve it. Now in the Marketplace, you have the Six Sigma add-in; you don't need to look for it anymore. You just go to one place, and you can click on it. So it makes it very fast.”
- “The project I did as a Black Belt project was another type of Six Sigma project where we defined a new measuring method. And by doing that, we could reduce the lead time for finding a new compound from eight months to one and a half months.”
