| CHARTrunner software suite |
CHARTrunner Lean and CHARTrunner generate statistical process control (SPC) charts to help you optimize your processes. They simplify charting so that you can focus on quality improvement—not data management. They eliminate the need for tedious data entry and importing by accessing data from existing data sources you already have in place, saving you hours each week. After a simple setup, you can generate up-to-the-minute process performance charts whenever you want with just one click.
Both solutions within the CHARTrunner software suite help reveal the meaning behind your data. Each creates statistical process control charts that help you make data-driven business decisions. The comparison chart below can help you select the right solution to best fit your needs.

CHARTrunner-m is a process monitoring solution that alerts you when a process is statistically out of control or outside a specified range. Think of it as your SPC watchdog that is available as an add-on module to either CHARTrunner Lean or CHARTrunner.
CHARTrunner-m allows you to focus your attention only when and where it is needed. This preserves your most valuable resource, your employees, for value-added tasks, and promotes a prevention, rather than detection, approach to quality.
If you are currently monitoring tens or even hundreds of SPC metrics—or you could be but don’t have the resources—then CHARTrunner-m is for you.
