Reaction Plan Manager from Prolink

The Reaction Plan Manager (RPM) provides productivity tools to reduce complex measurement information into step-by-step machine adjustments. Deciding how to react to a broken or shifted process is critical. Part size and statistical reports may indicate the process has drifted but knowing what adjustments are required is difficult. By using RPM, you combine measurement data with engineering knowledge to analyze the process in real-time and provide specific instructions to fix the process.

The software is made up of two applications to build (Editor) and view (Viewer) Reaction Plans. A Reaction Plan is a stored document containing math algorithms to analyze measurement data, program code to manipulate data, pictures, graphs, and operator instructions to clearly explain operator actions. The document could be compared to a finely tuned Excel macro. When combined with live data, the Reaction Plan contains the specific instructions needed to fix the process.
