Portland, Ore. — Northwest Analytical Inc. (NWA) announces that The Dow Chemical Co. (Dow) has entered into a global licensing agreement with NWA for NWA Quality Analyst, its award-winning SPC charting and analysis solution.
Dow Chemical has initially purchased Quality Analyst licenses to accommodate more than 5,000 users worldwide, including chemists, lab analysts, technicians and engineers who will be able to access Quality Analyst for process analysis.

It will also support the company's Six Sigma initiative — a measure of quality used within an organization to strive for near perfect processes and products — and sustain gains in product quality after the completion of Six Sigma analysis.
NWA Quality Analyst is the award-winning SPC charting and analysis software used by world-class manufacturers to improve their processes and meet vendor certification and regulatory compliance requirements.
