# Quality Analysis Provider

**Sepasoft MES Module Suite**
 
## Quality Analysis Provider
 Analysis providers determine which information will be viewed on a graph or pie chart. Based on which Analysis Provider is selected, some filter, compare by, and data point options may or may not be visible. This section covers the Quality Analysis Provider that is available with the SPC module.

The Quality Analysis Provider is used to query SPC information that is beyond what can be shown on control charts. For example, to determine the number of samples taken by user or the number of times a process was out of control over the last month cannot easily be shown in a control chart. This information can be combined with OEE, production, recipe monitoring and other information to create any kind of dashboard required.
