Excel-based application of data visualization techniques for process monitoring in the forest products industry
2004
Overview
Techniques for data visualization can often provide important information and insight to forest products manufacturing process managers and operators as these techniques can be used to identify important relationships between various process parameters or significant properties of monitored characteristics. Many of the currently available visualization tools, however, tend to be fairly expensive and require significant programming expertise and are thus not easily accessible to some individuals or organizations. This paper describes data visualization and the potential for development of data visualization techniques that address the accessibility issue by using Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic for Applications to generate plots for monitoring or analyzing a data set or stream. Example data from a particleboard manufacturing process are used to illustrate the use of such an Excel-based visualization tool for process monitoring and analysis, and to discuss its impact on the decision-making process. The visualization tool is also applied to data from a study of the mechanical and physical properties of oriented strandboard panels, in order to illustrate its functionality for the quick display and initial analysis of experiment results.
