II — Statistical Analysis Engine

180+ statistical analyses spanning hypothesis testing, regression, ANOVA, reliability, survival analysis, time series, machine learning, and Bayesian methods. Every analysis validated against published reference datasets with defined tolerance bands. The Workbench is a stateless calculator: it holds no project state, so an analysis is reproducible from its dataset and its configuration alone.

Capability Specification Status
Hypothesis testing t-tests (1-sample, 2-sample, paired), z-tests, chi-square, Fisher exact, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, McNemar, Mood's median
ANOVA One-way, two-way, general linear model, Welch ANOVA, repeated measures, nested, Tukey/Bonferroni/Dunnett post-hoc comparisons
Regression Simple linear, multiple linear, polynomial, logistic, Poisson, stepwise, ridge, LASSO, partial least squares, residual diagnostics
Reliability & survival Weibull, lognormal, exponential fitting, Kaplan-Meier, Cox proportional hazards, accelerated life testing, MTBF/MTTF, B-life estimates
Time series Autocorrelation, partial autocorrelation, decomposition, trend analysis, changepoint detection (BOCPD), exponential smoothing
Bayesian methods Bayesian estimation, credible intervals, prior specification, posterior predictive checks, Bayesian ANOVA, Bayesian regression, model comparison (BIC, WAIC)
Distribution analysis Normality tests (Anderson-Darling, Shapiro-Wilk, D'Agostino), distribution fitting, probability plots, goodness-of-fit, Box-Cox transformation
Correlation Pearson, Spearman, Kendall, partial correlation, correlation matrix, multicollinearity diagnostics (VIF)
Sample size & power Power analysis for means, proportions, ANOVA, regression, equivalence/non-inferiority, acceptance sampling (AQL/LTPD)

Tolerance bands: p-values ±0.005, correlation coefficients ±0.02, test statistics ±0.01. Validated daily.

III — Statistical Process Control

Classical and Bayesian control charts with automatic rule-based detection. Process capability indices with frequentist and Bayesian estimation. Measurement system analysis for validation before capability studies.

Capability Specification Status
Variables control charts I-MR (individuals & moving range), X-bar/R, X-bar/S, zone charts, with automatic subgroup sizing
Attributes control charts p (proportion defective), np (count defective), c (defects per unit), u (defects per unit variable size)
Advanced control charts CUSUM (cumulative sum), EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average), Bayesian control charts with posterior probability of shift
Nelson rules All 8 Nelson rules with automatic detection, configurable rule selection, out-of-control point annotation
Process capability (frequentist) Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk, Cpm, sigma level, DPMO, yield (FPY, RTY), confidence intervals
Process capability (Bayesian) Bayesian Cpk with posterior distribution, P(Cpk > 1.33), credible intervals, prior specification, small-sample robust
Gage R&R Crossed design, nested design, ANOVA method, %GRR, %Contribution, ndc (number of distinct categories), linearity & bias
Changepoint detection Bayesian online changepoint detection (BOCPD), evidence accumulation, shift probability estimation

Capability indices validated within ±0.05 of reference values. Ref: AIAG SPC Manual, 2nd Ed.

IV — Design of Experiments

Two halves, and they ship at different times. Analysing an experiment you have already run works today, through the same engine as everything else in section II. Generating the design — declaring factors and responses and getting a randomised run sheet back — is in build for August 2026.

Capability Specification Status
Factorial analysis Main effects and interactions via ANOVA and general linear model, two-way and nested designs, post-hoc comparison, residual diagnostics
Response surface fitting Polynomial regression, curvature and lack-of-fit testing, multiple regression with interaction terms, model comparison
Power & sample size Power analysis for factorial designs, runs required per group at a target effect size, computed power curve across sample sizes
Design generation Full factorial, fractional factorial, Plackett-Burman, central composite, Box-Behnken, mixture and split-plot designs, coded matrix and randomised run sheet. In build for August 2026 — not yet available

Available from Pro. Ref: Montgomery, Design and Analysis of Experiments, 8th Ed.

V — Lean Operations

Value stream mapping, line balancing, OEE, takt time, kanban sizing, and a set of free operations calculators. Map current state, identify waste (DOWNTIME), simulate the line as a discrete-event model, and carry kaizen bursts forward into strategy.

Capability Specification Status
Value stream mapping Current state / future state pairing, process box editor, inventory triangles, two-level lead time ladder, discrete-event simulation of the mapped line, overhead floor layout
Line balance & simulation Cycle time analysis, operator balance charts, line efficiency, bottleneck identification, what-if simulation
OEE Availability, performance, quality breakdown, six big losses classification, OEE trending, world-class benchmarking
Takt time Available time, customer demand, takt calculation, pitch, planned cycle time, efficiency ratio
Kanban sizing Kanban quantity calculation, safety factor, replenishment lead time, container sizing, signal kanban
Free calculators 14 calculators, no account required: Cpk, Bayesian Cpk, control chart, Gage R&R, sigma level, FPY/RTY, sample size, OEE, takt time, Pareto, kanban cards, FMEA RPN, ISO 9001 audit checklist, ISO document creator
Kaizen bursts Bursts placed on the map, waste classification, lot sizing and SMED analysis per step, savings estimated from the step's own data
Kaizen charters into hoshin Burst promoted to a chartered improvement project, carried into the hoshin X-matrix with before/after tracking. In build for August 2026 — not yet available

Free tools available at svend.ai/tools — no account required.

VI — Strategy Deployment

Hoshin kanri policy deployment with a live X-matrix, breakthrough objectives, and savings rollup. Connect strategic intent to shop-floor improvement work in measurable dollars. Hoshin is an output of value stream mapping, not a peer to it: current state, future state, opportunity table, then objectives.

Capability Specification Status
X-matrix Live 4-quadrant correlation grid: strategic objectives, annual tactics, improvement projects, measurable targets. Auto-updating from connected work
Breakthrough objectives 3–5 year breakthrough targets, annual target decomposition, monthly tracking, gap analysis
Monthly savings tracking Dollar rollup from project-level savings, cumulative tracking, forecast vs actual, category breakdown (labor, material, quality, throughput)
Sites & people Multi-site organisation model, per-site access control, employee assignment to objectives and projects

Available from Pro.

VII — Platform

Multi-tenant architecture with tenant isolation enforced at the database level by Postgres row-level security, daily calibration of every analysis engine, and a public record of the result.

Capability Specification Status
Managed datasets Upload once into a managed library, clean and transform on a dedicated screen, then pull the finished dataset into any analysis. In build for August 2026 — not yet available
Team collaboration Shared team workspace over analysis sessions and improvement work. In build for August 2026 — not yet available
Audit trail Tamper-evident hash-chained record of analytical entries. In build for August 2026 — not yet available

Multi-tenant Multi-plant / multi-site model, per-site access control, tenant isolation enforced by Postgres row-level security rather than by application code
Calibration system Golden-file test cases, defined tolerance bands, daily calibration runs, drift alerts, public compliance dashboard

Team collaboration is the Team tier. Everything else on this page is Free or Pro. Deep customisation — your own domain namespace, your own branding, a bespoke deployment — is a conversation, not a tier: see pricing.
