SAS The Power to Know

SAS/QC ® 9.4M8

Accessibility Conformance Report

SAS/QC® (hereafter 'the software'), a component of the SAS System, provides a comprehensive set of tools for statistical quality improvement. These tools can be used to organize quality improvement efforts, design industrial experiments for product and process improvement and maintain statistical control and reduce variation.

This document reflects the output of SAS/QC only. The user interface used in creating the output is covered in other VPATs, including BASE SAS and SAS Studio. The document references PROCs that are unique to SAS/QC, including PROC ISHIKAWA, PROC PARETO, and PROC FACTEX. It also assumes that the user is using the HTML5 ODS destination and they are using accessibility best practices when creating that output.

NOTICE: SAS' only warranty or other obligations to Customer with respect to the SAS software shall be as set forth in a signed licensing agreement between SAS and the Customer. This information does not constitute user documentation as referenced in SAS' standard license agreement.
