Case Study: Teradyne achieves faster global engineering change management with Capgemini and Siemens Teamcenter

Teradyne - Customer Case Study

Teradyne, a global supplier of automatic test equipment, faced challenges with its slow, error-prone engineering change management and parts release processes. Multiple databases and manual interventions caused delays and compliance issues, particularly regarding environmental regulations (RoHS/WEEE). Teradyne engaged Capgemini to help streamline these processes and support its new "Green" product initiative.

Capgemini implemented a solution using Siemens Teamcenter Enterprise PLM software to unify data and automate workflows. This provided real-time access to engineering data and compliance status, enabling a 50% reduction in change cycle times and significantly improved data accuracy. Capgemini's approach included process re-engineering, system integration with legacy ERP, and global user training, resulting in a more efficient and environmentally compliant manufacturing operation for Teradyne.
