Case Study: SkyWater Technology achieves streamlined quality and clear ROI with ETQ Reliance

SkyWater Technology Uses ETQ Reliance to Streamline Quality, Showcase ROI

SkyWater Technology, a U.S.-owned, DMEA-accredited semiconductor foundry, needed to modernize its quality systems. The company had been managing quality with an antiquated document system, spreadsheets, emails and multiple siloed tools for training and EHS, which made systematic improvement difficult and kept teams in a reactive state.

SkyWater implemented ETQ Reliance—starting with CAPA, audit management, risk register and safety reporting and later adding enterprise risk, NPI and non-conformance—centralizing quality data and workflows. The eQMS shifted the company to a proactive approach, enabled clearer ROI reporting to executives, and delivered measurable benefits (reduced non‑compliance risk 51%, streamlined operations 11%, lowered costs 12% and grew/protected revenue 26%).
