Case Study: Teradyne achieves faster time to manufacturing, improved supplier quality, and lower costs with IntraStage

Managing Supplier Quality with Remote Data Monitoring and Alerts

Teradyne, a world leader in automatic test equipment, faced the challenge of ensuring consistent, high-quality supplier-sourced components across a global supply base and preventing process drift that could harm yields and on-time delivery. To get real-time visibility, archive critical data, and deploy Statistical Process Control (SPC) without forcing suppliers to become SPC experts, Teradyne turned to IntraStage, using its Paperless Manufacturing product and BlackBelt manufacturing system for remote data monitoring and alerts.

IntraStage implemented a cloud-based supplier quality system with customizable Paperless Manufacturing forms, customer adapters to ingest multiple file formats, and WECO/SPC analytics that track Cp/Cpk and trigger near‑real‑time alerts. The IntraStage solution gave Teradyne and its suppliers immediate visibility into emerging trends, enabling corrective action before bad components shipped — delivering faster time to manufacturing, better quality, lower costs, fewer supply disruptions, and maintained yields and market position.
