Case Study: Teradyne improves inventory management and supply chain response with Kinaxis RapidResponse

Teradyne reduces excess and obsolete inventory with Kinaxis

Teradyne, a leading supplier of automatic test equipment, faced significant challenges due to its complex and volatile market. With products comprising thousands of parts and an outsourced global supply chain, the company struggled with long lead times, frequent demand fluctuations, and managing inventory liability. They required a solution to gain visibility and improve their supply chain response, leading them to partner with vendor Kinaxis.

Kinaxis implemented its RapidResponse supply chain management software, which provided Teradyne with global visibility across its own and its subcontractors' systems. The solution enabled planners to perform what-if analyses and determine the best course of action for any supply chain change. As a result, Teradyne saved money through improved inventory management, reducing excess and obsolete inventory and minimizing liability from unnecessary materials purchases. Kinaxis helped Teradyne develop a core competency in supply chain response management.
