Case Study: Teradyne halves parts request time with Z2Data Part Risk Manager

Teradyne halves engineer parts request time with Z2Data

Teradyne, a leading designer and manufacturer of automatic test equipment, faced challenges in its commercial parts sourcing processes. A business analyst, Shirley Loaiciga, was spending significant time fielding up to 100 requests per week from engineers for component data. The previous software tool was unreliable, often providing untimely or insufficient information, which sometimes required a separate team to conduct lengthy manual research with multiple manufacturers.

To address this, Teradyne implemented the Part Risk Manager solution from Z2Data. The platform centralized all necessary component data, providing immediate access to specifications, compliance status, and lifecycle forecasts. As a result, the time to complete each parts request was halved from approximately 10 minutes to just 5 minutes, dramatically increasing efficiency. Z2Data also enabled Teradyne's team to respond more quickly to critical product change notifications and obsolescence information.
