Case Study: WECO Electrical Connectors Inc achieves 5× faster QC and preferred‑vendor status with Zontec's Synergy 2000

WECO’s Process Is Now 5 Times Faster Using Synergy 2000

WECO Electrical Connectors Inc., a Québec-based manufacturer of terminal blocks and connectors, needed to modernize its quality systems after a customer audit revealed reliance on paper-and-pencil SPC (hourly X-bar and R calculations) and missing first-pass yield records. To gain preferable vendor status and improve process control and QC inspection, WECO chose Zontec’s Synergy 2000 SPC software.

Zontec implemented Synergy 2000 to automate SPC (X‑bar/R, histograms, capability and run charts, np charts) with immutable timestamps and flexible data banks, enabling multi-process monitoring and automated reporting. As a result, WECO’s QC process is five times faster, electronic reports helped secure preferable vendor status, suppliers were prompted to replace worn tooling—saving $1,000–$2,000 per incident—data banks grew from ~25 to 600, and reduced data-entry errors meant the software has paid for itself; Zontec’s solution also improved decision-making and customer reporting.
