Teradyne SCE was implemented by Hitachi Computer Products (America) to provide the rigorous level of quality management required to support ISO 9002 certification and achieve the business profitability and growth goals associated with the introduction of several new products into production.
"We are very pleased with the support provided by Teradyne in implementing the SCE solution", said Larry Harvey, plant quality manager at Hitachi Computer Products (America).
"It was up and running with minimal disruption to our production operations".
Teradyne SCE enables Hitachi Computer Products (America) to automatically correlate in-process quality information with work-in-progress and product genealogy data, improving collaboration between all groups in the supply chain and accelerating the new product introduction process for the company's configuration-to-order (CTO) manufacturing operations.
"The applications of the SCE solution are far-reaching", continued Harvey, "we originally implemented it as an inward facing solution for process improvement - which it performs very well, but once we got it up and running we found it actually provides even greater value as an outward facing solution to improve customer responsiveness".
"Teradyne SCE enables discrete manufacturers to meet their business objective of minimising inventory and improving customer satisfaction by providing real-time shop floor information to manufacturers and their partners via the Internet", said Ron Lindell, manager of Teradyne's supply chain execution software group.
"Teradyne SCE also increases manufacturing throughput by identifying production bottlenecks in real-time.
It decreases time to market by electronically managing the implementation of engineering changes, an operation that is essential for manufacturers of highly engineered products".
