Leverage our extensive test and enterprise software expertise.

IntraStage Consulting and Gap Analysis.

Transitioning from legacy data collection systems/databases to a Test Data Management system requires careful forethought and analysis to minimize costs and reduce deployment time. At Customer sites large and small, our Evaluation Teams have identified hidden silos of data that are crucial to overall product quality, and have architected time and cost-efficient methods for extracting, transforming and loading that data into the dedicated test data management system.

Leveraging their extensive test and enterprise software expertise, our teams interview stakeholders in Test, Supplier Quality, Contract Manufacturing Management, Operations, Information Technology, R&D and RMA/Field Quality in order to obtain a detailed picture of the factors for a customer’s overall product quality.

Once we understand those factors, we can leverage:

  • Multi-serial number entry
  • Realtime Feedback window with Procedures / instructions / schematics / drawings / WECO / SPC
  • Context sensitive limits and instructions at every step
  • Numeric, string, drop-down, and Boolean measurement support

The outcome of this Evaluation process is a formal document that clearly identifies customer needs, data silos, and a deployment plan (including a milestones and dependencies). By having this formal deployment document, our customers can proceed with integrating a test data management solution with minimal risk and a high ROI.

CASE STUDY:
Challenge:

Lack of visibility into failure reasons and yield issues. Lack of tracking process anomalies which impact the overall manufacturing throughput.

Lack of characterization on performance issues.

No way to be proactive on line-stopping issues and problems. Ability to monitor critical KPI’s in real-time with Alerting and enterprise level visibility.

“The use of ‘data’ in industry today has become synonymous with the perception that organizations who use data effectively are modern and moving forward by increasing efficiency and staying competitive in a global market, whereas those who don’t are falling behind.”

CASE STUDY:
Challenge:

As a high-volume manufacturer with a dedication to higher quality and lower customer returns, Calix needed a way to track and control the RMA process.

RMA data for each customer was tied directly to customer satisfaction and Calix profitability.

Needed to replace two existing, incompletely integrated RMA/FRACAS commercial, off the shelf software system and processes in a very tight (less than one month) timeframe.

“The software is very easy to use and we were able to train several of our internal customers to use IntraStage to pull the reports they needed without our help, which saves them a lot of time.”
