Fixtures Addressed!
Manage fixtures and other moveable resources
Fixtures are now a schedulable resource in the new release of QATrax, TraxStar's Lab Management Software. Often labs spend as much time and effort tracking down a fixture before testing can begin as they do on the rest of the setup. A fixture that is not available can trigger one of the most costly functions of doing business; equipment and operator downtime. So it's important to ensure that fixtures are available BEFORE testing starts. The alternative is to continue with the time-consuming process of re-scheduling the test and shuffling the schedule once again. And since it costs much less to track fixture availability instead of constantly re-scheduling, it just makes good business sense to do what it takes to do it right the first time and every time.
Following a simple process lets your schedulers and operators know which fixtures and other moveable test equipment items are reserved and which are available. This display of valuable real-time information is readily visible.
More labs are moving to a business model based on quickly assembling labs and workstations beginning with little more than shielded rooms. Users are amazed at how simple it is to reserve, schedule and document all the necessary equipment from templates or ad hoc.
You can continue living with the same old problems or choose to increase productivity now! Take a look at what QATrax offers at www.TraxStar.com

Customers Live on v 3.3.1
Rave reviews of side-by-side resource view
September's QATrax release is already increasing productivity to customers. One client's reference test lab is finding the new work order list to be quite handy to review activity for a particular workstation for various time periods. This enhanced visibility results in better information for metrics and billing. A premier telecommunications company reports that they are benefiting directly from the side-by-side resource view, enabling better management of resource teams and similar resources such as environmental chambers.
Tier 1 Auto Group Implements
Implementation begins this month
A tier 1 automotive components manufacturer is implementing QATrax during November and plans on wrapping the implementation before month's end.
