TRAXSTAR DEFINES ROAD MAP FOR GLOBAL TEST LAB MANAGEMENT
WALNUT CREEK, California – Centralized management of multiple labs is the focus for TraxStar's blueprint for managing test labs, at one site or spread around the globe. The goal of increasing the efficiency within the lab while improving the effectiveness of management across labs is met with QATrax. Meeting this goal is increasing in importance due to the heightened impact of test lab efficiency on the speed to market.
Three trends are combining to create "the perfect storm" to threaten the effectiveness of test labs;
- Manufacturing's expansion to low wage countries
- Expanding global markets for products
- Shorter product cycles
The result is increased pressure on efficient design and validation, reliability and certification testing. A new mantra for quality and efficiency "test the product once, sell the product anywhere" is gaining adherents
This confluence of trends is occurring in a backdrop of limited test lab resources. Labs are in danger of being perceived as choke points in the dash to market. And that costs money.
TraxStar's road map for managing test labs with QATrax focuses on;
- Increasing visibility over the workflow using management dashboards to easily manage projects that span labs
- Automating the complex scheduling and rescheduling of tests, workstations, engineers and technicians
For managers, lab metrics benefit from the consistent application of workflow process and procedures across sites. Read the entire QATrax Road Map article
