Triad Semiconductor installs Numetrics ERP software

Numetrics has announced that Triad Semiconductor has deployed Numetrics' fact-based, project planning software. The Numetrics solution generates reliable, analytics-driven estimates of IC design complexity, project duration, key schedule milestone dates and engineering staffing requirements for new projects. Triad is integrating Numetrics into its R&D processes to ensure world-class development productivity and schedule predictability.

"Triad's mission is to make low-cost mixed signal IC design available to system-level designers. Our customers target their designs to Triad's ever-expanding line of Via Configurable Arrays (VCAs)," said William Pratt, vice president of Engineering. "Numetrics' IC design productivity and resource planning tools allow us to get the maximum number of VCAs to market in the compressed time frames that our customers have come to expect from Triad."

Using models calibrated with vast amounts of industry data plus Triad's own project data, Numetrics' project estimation tools enable engineering managers to generate the reliable project plans. With Numetrics' software, a project plan can be balanced to reconcile its competing constraints, including resource availability, product functionality, time-to-market and development cost, to enable maximum engineering efficiency.
Numetrics tools have been applied to over 2,000 production semiconductor IC projects from over 50 semiconductor and electronics companies.
