Aerospace and defense OEMs and suppliers are under pressure from customers, who are pitting them against each other in a competition to drive down costs, and to share the risks, and investments. At the same time, suppliers must meet all of a program’s technical and performance requirements at cost, on schedule and highest quality. This is driving them toward continuous improvement and innovation, made possible by consistent and integrated systems that support the zero-defect strategy through lessons learned loops in all fields.

Our closed-loop quality solution meets the requirements and needs of aerospace and defense industries, enabling companies to gain competitive advantages. We provide a best practice quality management system that enables organizations to safeguard compliance, optimize quality, reduce defect and rework costs, and achieve operational excellence by increasing process stability. The integrated process capabilities (control charts, statistics, and quality gates) can detect production errors to avoid further processing and shipment of nonconforming material. The benefits can be maximized when integrated with higher-level systems such as product lifecycle management (PLM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP).
