Whether it is building aircraft, engines, or high tech components, Aerospace is an exciting high technology business.

But regardless of the sophistication of the end product, the Aerospace manufacturer faces many of the same problems that are prevalent in any metal fabricator, electronics manufacturer, or automotive supplier. The scale is larger, the tolerances often tighter, and the cost (and potential for savings) is substantial; but the problems are similar – no process is perfect. If it were possible to make the same part, the same way, to the same tolerances every time, life would be easy. But all processes have variation built in, and you need to control and minimize that variation to achieve the reductions in scrap that can quickly eat up your profit margin.

QIC can help by working with you, and providing tools to identify both the extent of the variation, and the root causes. Then QIC can help you put systems and business practices in place to achieve control of your processes, and react quickly to variation before the product is affected. And part of this solution set are the tools to ensure proper and current documentation of all aspects of the business.

QIC has worked in aerospace for many years. Our solutions have helped aerospace companies achieve ISO9000, DSI9000 and improved products.

Some of the areas we can help are:

Data Collection hardware and software
Statistical Process Control
Attributes / Defect Analysis
Documentation Control and Management
Control Plans, FMEA, PPAP and other documentation
Workplace safety and training
SPC Concepts training
Gage interfaces
