Quality & Compliance

Certifications are the entry fee. The system is the product.

Every shop bidding aerospace work has an AS9100 certificate on the wall. What separates suppliers is whether the system underneath it actually runs the floor — whether an operator can stop a job, whether the data is honest, and whether the record survives an audit six years later.

Certifications & Registrations

Credentials, with the details a supply-chain audit asks for.

Quality System

How the record gets built.

Documentation is not paperwork we generate after the fact — it is produced as the part is made, by the person making it.

01

First Article Inspection

Full AS9102 Rev C reporting — Forms 1, 2, and 3 — with ballooned prints, bubble-to-report traceability, and material and process certifications packaged as delivered.

02

Statistical Process Control

Critical and key characteristics monitored on live control charts with Cpk ≥ 1.67 targets, automatic out-of-control alerts, and operator-level reaction plans.

03

GD&T & Model-Based Definition

Interpretation and inspection to ASME Y14.5-2018 and ASME Y14.41, working directly from CATIA and NX models carrying embedded PMI.

04

Traceability

Heat-lot to serial-number traceability across raw material, tooling, program revision, operator, machine, and every outside process, retained for program life.

05

Calibration

NIST-traceable calibration on a managed recall schedule, with gage R&R on every dedicated gage and MSA before a program releases to production.

06

Corrective Action & FOD

Documented root-cause analysis with 8D and 5-Why, effectiveness verification, plus an active FOD prevention and control program on the floor.

07

Source & Government Inspection

Facility, systems, and documentation set up to support customer source inspection, DCMA involvement, and government property management.

08

Configuration Management

Revision-controlled routers, programs, tool lists, and fixtures. A part built in year six is built to the same configuration as the part built in year one.

Data Security

Your drawings are controlled technical data. We treat them that way.

CUI handling

Controlled unclassified information lives in a defined enclave with NIST SP 800-171 controls, FIPS-validated encryption at rest and in transit, and no third-country access.

Access control

Least-privilege access by program, multi-factor authentication, logged file access, and documented offboarding. Controlled work is restricted to US persons.

Physical security

Badge-controlled facility access, segregated storage for controlled hardware, visitor escort procedures, and camera coverage on the floor.

Flow-down

DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements flowed to every subtier processor, with cyber requirements verified as part of supplier approval.

Incident response

A documented and exercised response plan with the 72-hour DoD reporting obligation built into it.

Auditing us before you award?

Ask for the quality manual, the certificate package, and a floor walk. We would rather you see the shop than read about it.
