Aerospace and Defense

The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry is changing on a daily basis. With highly complex requirements, endless component lists, certifications, commercial and governmental controls, the A&D industry remains one of the most demanding challenges faced by manufacturers.

To succeed in A&D, manufacturers must integrate their business processes via virtual enterprises that link customers and suppliers, and must embrace a collaborative environment to enhance manufacturing agility. In essence, A&D manufacturers are morphing into contractors that provide complete solutions and services - and their suppliers are morphing at the same time.

Quality Management


Of course, when it comes to quality control, the aerospace and defense industry leaves little room for suppliers or contractors to fail; these companies must deliver systems and equipment to exacting requirements, or with no leeway for error.

Product Identification


With rapid changes in technology and business models, monitoring and controlling every step of the supply chain, manufacturing, and delivery process is essential to understanding the performance of a business. Tracking this information while building mission critical and safety critical systems is even more demanding.
