SAE and PRI: Standards and Compliance in the Aerospace Industry Presented by Hannah Godfrey eQuaLearn Coordinator-Europe, PRI October

Agenda 1.Aerospace Technical Standardisation for Global Business 2.PRI and the Nadcap Progam

Aerospace technical standardisation for global business Hannah Godfrey PRI on behalf of David Alexander SAE Aerospace Standards Europe

SAE Core Competencies Standards and Related Products Lifelong Learning Technical papers, books Engineering conferences, meetings, symposia etc… Membership community

The Aerospace Industry is the most data (and standards) intensive industry requiring robust strong standards systems to support our data needs SAE Standards form part of the product definition data used to define, manufacture, certify, operate and support aerospace products SAE Standards have a defined mission: Interoperability & interconnectivity Reliability, repeatability, quality Safety and certification Why the Aerospace Industry Develops and Uses SAE Standards… I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for manufacturers, airlines and suppliers to have internationally recognized standards, not only to cut the cost of stocks, but also for common practices with their consequential effects on aviation safety enhancement.

The document is proposed The technical committee works to develop the document draft The draft document is balloted – first by the committee, then by Aerospace Council Required changes made; affirmation ballot The document is published by SAE Transparent standards devel opment

Industry Standardisation One single standard All stakeholders involved One industry approach harnesses the quality and innovation One industry approach reduces cost across the industry

Standards Development All stakeholders involved: manufacturers, suppliers, regulators and operators Clear interest in development and use of standard Speaking the same technical language Global nature of development ensures global influence and global use

Benefits Your influence is in the standard Keep up to date with innovation Exposure to peers, suppliers and customers Industry has invested in standard Global scale

Recent developments 13 AS 5553 Standard on Counterfeit Electronic Part Avoidance ATM Steering Group AS 9535 Standards on Environmental Reporting ARP 9536

Future developments 14 Runway Lighting Standard Underwater Locator Beacon Verification Criteria for Counterfeit Parts Avoidance Aircraft Fuel Cells Integrated Vehicle Health Management

AeroTech 2011 Premier SAE Aerospace event Exhibition, conference and seminar program Technical committee meetings Hosted by Airbus October 2011, Toulouse

Aerospace Quality Standard AS/EN/JISQ 9100 Globally harmonised aerospace- specific QS Requirement for Nadcap accreditation and many manufacturing approvals SAE hosts OASIS database: procurement tool

Example Standardisation of material/part/system Company complies with Nadcap, industry and/or regulatory requirements Company meets standard Standard referenced by FAA/EASA etc.. Standard published All stakeholder interests considered Influence on standard Development of standard Company secures new business

Audit Checklist Industry experts manage all key steps Audit Conducted Audit Results Process Evaluation / Improvement Auditor Qualification & Selection Corrective Actions As Required Regulatory Compliance

Tangible results A participating prime contractor reports a saving of over $1million annually while achieving technically superior audits. An accredited Nadcap supplier has tracked a 97% reduction in rework resulting from improvements to their system stemming from Nadcap requirements. Surveys performed on the Nadcap accredited supplier base indicate an average 40% reduction in audits following Nadcap accreditation.

Subscriber Perspective #1 “Work together... to right size our processor base and continually improve certification and oversight... A quality initiative that will lead overall industry cost reductions.”

Subscriber Perspective #2 “The objective is to have a high performing self managed supply base”

Supplier Case Study Customer visits dramatically reduced Quality survey & audit team reduced by at least ¾ Rework rate reduced from 5 – 6 per 100 to 2 – 3 per 1000 Scrap rate reduced from 1 in 1000 to 1 in 3000 Escapes reduced from 1 per 3 - 5,000 to 1 per ,000

Focus on Value & Cost Effectiveness “Sales have increased more than 200%. Earlier we …were known only in India … After Nadcap we have worldwide recognition …our customer base was only 5 earlier and after Nadcap our customer base has increased to 15.” “Customer claims decreased over 25% this year compared with last year.” “Nadcap Accreditation has helped to raise our profile and respect within UK industry. We have targeted and won better "class" of business.”
