Expertise we serve
Incidents Follow-up
We analyse production incidents with a process and quality focus, identifying root causes and directing them to the relevant stakeholders. Our teams also manage synchronisation and follow-up of both minor and major incidents.
Obsolescence Management
We help to ensure the long-term availability of materials, substances, equipment, and parts through a comprehensive and proactive approach:
- Design Phase
- Planning Phase
- Reactive Phase
Supply Chain Risk Management
We support the end-to-end process of part availability for production and repairs:
- Stock evaluation, forecasting, and planning: Anticipation of shortages
- Supplier capacity and production planning integration
- Risk analysis and mitigation planning
Safety & RAMS
We support safe system development throughout the V-cycle by applying best practices like ARP4754 and ARP4761 to anticipate and mitigate risks. This covers safety plans, dedicated to customers’ processes, safety analysis tailored to aircraft (aircraft/system/equipment levels) or helicopters, such as FHA, PSSA, SSA, FMEA/FMES, MMEL, CCA, PRA, and dependability assessments aligned with space authority regulations.
