Episode Details

If your machine shop aims to break into the aerospace ecosystem after being successful in other non-regulated industries, you may be shocked by the regulatory and process requirements that may be imposed upon you. You might feel that you are selling in a completely different market. There are certification requirements, but you also have to watch for the triggers when you need to notify your customers about any process changes or risk losing your contract.

In today's episode, we have our guest, Angela Thurman, who discusses the process for supplier capacity and quality planning. She also describes the aerospace ecosystem and how each stakeholder interacts within it and shares several stories of supplier audits. Finally, she shares the overall guidelines and deviations of what is permitted by the OEM and what is expected from other companies involved in the aerospace value chain.
