MRP Software For Aerospace Suppliers
Aerospace work is assessed on evidence: approved revisions, authorised release, written concessions and retained records.
Operational Characteristics
- 1.
Nothing may run to an unapproved revision, and proving that matters as much as doing it.
- 2.
Concessions and deviations require a formal written record, retained.
- 3.
Material history has to answer in both directions, for years.
- 4.
Records are expected to be tamper-evident, with corrections made as auditable adjustments rather than edits.
Common Control Gaps
Revision Control That Relies On Discipline
The quality manager and the issuing engineer know the approved revision. Whether the job on the floor runs that revision depends on whoever raised it.
Concessions Agreed And Then Documented
People agree use-as-is in a conversation so the delivery can go, and the paperwork follows. Sometimes.
Evidence Assembled At Audit Time
A surveillance audit lands and a fortnight disappears into assembling records that doing the work should already have produced.
Relevant Capabilities
- 1.
Quality, concessions and traceability
Keystone refuses use-as-is without a written concession, and links a non-conformance to recorded material lots and affected jobs. - 2.
History that cannot be rewritten
Audit entries record changes and corrections. Corrections add records; they do not overwrite them. - 3.
Works orders with routing snapshots
A job records the bill and routing it was raised against, so the revision it ran to stays on record.
What this does and does not do
Software Does Not Certify A Quality Management System
The 9100 standard for aviation, space and defence quality management systems is published through the International Aerospace Quality Group, and certification to it is awarded against an organisation and its quality management system — its processes, its people and its records — by an accredited certification body. No software product can be certified in place of that assessment, and buying one does not make an organisation certified or keep it certified.
What a system can do is hold the records an auditor asks to see, and make them a by-product of the work rather than something assembled afterwards. That is what the capabilities above are for.
Which Plan These Records Need
Recorded lot and heat provenance and certificates of conformity are in Core, alongside revision-controlled parts, routings, works orders carrying routing snapshots and the operational audit history. The formal quality workflows on this page — inspections, non-conformances and written concessions — are part of Factory and above.
We describe what the records support. We do not claim the product is AS9100 certified, that it is “AS9100 compliant software”, or that using it guarantees your certification. Compare plans.
