Aerospace part sourcing for Canada
LIFA coordinated aerospace supplier qualification and part-level traceability for a Canadian program, supporting first-time OEM audit acceptance.
- The buyer
- A Montreal, Canada aerospace components supplier.
- The product scope
- Aerospace machined parts; housings, brackets, and fittings; 90 references, 60,000 parts. Program value $4.9M.
What needed to change?
AS9100 supply-chain audits require full material and process traceability; the prior source failed twice, delaying an OEM contract.
How LIFA managed the work
We qualified 2 manufacturers with AS9100 certification.
We implemented part-level traceability from melt to delivery.
We managed NADCAP-required processes and documentation.
We coordinated the OEM audit support.
OEM audit passed first time; 100% traceability; zero escapes in 12 months; the contract extended to $6.3M.
From our company project database, with the work, approvals and results shown together.
What this project shows
Material and process records needed to stay attached to the part throughout production. Audit support drew on that chain of evidence.
Client identities, supplier contacts and confidential commercial terms are withheld from this public company record.
