• 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.

Alain Garcia, Senior VP Engineering, AIRBUSWorld Aviation Congress, 2004, Reno, NV

committee, then by Aerospace Council Required changes made; affirmation ballot The document is published by SAE

Transparent standards development

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

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 6 - 10,000

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.”
