Vector Aerospace move from paper-based systems

The challenge

Vector Aerospace is committed to being the benchmark against which maintenance, repair and overhaul businesses are measured. The company needed an efficient quality management system to comply with standards and improve operational visibility. Their challenges included:

• Managing incidents and non-conformances with a laborious paper-based system
• Limited visibility of the current state of findings and actions
• Difficulty in tracking the cost and progress of non-conformances 

The solution

Vector Aerospace selected Ideagen Quality Management for its:

• Streamlined quality management capabilities
• Compliance with standards ISO 9001:2008, AS 9100, AS 9110, and Mil Part 145
• Improved assignment and tracking of corrective and preventive actions (CA/PA)

The implementation

Before, Vector Aerospace struggled with a cumbersome paper-based system for managing incidents and non-conformances. The transition transformed their quality management processes, making them more efficient and transparent. This led to significant resource savings and improved operational visibility, allowing the company to focus on business improvement programs. 

The outcome

• 80% faster PPAP completion ensures timely product approvals
• Streamlined document management with reduced reliance on physical paperwork
• Consistent quality assurance with automated, mistake-proof workflows
