AEROSPACE & DEFENSE
In the aerospace and defense industry, safety, reliability, and quality are paramount. Compliance applies to manufacturers and suppliers in the field of development as well as in production and maintenance. MSI offers comprehensive aerospace quality management to organizations across the globe.

PPAP or Production Part Approval Process is an integral measure in the aerospace and automotive industries. It ensures that all parts supplied by manufacturers are created consistently with 0 defects.
With the focus on ZERO DEFECTS, AS13100 strives to simplify the already stringent and complex implementation of aerospace standards. By combining the key components of preexisting standards, AS13100 streamlines all processes. MSI can assist your organization with the above requirements with ease and ensure your organization is on track to becoming AS13100 certified.

NADCAP
NADCAP (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is a complex yet rewarding accreditation that is based on special processes like chemical processing, heat treating, and others that are used by aerospace suppliers. This certification process is intended to be a managed approach to conformity and auditing that follows strict requirements for suppliers that are standardized by government and industry leaders. The Performance Review Institute (PRI) is the accrediting body that administers NADCAP certifications.
We can prepare your organization for certification by reviewing your quality management system and performing regular audits of your special process in line with NADCAP requirements. Our in-depth audit package will provide the PRI auditor with a full scope of your organization's current processes.

NADCAP & Special Processes
By: Mary Leigh Enders
"The aerospace industry has compartmentalized the complex structure of checks and balances through the means of forming the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP). NADCAP is an industry-managed approach to conformity assessment of 'special processes' that brings together technical experts from prime contractors, suppliers and representatives from government to work together and establish requirements for approval of suppliers using a standardized approach. Before establishing NADCAP, aerospace companies audited their own Suppliers to their own process requirements to verify compliance."
