First Article Inspection (AS9102)
Planning, execution and validation of FAIs against drawings and contract requirements, including recovery of overdue FAIs.
Phase 03
Planning & Product Qualification
Prove that new and changed products meet every design and contract requirement before they enter serial production.
Overview
Planning & Product Qualification
Product qualification is where design intent meets manufacturing reality. Across the industry, many suppliers are behind on first article inspections or re-validations, which creates qualification risk and late surprises.
We provide advisory support or fully managed programmes covering FAI, APQP and PPAP, manufacturing readiness and product testing, so parts are proven conforming before production starts.
