At the beginning of 2024, we were selected to take part in the AERO Excellence project led by Airbus. The aim of this major initiative is to create a single standard for the aerospace and defence industry to which SMEs and equipment manufacturers can conform.
AERO Excellence is based on five pillars
- Organisation and resource management
- Planning and logistics
- Industrial management of suppliers
- Industrialisation and quality
- Manufacturing excellence
With around 800 criteria assessed and classified into three levels, this approach provides a comprehensive overview to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Our expertise supporting the project
As one of the four companies selected in Germany for the pilot project, we spent five days auditing several Airbus sites, including Bremen, Hamburg and Toulouse. This in-depth assessment enabled us to gain an overview of industrial processes throughout the supply chain.
We are delighted to be providing our expertise, representing SMEs and working with Airbus on a workable implementation.
