While many aerospace suppliers are required to create inspection reports for their customers, they also produce internal planning documents for their internal purposes. By creating a separate report for a customer and then for themselves, companies face a redundancy that wastes time and valuable resources.
Internal check sheets that capture operations, work instructions and routing, of course, is a necessary part of producing the plan for part inspection and quality checks. Often companies fi nd that the information is practically the same they need to produce for the OEM, but not close enough to simply send the customer the same information they need for their internal purposes.
The result is a duplication of very similar e fforts and can create a delay in producing the part and shipping to the customer. The more redundant paperwork a company has to endure, the more stress it causes on the resources and a ffects a company’s bottom line and responsiveness.
