An ERP an aerospace auditor can follow.
Amplify ERP was designed around aerospace subcontract machining. The controls an AS9100 audit looks at are how the system works, not a module you switch on, so the evidence exists because the work was done.
From the standard to the system
Where an AS9100 audit goes, and what it finds.
Five areas of the standard an audit usually visits, and the records Amplify ERP holds for each.
8.5.2Identification and traceability
Which material, from which batch, went into which part.
Every receipt becomes a numbered batch with its heat number and cert. Issuing to a job is the traceability record, and it prints on the certificate of conformity.
8.5.1.3Production process verification
Evidence that the first production run was checked against the drawing.
Ballooned characteristics are held per drawing issue and measured against their limits. Nothing despatches on an issue until its first article has passed.
8.4Externally provided processes, products and services
Which suppliers you have approved, and the evidence for it.
Suppliers carry an approval expiry. A special process cannot be released to a supplier whose approval has lapsed, and the work cannot come back in without its cert reference.
8.7Nonconforming outputs
How anything that is wrong is held until it has been dealt with.
Scrap and failed inspections raise an NCR. A rejected batch comes out of use. Use-as-is needs a concession reference, and closing needs root cause and corrective action.
7.5Documented information
That work is done to the right issue, and who changed what.
Parts, routings and BOMs hang off the drawing issue. A released routing is revised, never edited, and every change to every record is on the audit trail.
Amplify ERP keeps the records. Your AS9100 certificate covers how you use them.
Day to day
The details aerospace work turns on.
An NCR raised from a scrapped serial carries the job, the operation and the part with it, and cannot be closed until the corrective action is recorded.
Serial or batch, per part
Serials allocated at release, scrapped by number and printed on the delivery note and the certificate of conformity.
Customer free-issue material
Booked in as the customer's own, tracked batch by batch and kept out of your stock valuation.
Shelf life
Batches carry an expiry date, and an expired batch cannot be issued to a job.
Scrap allowance and remakes
Plan to start more than you need, and raise a remake for exactly the shortfall when scrap goes beyond it.
Supplier performance
On-time delivery and NCRs per supplier over the last twelve months, from the receipts themselves.
A seat for the auditor
A read-only role that can see everything and change nothing, with or without prices.
The features behind it
Where each control lives in the product.
Beta partner programme
We're building this with machine shops, not just for them.
A small group of precision engineering firms is using Amplify ERP early and shaping what gets built next. There is room for a few more.
- Early access to the full system
- A direct line to the people building it
- A say in what gets built next
