Lean Manufacturing

Visiprise solutions support lean manufacturing concepts including proactive materials management to reduce work in process (WIP) inventory, cycle time reduction that enables reduced lot sizes as well as single piece flows, and the reduction of waste by eliminating extraneous activities.

Six Sigma

Visiprise solutions support continuous improvement and Six Sigma quality processes by moving beyond the simple reporting of Pass/Fail test results to the sharing of real-time Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts and other quality data generated at subcontractor or partner sites.

Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO)

Visiprise solutions support Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operations that require complete component and vendor lot traceability for each asset, from "as-designed," through "as-built," to "as-maintained."

First Article Platform

Visiprise solutions can significantly improve First Article Platform yields in aerospace & defense. Visibility around parametric quality data and manufacturing processes is an important feedback mechanism. The unique integration with back-end product lifecycle management (PLM) and computer-aided design (CAD) systems is important for feedback loops, which refine product design and process routings. Additional capabilities within Visiprise solutions include collaboration, workflow, real-time redlining, and audit trails.

PLM Support

Visiprise solutions are utilized during the request for quote (RFQ)/request for proposal (RFP) design process and is a critical step within aerospace & defense during the design phase. Storage and analysis of product specifications, performance criteria and quality are inherent in Visiprise solutions.

Supplier Programs

Supplier programs are critical in aerospace & defense, based on the volume of suppliers utilized. Visiprise solutions can play a role here based on functionality that supports the following:

Nonconformance reporting Genealogy Field service and repair

Supplier portal and dashboard Incoming inspection Quality and assurance audits

Nonconformance Reporting

Nonconformance reporting and continuous process improvement are very important in aerospace & defense. Corrective and Preventative Action (CAPA) for product and process control is maintained to achieve a minimal acceptable quality level. Visiprise solutions support nonconformance reporting and is inherently based on a continuous process improvement loop. CAPA reporting for interoperability is collected, visible, measured, and optimized.

Quality Control

Visiprise solutions play a major role in Quality Control and has some unique advantages in the market. These advantages include proactive monitoring of events, with support of feedback mechanisms for measuring activity on the shop floor and tracking; status reporting on the work order; quality management systems for trending and nonconformance reporting; exchange portals for supplier visibility on component failures, as well as engineering for defect analysis and possible product/process re-design. Defect analysis is an essential requirement during product ramp-up where yields are very low initially.

Visiprise solutions support:

Statistical Process Control CAPA Audit Pareto defect analysis

Verified defects reporting Quality dashboards

As Maintained Bill of Material

Visiprise solutions can support the As Maintained Bill of Material, which is critical in aerospace & defense field service and aftermarket.

Remanufacture

Visiprise solutions can support the process of remanufacturing based on the as-built configuration and knowledge of component attributes. Visiprise solutions are unique in its capabilities for Design for Service with the integration of design collaboration features.
