The Evolution of IAQG: Global Manufacturing Strategies

1. The Future of Global Manufacturing(Internat. Aerospace Quality Group Strategies) Georg Schrader IAQG

2. Key Words • Organization of the International Aerospace Quality Group • Motivation for IAQG Founding and Development • IAQG till 2005 • IAQG Strategy Today and Tomorrow • Cooperation and Support from Aviation Authorities

3. IAQG Organization International Aerospace Quality Group IAQG Council General Assembly Forums AAQG (Americas) EAQG (Europe) APAQG (Asia) Whose purpose is: Implement initiatives that make significant improvements in Quality and reduction in cost, throughout the value stream, by establishing and maintaining dynamic cooperation, based on trust, between international aerospace companies

5. Motivation for IAQG Founding and Development • IAQG Members agreed in 1999 to establish common standards to • reduce duplication and waste • minimize variations • share resources and • speak with one voice This was necessary in view of the rapid global extension ofprime companies and major suppliers as well as their international networks including the new markets.

6. Motivation for IAQG Founding and Development • The reasons of other industries (e.g. textile) to invest in the new • market were very often • low cost structures • tax, government incentives • lower raw material costs etc. mostly cost-driven factors • For complex products the progress to cooperate with the new • market is more gradual and better controlled, e.g. • Offset agreements for production • Maintenance activities • Risk-sharing agreements for design and • complex components • Common research and design development

7. Motivation for IAQG Founding and Development • The more complex the product, the more important is the pool of • qualified staff and an effective sub-tier supply base. • (There are e.g. 8.8 million young people with education in science and • engineering in China (growing) and e.g. 1.3 million in Germany (not • growing due to demographic effect)) • To achieve a Quality Partnership on a global scale and on the • new market, we need • a high level of qualification and education • a high degree of standardization and • effective logistics and process management • IAQG accepted this task on the basis of international cooperation.

8. IAQG till 2005 Successful development of a set of common global standards and guidelines Management of Quality System Management of Processes Guidelines for Inspection and Documentation Methods • Manufacturing • Repair Stations • Distributors • Key Characteristics • Special Processes • Qualification of Standard • Parts • First Article Inspec. • 2-D Bar Code • 3-D Data Archiving • NDT Training

9. IAQG Strategy Improvement Strategy • Quality Mgt. System • Process Capability • People Capability • Human Factors • Sub-tier Supplier Control • Evaluation Relationship Growth Strategy • Space • Defense • Civil Authorities • Suppliers • Airlines IAQG Operating Management System • Member Collaboration • Top Leader Involvement • IAQG Operational Efficiency

10. IAQG Strategy Streams • Quality Management System Harmonization of system standards and regulatory requirements • Process Capability Extension of process management to the whole product life cycle • People Capability Staff and quality professional development, training/qualification standards • Human Factors Improvement of safety culture including cultural aspects and common understanding of quality terminology • Sub-tier Supplier Control Standardization of supply management methods including processes for asssessing the suppliers ability to select and manage their suppliers • Evaluation Visibility of quality performance and performance metrics

11. Cooperation and support from Aviation Authorities No other Industry is deeper embedded and in a permanent dialog with Regulatory Authorities than the aviation industry, and especially in countries where manufacturer and airlines are public enterprises. Therefore IAQG needs support/help from authorities in the frame of global manufacturing; our list of wishes: • Harmonization of Organization System descriptions should be • harmonized as much as possible. • (AS/EN/SJAC 9100, FAR21, Part21, AQAP,...) • IAQG desires better cooperation between the design, production and • maintenance functions, including consistent expectations on supplier • management within the authority organization to avoid interruptions. • EASA-organization made a good first step in that direction • Due to more and more products being used in both civil and • military application stronger cooperation between the civil authorities • and military is desirable to be continued

12. Cooperation and Support from Aviation Authorities • Because parts are manufactured almost anywhere to support quick • and seamless movement to the end user, „Bilateral“ shall be extended • wherever possible or agreements shall be developed allowing one • authority to act for another • Authorities shall allow to offer „Sub-TC priviliges“ to global • suppliers (specialists) with the TC-holders agreement • Electronic Documentation should be extended • Common glossary to understand terminology worldwide shall be • usefull
