Engineering Workflow Validation
What we examined
- FAI preparation: drawing ballooning, characteristic lists and AS9102 forms
- Inspection records, gauges, CMM output and measurement evidence
- Manufacturing quality records, from in-process checks to release
- Engineering documentation, drawing revisions and approvals
Recurring problems
- FAI takes too long: manual ballooning and spreadsheet-based characteristics
- Inspection evidence is disconnected across drawings, measurements, revisions and approvals
- Certification documentation is hard to coordinate across requirements, tests and approvals
These findings shaped the DAQIP roadmap. We do not publish customer names or data from this work.
