When activities like contract review, supplier readiness verification, and First Article Inspection (FAI) planning are treated as administrative steps rather than operational quality gates, programs move forward with unresolved risks. These gaps often surface later as supplier escapes, production delays, and costly recovery efforts.
This is why many aerospace organizations find themselves stuck in a cycle of reactive problem solving. Instead of preventing issues during pre-production, teams are forced to manage them during manufacturing when the cost and impact are significantly higher.
For decision makers responsible for quality, engineering, manufacturing, and supplier oversight, strengthening aerospace pre-production is one of the most effective ways to stabilize programs and prevent downstream disruptions.
Watch the Webinar on Aerospace Pre-Production Fails
Led by Jason Anderson, Director of Solutions Engineering at SQA Services, the webinar explores:
Why aerospace pre-production failures lead to production instability
How gaps in contract review and FAI planning create downstream risk
Why inspection-centric quality models often discover problems too late
Practical strategies for preventing quality crises before production begins
If your organization is working to improve supplier quality, program stability, or production readiness, this session provides valuable insight into how aerospace pre-production decisions shape program outcomes.
