Aerospace and Defense supply chains are entering a new era – one defined not just by production rates, but by data integrity, real-time visibility, and digital accountability. For Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 suppliers, traditional inspection models can no longer keep pace with the speed and complexity of today’s build schedules.
This is where digital quality platforms such as SQA’s Mobile Inspection Capture and Control System (MICCS), paired with STEPQ (Supplier Tracking and Evaluation Program – Quality) integrations, create measurable value.
For more than a decade, SQA has deployed MICCS across large, fast-moving aerospace programs. The results are consistent: increased documentation accuracy, earlier defect detection, and a defensible digital trail for every part, process, and supplier. These systems provide the transparency OEMs need to manage risk and the efficiency suppliers need to stay competitive.
Beyond defect tracking, MICCS enables analytics-driven supplier intelligence: trend lines, escape types, documentation gaps, and risk scoring tied to real performance. This transforms source inspection from a reactive activity into a proactive quality strategy.
As Aerospace and Defense organizations push toward higher production rates and tighter cost targets, digital inspection is no longer optional – it is the foundation of modern supplier oversight. SQA’s digital systems ensure quality data is captured once, accurately, and in real time, allowing leaders to make informed decisions faster.
