When aerospace manufacturers evaluate suppliers, the first thing they look at is audit results. Passing an aerospace audit isn’t just about having paperwork in order — it’s a proof that the factory’s machining capability, quality control, and delivery reliability can stand up to the most demanding standards.
Our facility recently went through several audits by aerospace customers and received high praise for accuracy, stability, and consistency in machining. In this article, I’ll share what that means in practice, why it matters to buyers like you, and how these results can reduce your sourcing risks.
Why Aerospace Customers Audit Their Suppliers
Unlike other industries, aerospace parts cannot tolerate deviation. Even a 0.01 mm variation can compromise safety or performance. That’s why aerospace customers conduct supplier audits covering:
-
Dimensional accuracy – Are machined parts consistently within tolerance?
-
Process stability – Can the factory repeat the same results across batches?
-
Quality system compliance – Does the shop follow AS9100/ISO9001 standards?
-
Traceability – Can every part be tracked back to raw material and machining data?
