- Managing incidents and non-conformances with a laborious paper-based system
- Limited visibility of the current state of findings and actions
- Difficulty in tracking the cost and progress of non-conformances
The solution
Vector Aerospace selected Ideagen Quality Management for its:
- Streamlined quality management capabilities
- Compliance with standards ISO 9001:2008, AS 9100, AS 9110, and Mil Part 145
- Improved assignment and tracking of corrective and preventive actions (CA/PA)
