Aerospace · Workflow
Aircraft parts manufacturing and assembly tracking
Automatically tracks aircraft parts from initial manufacturing through final assembly, ensuring quality compliance and real-time visibility across the production lifecycle. Reduces manual tracking errors and accelerates delivery timelines while maintaining aerospace safety standards.
Workflow Trigger
New aircraft part production order is created in SAP for Aerospace & Defense
Visual Flow
Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.
- 1Trigger
Production Order Initiated
A new aircraft part manufacturing order is created in the ERP system with specifications, quantities, and delivery requirements. The system automatically extracts part numbers, materials, and quality requirements.
- 2Action
Generate Manufacturing Instructions
CAD designs and manufacturing parameters are retrieved from engineering systems to create detailed work instructions and tooling requirements. Quality checkpoints and inspection criteria are automatically embedded.
- 3Action
Track Production Progress
Real-time manufacturing status is monitored through shop floor systems, capturing completion percentages, cycle times, and quality measurements. Digital work instructions guide operators through each manufacturing step.
- 4Decision
Validate Quality Standards
Automated quality inspection results are evaluated against aerospace certification requirements and customer specifications. Parts failing validation are flagged for rework or rejection.
- 5Action
Update Assembly Readiness
Approved parts are marked as available for assembly and their locations are updated in the inventory management system. Assembly teams receive automatic notifications when all required components are ready.
- 6Action
Generate Compliance Documentation
Complete traceability records, certificates of conformance, and material certifications are automatically compiled for regulatory compliance. Digital twin records are updated with as-built configurations.
- 7Output
Deliver Assembly Package
Finished parts with complete documentation packages are released to assembly operations with full traceability chains. Quality certifications and material genealogy records accompany each component.
Outputs
- Certified aircraft parts ready for assembly
- Complete traceability documentation
- Quality compliance certificates
- Real-time production status dashboard
Key Metrics
- Manufacturing cycle time
- First-pass quality rate
- On-time delivery percentage
