Traceability—the ability to identify and trace the history, distribution, location, and application of products, parts, and materials—is a must-have for aerospace and defense manufacturing success. As the use of “big data” as a strategy to drive manufacturing excellence yields complete traceability as a by-product, it also enhances the business through greater quality and efficiency.
Today, manufacturers in the aerospace and defense sectors are expected to provide traceability. It has become a significant challenge for many in these industries, particularly when manufacturing products that incorporate advanced technologies and stringent regulatory requirements.
This informative whitepaper explores the evolution of traceability in aerospace and defense manufacturing and the current reactive methods employed when implementing it. It will also envision a future where effortless data collection and the acquisition of big data in manufacturing can deliver the precise traceability demanded by customers and regulatory authorities alike. This whitepaper outlines the parameters necessary to achieve a big data manufacturing solution and offers guidance on key questions to ask third-party solution providers.
