SKURKA AEROSPACE INC.
CONTINUOUS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

Skurka Aerospace Inc. has dedicated itself to the philosophy of Continuous Process Improvement (CPI). CPI has become a essential program and provides a means to remain competitive in today's business environment by improving quality and reducing costs. Skurka Aerospace is encouraging its suppliers to implement and maintain a CPI program. In support of this, the following information is provided as a guide to planning, implementing and maintaining an effective CPI program.

Key areas to consider when planning a successful CPI Program are as follows:

  • Awareness
    Recognize the competitive need for continually improving quality, increasing productivity and reducing cost.
  • Commitment
    Each individual in your company should understand the operating principles for continuous improvement, increased productivity and decreased cost. Commit yourself and your business to these principles.
  • Preparation
    Identify responsibilities for program planning, implementation and maintenance. Form process improvement teams using key personnel with process knowledge. Conduct team training to include awareness, commitment and principles.
  • Implementation
    Select improvement sites based on the following:
    • Greatest potential for change
    • Greatest business impact
    • In-line with program goals
  • Baseline and Goals
    Processes chosen as improvement sites should be measured to determine baseline performance. The CPI team should decide what level of improvement is desired and set process goals accordingly.
  • Documentation
    Fully document all processes and variables. Process control requires a full knowledge of the process and all manpower, materials, methods, measurements and machines that can result in process variation. Documentation should also include all process measurements made, process cause and corrective action studies and corrective action measurements for determination of effectivity.
  • Management Support
    Management should demonstrate a visible commitment the Continuous Process Improvement Program. The process improvement team should provide training, support, guidance and feedback to process operators. Management goals and milestones should be clearly defined and communicated to operators.

All processes within a Company have the potential for improvement and reduction of variation. The CPI Team is responsible to study each process and determine if the process is meeting internal and external customer expectations. When all processes within a Company are performing to a predetermined level of performance the CPI Team is responsible to "raise the chinning bar" and set new process performance goals. This continuous improvement process can be applied to manufacturing processes as well as support processes such as sales, inventory control, purchasing, accounting, etc. Unless specifically required by a customer, measurements should focus on entire processes and not individual products. Improvement techniques should be designed to be effective over the entire process. Statistical Process Control (SPC) can be utilized as a tool to measure manufacturing trends. SPC attribute charting (pass/fail) is an effective tool in determining process yields when conducting baseline and effectivity measurements. Variable charting can be used to determine process, machine and/or operator capability or used to control a specific product within the process when required by the customer or when a specific product has been determined to be a cause of variation within an otherwise capable process.

SKURKA AEROSPACE INC.
SUPPLIER QUALITY AND DELIVERY PERFORMANCE

Skurka Aerospace Inc. has dedicated itself to the philosophy of Continuous Process Improvement and Total Quality. The increasing competitive pressure in our industry requires us to continually strive for process improvement in all areas of our business.

We realize that our success depends greatly on the success of our suppliers. In support of this Skurka Aerospace has developed a process measurement system which will allow us to track the quality and delivery performance of our suppliers. Performance date will be provided quarterly to allow the supplier to initiate and track improvement efforts.

Quality data provided includes the total number of parts received in the previous quarter, the total discrepancies, and a quality rating expressed in "Parts per Million" (PPM). We are encouraging our suppliers to maintain a rating of 2500 PPM or less.

Delivery data includes the percentages of late and early shipments in accordance with our acceptable delivery window of ten (10) days early - zero (0) days late, the percentage of on-time shipments and the average Delivery Deviation expressed in days. Delivery performance should be maintained at zero deviation.

It is our sincere hope that by providing this data to our suppliers we are helping to identify the areas which would most benefit from process improvement efforts.

As always, Skurka Aerospace is willing to provide you with assistance in realizing these goals. Please contact our Purchasing Department for further information.
