Balloon 3 is out of tolerance.The FAI closes with the MRB on it.

Built for aerospace and defense suppliers, where every engineering change, first article, and special-process decision has to stay traceable across engineering, quality, and the customer program, and survive an AS9100 audit, a NADCAP assessment, or a customer source inspection.

Built for AS9100-certified aerospace and defense suppliers

  • AS9100
  • NADCAP
  • FAA Part 21
  • FAI · AS9102
  • AS6081

The decision lives in the thread, not the change record.

Incumbents track a configuration state and a change-record entry. Unifize reconstructs the decision trace across every function an engineering change touched, from design authority to first article to the shop floor.

When the assessor is on site, someone reconstructs it.

The reconstruction always lands on someone. Find your seat, and see what you own when the trace has to hold up at an AS9100 audit, a NADCAP assessment, or a customer source inspection.

Quality leadership

Every change, nonconformance, and MRB decision stays reconstructable.

See the quality solution →

Operations & Production

Cross-functional disposition and MRB decisions move on one accountable thread.

Program & Customer Quality

Change control, first article inspection, CDRL deliverables, and program quality plans stay synchronized across engineering, quality, and the customer.

Quality Systems & Audit

AS9100, NADCAP special-process, and government-audit evidence is captured where the decision happens.

See the compliance solution →

Engineering & Configuration

Engineering changes and configuration decisions move fast with their rationale sealed to the record.

See the change control solution →

MRB, change, special processes, the field. One trace.

Each runs with AS9100, AS9102 and NADCAP built in. Start with the one that costs you most.

Quality

From the nonconformance on the floor to an MRB disposition and CAPA an assessor can follow.

  • Nonconformance / MRB
  • CAPA & Effectiveness
  • Audit Finding Closure
  • Key Characteristics Control
See the quality solution →

Change Control

Engineering change carried to configuration, the first article and the shop floor.

  • Engineering Change Order (ECO)
  • Configuration Management
  • Process Change Notification (PCN)
See the change control solution →

Supplier Management

Special-process flow-down and AS6081 evidence across the supplier boundary.

  • Supplier Qualification
  • Special-Process Flow-down
  • Counterfeit Parts Prevention (AS6081)
  • Supplier CAPA
See the supplier solution →

Post-Market & Recall

Escapes and airworthiness directives investigated back to the part and the lot.

  • Escape & Field Investigation
  • Airworthiness Directive Response

Built to sit beside the systems that already run your program, not to replace them.

  • Coexistence, not replacement

    Unifize sits alongside the PLM, ERP, MES, and QMS you already run. It replaces the ungoverned channels where the decision trace goes missing between design authority and the shop floor, not your systems of record.

  • Auditable e-signatures

    Every approval is captured as an attributable, time-stamped electronic signature, so the decision trace is the objective evidence an AS9100 or NADCAP assessor asks for, not a reconstruction.

  • AS9100 and NADCAP questions, answered directly

    Change control, configuration management, first article inspection, special-process flow-down, and counterfeit-parts posture are walked through with your team before anything touches a controlled record.

The moments that start a clock you don't control.

Statutory, accreditation, and customer deadlines, not internal outcomes. Each one routes to the process that answers it and the team that owns the response.

The cost is real. It just never lands on a line you can see.

Coordination tax, per company per year

$0.4Mto$4.3M

Paid in chasing, handoffs and rework, one coordination event at a time. No budget line carries it, so nobody owns it. Modeled across 63 companies and 1.39M employees in the segment.
