Quality

General A&E is proud to be a leader in quality and innovation, now with the prestigious NADCAP certification alongside our ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 : Rev D certifications. Since our founding in 1954, these commitments have driven our continued success and reputation for excellence.

We ensure quality at every step by employing a sophisticated software system that oversees each phase of our production process. From quotation and contract review to order entry, production planning, and execution, each stage is meticulously managed and verified. Our quality control measures include the inspection of the first piece at every step, with employees logging progress and time via barcoding. Foreign object detection (FOD) protocols are integrated into our operations and are regularly audited to maintain the highest standards.

All our inspection equipment undergoes regular calibration, ensuring traceability to NIST standards. These procedures are rigorously audited by our quality registrar, who conducts recertification every three years and performs annual surveillance audits to maintain our AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications.

We are committed to continuous improvement, driven by monthly performance analyses against our objectives. This performance is meticulously tracked and reported by our quality management software, reinforcing our dedication to excellence in every aspect of our work.
