GSQA Helps Ensure Safety for U.S. Army Parachutes
Downers Grove, IL (PRWEB) August 14, 2013 -- EMNS, Inc. has signed an agreement with Airborne Systems North America Inc. (Airborne Systems), a division of HDT Global to provide the state-of-the-art supply chain quality management system GSQA®.
Driven by U.S. government regulations and executive expectations, Airborne Systems’ products must be of the highest grade of performance and safety requiring an extraordinary focus on quality. Since the bulk of materials are sourced, supplier quality is paramount.
The implementation of this system will ensure Airborne Systems continues to manufacture military parachutes of the highest quality. With GSQA®, suppliers will enter their test data online using a number of methods into a standard ANSI Z1.4 sampling format in GSQA® for immediate specification validation and approval for shipment. The company’s receiving locations will then be alerted automatically by advanced ship notices to help plan production more efficiently.
They will know what materials are arriving, when, and that they are guaranteed to conform to company/ANSI/U.S. Army specifications barring any in-transit damage. Analysis of the shipments and material test results will provide insights into supplier problems and corrective actions before a serious mishap can occur. This eventually improves processes and increases efficiencies.
The implementation of GSQA® supports the U.S. Army’s T-11 replacement project for nearly 50,000 existing T-10 parachutes as well as the RA-1 Ram-Air parachute system which will begin fielding in January 2014.
