Manufacturing Technology Analyst-5; Supply Chain Engineering Oversight & Compliance

As a MTA-5 Engineer in the Supply Chain Engineering (SCE) group I attended scheduled Production Readiness Assessment (PRA) meetings at the Suppliers site, which is a discussion with the Suppliers Individual Contributors and Boeing’s Commodities Team. A specific set of Engineering Questions are discussed to determine the Supplier’s readiness to provide commodities, products, components, sub-assemblies and services to Boeing with on time delivery and the highest quality possible. The collection of real time analytics about the Company’s historical performance will guide the Commodities Team as the discussion deep dives into critical Boeing requirements necessary for acceptable delivery performance. The ultimate goal of gathering this information is to perform Reliability, Availability, Maintainability Risk Analysis to determine if past issues can be corrected and future problems mitigated with the ability to execute compliance within their facility for excellent quality of products with on time delivery. Maintenance Repair Organizations use of GoldEsp to acquire certified components on time.

Also Verification and Validation of products and processes will determine if the ability to handle rate fluctuations exists.
