Cuando se es proveedor por niveles del mayor fabricante aeroespacial del mundo, la calidad y la puntualidad lo son todo. La capacidad de suministrar componentes cr\u00edticos de alta calidad y mantener el ritmo de producci\u00f3n es un factor decisivo. Cuando sus socios industriales, como los tratadores t\u00e9rmicos, no cumplen las normas de calidad y entrega, su reputaci\u00f3n y su capacidad de competir se ven directamente afectadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recientemente, nos hemos asociado con un proveedor aeroespacial que experimentaba exactamente estos problemas con su anterior tratador t\u00e9rmico. No s\u00f3lo los retrasos en las entregas se hab\u00edan convertido en la norma, sino que adem\u00e1s descubr\u00edan regularmente problemas de calidad. Otro factor limitante era la proximidad geogr\u00e1fica del tratador t\u00e9rmico. Sin un socio local, el proveedor carec\u00eda de la capacidad de rectificar los problemas de los pedidos a tiempo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trav\u00e9s de una asociaci\u00f3n dedicada y aprovechando nuestra innovadora enfoque de an\u00e1lisis de datos<\/a>Gracias a nuestra experiencia, pudimos ayudar al proveedor a reforzar su cadena de suministro y, a su vez, ofrecer una mayor seguridad a Boeing. Y, como resultado, el cliente pudo labrarse una posici\u00f3n s\u00f3lida y duradera en el mercado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fondo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El cliente es un gran proveedor con sede en Cleveland (OH) que fabrica componentes de sujeci\u00f3n y acoplamiento de alto rendimiento que deben funcionar a altas temperaturas. En 2021, tras a\u00f1os de graves problemas de entrega causados por su anterior tratador t\u00e9rmico, por fin hab\u00edan tenido suficiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching to a new supplier and localizing their supply chain would help them keep up with production needs and reduce supply chain risk and cost. They recognized AST-Paulo as an innovative heat treating partner and began working with our Cleveland facility to help us acquire the Boeing approvals they needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leader in thermal processing, we specialize in advanced heat treatment solutions that cater to various high-precision applications. After more than eighty years of heat treating, AST-Paulo has earned a reputation as a renowned provider of commercial and defense servicios de tratamiento t\u00e9rmico aeroespacial y de aviaci\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retos para la aprobaci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The customer faced significant challenges in helping AST-Paulo become a Boeing-approved heat treatment partner. Not only is Boeing\u2019s approval process known for its rigor and complexity, but this was at a time when Boeing was working to condense their approved supplier list. They had no intentions of adding any additional suppliers in the near future and, for these reasons, were resistant to considering bringing AST-Paulo into the fold.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El proceso de colaboraci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As our sponsor, the supplier remained persistent in helping us become a Boeing-approved facility. They advocated for AST-Paulo\u2019s capabilities and in return we made our team and facility available throughout the entire process. AST-Paulo\u2019s entire team, including National Sales Manager Dustin Lawhon, engineers, quality assurance specialists, and project managers, were made available to help demonstrate our advanced capabilities to comply with Boeing\u2019s standards. This collaborative spirit laid the foundation for a successful partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took nearly two years for Boeing to begin the considering AST-Paulo for approval and following a comprehensive multi-day audit, our Cleveland plant was approved for several critical Boeing specifications, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
