Manufacturing · Aerospace Manufacturer Management Software

One record for each part, from drawing revision to certificate of conformance.

Manage quotations, customer orders, routings, work orders, material certificates, inspections, outside processing and shipments in one system. Each part carries its drawing revision, the heat or lot it was made from, the operations performed and the checks signed. Planners, machinists, inspectors and the quality manager read the same job.

  • Part numbers, routings and special processes entered the way you run them
  • Customers, open orders and material stock migrated
  • Edits to routings and inspection plans handled by GullySystem staff when asked

Shops that turn out aircraft parts, assemblies and ground equipment use Aerospace Manufacturer Management Software, configured by GullySystem, for quotations, orders, routings, material traceability and inspection. Each job holds its drawing revision, material certificates, operations, nonconformance reports and shipping papers. Any serial number leads back to its bar or forging, and the certificate of conformance is assembled from that record.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Drawing revisions are copied around

A drawing arrives by email, is printed for the floor and is saved again in the quote folder. Each copy can carry a different revision letter.

Certificates are filed away from the job

Material certificates, special process certificates and inspection sheets are held in separate folders. A customer query means joining them by hand.

Routings differ from what is done

The planned operations sit in one file and the booked hours in another. The real cost of a part is only known after the order has shipped.

Outside processing is tracked on challans

Parts sent for heat treatment, plating or testing are listed on paper. Which lot is where, and what is due back, depends on whoever last checked.

Quality actions are not followed up

A nonconformance is written, a cause is suggested and the corrective action is left open. Repeat issues are found only on the next audit.

Calibration and tooling dates are separate

Gauges, fixtures and cutting tools each have their own list. A job can be inspected with an instrument that is past due.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Enquiry and quotation

    A request arrives with a drawing and specification. The estimator prices material, machine time, special processes and inspection, and the customer accepts or revises.

  2. 2

    Order review

    The accepted order is checked for drawing revision, quantity, certificates and flow-down clauses. Planning and quality both sign off before release.

  3. 3

    Routing and work orders

    A routing lists each operation in sequence. Work orders are released to machines, and material is issued by heat or lot.

  4. 4

    Production and inspection

    Operators book time and quantities. Inspectors record first article and in-process results and raise nonconformance reports when a feature is out of limits.

  5. 5

    Special processes

    Lots go to approved vendors with a challan. On return, the certificate is matched to the lot and the next operation is released.

  6. 6

    Release and shipment

    The quality manager reviews the file, signs the certificate of conformance and releases the shipment. Invoice and packing list are drawn from that same job.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Enquiries and drawing-based quotations

Log each request with its drawing and revision, price material, machine hours, special processes and inspection, and keep every quote revision.

Customer orders and requirement review

Hold each order with its revision, quantity, required certificates and ship date, and record who reviewed it in planning and in quality.

Part masters and bills of materials

Keep one record per part number with its revision history, assemblies, components and the specification each material must meet.

Routings and work orders

Build a routing for each part, release work orders by operation, and see which machine and operator carries each step.

Material, heat and lot traceability

Receive bar, plate and forgings against their certificates, issue them to jobs by heat or lot, and trace any serial number back to its source.

Inspection and first article records

Record dimensional results against the drawing, first article reports and final checks, with the inspector and the instrument used.

Nonconformance and corrective action

Raise a report when a part fails, record the disposition, assign a corrective action and keep it open until the cause is closed.

Vendor processes and returns

Send lots to approved vendors, record what is due back, and attach the vendor’s certificate before the next operation starts.

Purchasing and goods receipt

Raise purchase orders with the specification quoted, receive material against them and hold the supplier’s certificate on the receipt.

Gauge and tooling calibration

List gauges, fixtures and measuring tools with calibration due dates, and warn when a job calls for an instrument that is past due.

Shipments, certificates and invoices

Build the certificate of conformance, packing list and tax invoice for each shipment from the job record, and post receipts against it.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Estimate/Quotation Management

    Each quote is priced from material, machine hours, special processes and inspection, and every revision stays linked to the drawing revision it was based on.

  • Order Management

    An order is held with its revision, quantity, required certificates and ship date, so planning and quality review the same requirements before release.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each part number lists its components, purchased items and revision history, so an assembly order pulls the right parts at the right letter.

  • Work Order Management

    Work orders are released by operation to a machine, with the operator, booked time and quantity recorded as each step is finished.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Bar and plate are issued by heat or lot, and a finished serial number can be followed back to its certificate and the jobs that used it.

  • Quality Control

    Measured values are recorded against drawing characteristics, with the inspector, the instrument and the pass or fail result kept on the part.

  • Job Work Management

    Lots sent to approved vendors are tracked out and back, and the returning certificate is matched to the lot before work continues.

  • Asset AMC Tracking

    Gauges and fixtures carry their calibration calendar, and a warning appears when a job calls for an instrument that has passed its due date.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Quotations by outcome: open, won, lost
  • Work orders by machine and status
  • Bar, plate and forgings issued to each job
  • Lots out with vendors and their promised return
  • Nonconformance reports by cause and state
  • Gauges coming due for calibration
  • Shipments and billing by customer
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Machine shops cutting precision parts for aircraft and engines
  • Producers of airframe assemblies, brackets, fittings and fasteners
  • Cabin interior, seating and galley equipment manufacturers
  • Builders of ground support equipment and tooling for airports and hangars
  • Suppliers who build to customer drawings and ship a certificate with every lot
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A small shop making a few parts a year with no serial records can run on drawings and a spreadsheet.
  • Repair and overhaul of aircraft already flying is better served by a maintenance system, and general component makers may prefer Manufacturing Production Management Software.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Your part numbers and routings

Part masters, operation lists and the special processes you use go in first, in the order you run them today.

Inspection plans and certificates

Characteristics, sampling and certificate wording follow what each customer asks for. They are reviewed with your quality manager during implementation.

Approved vendor list

Vendors for heat treatment, plating and testing are entered with the processes each one may carry out.

Orders and stock migrated

Customer accounts, open orders, heat-numbered material and the gauge list are carried over from your sheets.

Currency and tax settings

Billing for an overseas airframe or engine customer follows that country’s currency and tax treatment, settled with our team before the first shipment is invoiced.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Is it for machining, assembly or both?

Both. A machined part runs through a routing of operations, and an assembly is built from a bill of materials of parts and purchased items. Each carries its own inspection record.

Can we trace a serial number to its material?

Yes. Material is received against its certificate and issued by heat or lot. A finished part links back to that source, the operations it passed through and the inspections signed.

How are drawing revisions controlled?

Each part master holds its revision history, and an order records the revision it was accepted at. Work orders show that revision, so the floor does not guess.

Can it handle first article inspection?

Yes. Characteristics from the drawing are listed, measured values are recorded against them and the result is kept with the part and its revision. The report format is set with your quality manager.

Does it follow aerospace quality standards?

It holds the records those systems ask for. Judging whether your procedures satisfy a standard or a customer clause is work for your quality team and auditors, and we review it with them while configuring.

Can parts go out to vendors for special processes?

Yes. A lot is recorded when it leaves and when it returns, with the vendor’s certificate attached. The next operation stays blocked until that certificate is on file.

Can our open orders and heat-numbered stock be loaded?

Yes. Yes. Part masters, open customer orders and bar or plate stock with heat numbers are taken from your sheets, and your planner spot-checks a few against the paperwork before the first release.

Who owns the data?

You do. The quotation also states how part, lot and certificate records can be handed back to you.

What does it cost?

No price is published. The figure depends on the seats, the routings and the inspection plans involved. You first see a demonstration using sample part records and a certificate of conformance, then the proposal gives the number.

Wondering what it costs? Six questions give you a written scope and the buckets any quote should separate.
