Improvement programs are part of Aeronamic’s DNA

Improvement programs are part of Aeronamic's DNA

Continuous improvement. That might sound logical, like something every organization wants to do in its own way. But for Aeronamic, continuous improvement really is logical. To continuously optimize our processes is not only what customers ask of us – it’s what we ask of ourselves. Continuous improvement is at the heart of our right to exist, improving our productivity and quality. But what does this mean in concrete terms?

Our responsibility as an employer

Our responsibility as an employer

The tables have turned. The days of applicants vying for a job are over. It is the employer who now needs to compete with others to win a candidate’s approval. How does Aeronamic distinguish itself as an employer, especially when compared to others? This shift has been going on for a while, but it seems to have reached a peak. Giulia Gatti, HR Advisor at Aeronamic, shares her views on this major change in recruitment and being an employer. She also explains how Aeronamic goes about getting the best candidates to join Aeronamic and keeping everyone aboard as loyal team players.

Join our mission zero!

Join our mission zero!

A couple of months ago, I provided you with an update on the exciting sustainable developments at Aeronamic. I told you that there was a lot going on, especially when it came to vertical take-off and landing, and I promised to write more about it soon. Well, here we are! Aeronamic is no stranger to sustainable aviation and, over the past decade, we have been developing components that contribute to more sustainable aviation. But this year, things are gaining momentum and it is now time to take this a step further. It is time for Aeronamic's Mission Zero program! What program, you might ask? Let me tell you all about it.

Freedom creates opportunities

Freedom creates opportunities

In his role for the Royal Netherlands Air Force, Frans Leijtens is responsible for the smart maintenance of components for Air Force main weapon systems. But working at the Main Support Base Woensdrecht also meant that he was confronted with non-military partners. How did he manage such a job and what new challenges did he face? Frans Leijtens tells us how the freedom and trust that he was granted led to incredible results for both Defense and Aeronamic.

The key to success in series production

The key to success in series production

High-tech, small series, diverse mix. That is what defines much of our manufacturing services. On top of that, we are vertically integrated. That means we can do both the machining and special processes in-house for all the parts we deliver. And the key to successful high-productivity manufacturing and the delivery of top quality Aerospace parts is CAD/CAM. Back in 2014, we developed a complete CAD/CAM strategy to streamline its implementation, so that we could always get the most out of the latest technology. It’s great to see how the strategy we developed back then is still on point and effective in our current work.

Introducing our cabin pressurization system

Introducing our cabin pressurization system

As a tier 2 company, we have a lot of experience acting as a liaison within the aerospace industry. We know our way between system integrators and suppliers, for example. And just as well we know how to be of value to the Clean Sky 2 project, together with Leonardo Helicopters and the NLR. At present, we‘re working together on the Leonardo Next-Generation Civil Tiltrotor (NGCTR) and one huge achievement as a result of this project was the introduction of our innovative cabin pressurization system.

The evolution of our Supplier Performance Management

The evolution of our Supplier Performance Management

At the beginning of this year, we rolled out Aeronamic’s latest innovation in the field of production processes. By pushing Supplier Performance Management (SPM) towards its next evolution, we can manage our supply chain even better. Much of this innovation will perhaps pass by our system integrators unnoticed, but ‘behind the scenes’ we are very excited about the new possibilities and how it further strengthens our position as a trusted partner. Aeronamic’s Erjan, Guido, Jeroen and Rolf are the team who came up with our new approach to vendor rating. Erjan and Rolf tell us how it happened and the benefits which come with it.

AERONAMIC RECEIVES HONEYWELL PRODUCTION APPROVAL FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

AERONAMIC RECEIVES HONEYWELL PRODUCTION APPROVAL FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Following its 5 year project '3D2SKY', Aeronamic has received production approval for Additive Manufacturing from Honeywell Aerospace. “We started the project in 2017 and at that time we had only heard of the technology. When we saw the initiatives that were taken by our customers, it became obvious that this technology would be a game changer for the industry. That's why Aeronamic decided to invest in Additive Manufacturing.

Ready for F-35 maintenance

Ready for F-35 maintenance

The PTMS maintenance of the F-35 is a joined effort. The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) and Aeronamic are teaming up to make this possible for the whole EMEA region. In an earlier blog, we talked about how we managed to not only combine our expertise and innovation, but are even able to ‘pick’ that all up and ‘plant’ it somewhere else.’ Now we get to the final part. The part of getting ready to start the actual F-35 maintenance.

THE HUMAN FACTOR IN BUSINESS OPTIMIZATION

The human factor in business optimization

Madelein had a six-month internship at Aeronamic while she was studying Industrial Engineering and Management. Then she studied for a master’s degree on Public Administration … all while pursuing a promising career with us. In fact, her track record shows that she does what we at Aeronamic already do: push limits. But it’s the thinking behind her choices which makes it interesting to dive a little deeper into her field of expertise. And to see how it links to the direction our industry is heading in.

Next step in the collaboration between LCW and Aeronamic

Logistic Center Woensdrecht (LCW) and Aeronamic solidified their partnership yesterday by signing two very valuable contracts. Because of this signing, the LCW and Aeronamic are now, more than ever before, able to jointly develop new knowledge in the field of repairs.

Logistic Center Woensdrecht (LCW) and Aeronamic have been working together for quite some time to enable maintenance of the Power Thermal Management System (start-up, cooling and energy supply system) for the F-35 at the Woensdrecht Royal Netherlands Air Force base. Aeronamic has been selected to service the PTMS of the entire EMEA F-35 fleet. In addition to the realization of a physical location of Aeronamic on LCW in building 13, a contract was signed today which states that Aeronamic can make joint use of LCW backshops for PTMS maintenance. This is a win-win situation: LCW capabilities will be optimally used, mutual knowledge will be shared and the F-35 maintenance ecosystem in Woensdrecht will be further strengthened. In the future, it will be examined whether or not other components, for which Aeronamic has been selected, can be maintained in collaboration with LCW. Aeronamic is expected to start servicing the PTMS in the first quarter of 2021.

Innovation is an important element to maintain the Air Force’s weapon systems in the future. One of the technologies that the LCW wants to have access to, is the 3D printing of metals (a.k.a. additive manufacturing). This offers an additional or replacement option to repair components. As Aeronamic has been working on this technology for quite some time now, the LCW decided to collaborate with Aeronamic to include additive manufacturing in the LCW toolbox. They will jointly develop new knowledge in the field of repairs and certify the repair method so that it can be applied in military aviation. This collaboration has also been formalized today with the signing of a contract. On the 14th of January, a combined project team will officially kick-off this new collaboration.

Adapting to changes in our industry

Adapting to changes in our industry

We all know the value of having well-educated, experienced personnel. At Aeronamic – and thus also in my assembly department – we know how crucial education and experience are for performing at the highest level. It’s not just about hiring the right people. It’s also about recognizing the potential you already have at hand. Because we create an environment in which our people, given time, can grow, we can adapt to changes in our industry.

TOP NOTCH COMPONENTS REQUIRE TOP NOTCH LOGISTICS

Here at Aeronamic, we always think beyond our products. We know that achieving customer satisfaction is more than just delivering the best aircraft components. It’s about flexibility, adequate stock levels, service, custom-made packaging, and fast delivery. My job as director of logistics is to manage and optimize these processes, to ensure that we always deliver our components to the highest possible standards of delivery performance.

DATA-DRIVEN IMPROVEMENTS

DATA-DRIVEN IMPROVEMENTS

We always look for ways to improve what we are already doing well. Much of these improvements are data driven. In fact, we use data insights as part of our craftsmanship. Although we cannot share sensitive business details, we will gladly give you a glimpse behind the scenes. As Lead Engineer, I’m responsible for managing our technical projects. You could say that I’m the link between our program managers and production. I deal with everything that goes on in between, from paperwork and first article inspections to supporting our CAD/CAM engineers. But I’m also focused on making improvements. This is where I get to combine my skills and expertise with my interest. Data is what makes the big difference when it comes to making real improvements.

RAISING THE BAR, ALL THE TIME

RAISING THE BAR, ALL THE TIME

It’s only human to make mistakes. That will never change. However, we need to limit those mistakes as much as possible. After all, we cannot supply nonconforming parts or components. Everything we make must be exactly right, meeting all customer requirements and complying with international standards. We raise the bar when it comes to meeting our customers’ expectations. And as these expectations continuously evolve towards a higher standard, we at Aeronamic also have to continuously evolve to keep up and push our own limits.

THE REAL STORY BEHIND SERVICING THE F-35

THE REAL STORY BEHIND SERVICING THE F-35

There was no chance of missing it, but just in case you did, here’s a reminder: Aeronamic is on board to service the F-35, with a program lifetime contract. This means we’ll be on the job for the coming 40-50 years. Being allowed on board is not only a sign of trust in what we do and how we do it. It’s also a great opportunity to show you what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ at Aeronamic. How we manage not only to combine our expertise and innovation, but are even able to ‘pick’ this all up and ‘plant’ it somewhere else. As you might guess, while it sounds simple, there’s a lot more to it than that.
