Aerospace Supplier Readiness Scan
FrançaisTwelve things an OEM or tier-1 sourcing team screens on before they read your quote. Rate yourself honestly — you get the ranked gap list back immediately.
About your company
The twelve dimensions
Answer for the work you want to win, not the work you do today. Blank is fine — skipped questions don't count against you.
Quality & certification
Quality management system (AS9100D / EN 9100)Hard gate
A current aerospace QMS certificate, not ISO 9001 alone. Scope must cover the work you want to win.
Nadcap special-process accreditationHard gate
Heat treat, NDT, chemical processing, welding, composites, coatings — held by you, or by a named sub-tier you control.
First-article and APQP discipline (AS9102 / AS9145)
You can produce a compliant FAI package and run APQP/PPAP without outside help.
Compliance & security
Export control (ITAR / EAR / DFARS)Hard gate
DDTC registration where required, EAR classification understood, specialty-metals compliance, and screening of your own suppliers and owners.
Cyber posture (NIST SP 800-171 / CMMC)
Required before you can hold controlled unclassified information on a defense program. A current SPRS score counts.
Sustainability & materials reporting
Conflict minerals, REACH, and the scope-3 / CSRD data European primes increasingly ask for at RFQ stage.
Capacity & delivery
Capacity and rate readiness
You know your true utilization and have demonstrated a rate increase — the single thing a backlogged OEM is buying.
Delivery and quality performance
You measure on-time delivery and escapes, and can show corrective actions closing.
Material access and lead-time truth
Titanium, Inconel, aluminium plate — mill relationships, allocation exposure, and quoted lead times that match actuals.
Commercial & digital
Digital thread and quote turnaround
You can take a 3D model plus a spec stack and quote it quickly. Slow quoting is the most common reason a shop never gets a second RFQ.
Long-term agreement readiness
You can price a multi-year LTA with an escalation mechanism that survives input-cost movement. This is where aerospace suppliers quietly lose money.
Financial durability
You can fund work-in-progress on a long programme, and you are not dangerously concentrated on one customer.
Three short questions
Self-declared. ADEXMA verifies certificates against the public registries before any company appears as verified in the Ohio Aerospace Readiness Index.
