Aerospace
How an aerospace manufacturer reduced calibration downtime across six production cells.
Challenge
An illustrative test cell uses electrical meters, dimensional tools, pressure gauges and torque tools owned by different teams. The sample register lacks consistent identification and agreed measurement points.
Approach
One programme with recall dates aligned per cell. Torque and hand tools calibrated on-site between shifts; reference and electrical work batched in the lab.
Instruments
Micrometers, calipers, height gauges, torque wrenches, DMMs, pressure gauges
