Aerospace Transducers

• Why are Aerospace transducers different from
  Industrial transducers even though they look
  alike?

21
RAW Material Traceability

• Aerospace transducers can be traced back to the
  RAW metal that built the transducer

22
GP50 Aerospace Presentation

• Aerospace buzz words.
• "B" Class represents higher reliability EEE parts
  than normal commercial parts
• EEE parts are electronic, electrical or
  electro-mechanical
• "S" class represents a higher reliability than
  "B" Class - more testing and traceability
• "RAD hard" represents the ability of a transducer
  to operate in a radiation field to levels
  specified.

23
Definitions

• HEAT number-unique identification established by
  the metal manufacturer for each smelt of metal
  product. Allows traceability to the tested
  chemical and physical properties of the metal.
• RAW material-metal received from distributors or
  manufacturers in standard shapes and sizes (i.e.
  Round 1, Tube 1/8 O.D. 0.1 I.D.).
• Type of material-316L stainless steel, INCONEL
  625 etc.

24
Definitions

• Critical Dimension-Any dimension that has a
  tighter tolerance than the drawing standard
  dimension. This is determined by engineering and
  is employed in areas critical to the transducer
  assembly.

25
RAW Material Traceability-How?

• RAW Material is received into shipping and
  receiving department, and held until the Quality
  Assurance (QA) department can inspect to the
  Purchase Order(PO), records the HEAT number and
  then tags material with the HEAT number. The
  material is released for stocking.
• QA then enters the PO number, type of material,
  shape of material, size of material and HEAT
  number of material into a RAW material tracking
  database.

26
RAW Material Traceability-How?

• Work Orders (WO) are issued for the part to be
  manufactured.
• Work Orders have a unique number assigned
  (industrial uses 1XXXX type Aerospace uses 3XXXX
  type).
• The work order number is assigned to a shop
  traveler that details how the part shall be build
  and the approved drawing for the part is
  attached.
• The WO identifies the total number of parts built
  on the WO.
• The machine shop pulls the required material (as
  called out on the bill of material for that part)
  and then record the HEAT number for the RAW
  material used to manufacture the part on the shop
  traveler. .
• This is where Industrial parts are separated from
  Aerospace parts, industrial parts do not have the
  HEAT number recorded for the part)

27
RAW Material Traceability-How?

• Aerospace parts then go to QA for inspection to
  drawing requirements. 100 of all the parts are
  checked for critical dimensions.
• Parts that dont meet drawing requirements are
  rejected by QA and a Non-Conformance Report (NCR)
  is issued against the rejected parts. The work
  order is held in QA until the NCR has been
  dispositioned by Engineering and concurred to by
  QA.

28
RAW Material Traceability-How?

• Accepted parts are labeled by QA with the Part
  Number, revision level of the drawing/work order,
  HEAT number, WO number, LOT number (which is a
  combination of the WO number-HEAT number)
• Parts are received into Aerospace stock and the
  LOT number for each WO recorded in our MRP
  (manufacturing resource planning) system DBA
  software. Then the parts are placed in assigned
  part number bins in the Aerospace Stock Room

29
RAW Material Traceability-How?

• Note Parts from different WOs are NOT
  intermingled together so TRACEABILITY to RAW
  material HEAT number is maintained.

30
RAW Material Traceability-How?

• WOs for transducers are issued, a PICK LIST is
  generated from the BOM in DBA for the transducer.
  Parts are assigned to the transducer and their
  LOT number recorded on the PICK LIST and in DBA
  for the WO. Each transducer under a work order
  has an individual shop traveler assigned, and
  each transducer has an individual PICK LIST that
  the LOT numbers are recorded for each part in the
  transducer. Each transducer is assigned a unique
  serial number. When shipped, each serial number
  for each transducer is recorded into DBA.

31
RAW Material Traceability Conclusion

• Customer has transducer with serial number 703408
  and has a problem (port cracked) and wants to
  know how many of his other transducers were made
  from this defective HEAT material. The Model
  number traces to the WO number that build the
  transducer, serial number traces to each part
  used to manufacture the transducer, port part
  number and LOT number traces to the HEAT number
  of the RAW stock used to manufacture the part.
  HEAT number then can be used to trace all parts
  that used this material.

32
RAW Material Traceability Conclusion

• This is RAW material tractability-customers that
  need this kind of traceability need Aerospace
  manufactured transducers.

33
Electronic Parts Traceability

• Electronic piece parts in a transducer can be
  traced to their specific manufacturer and
  LOT/DATE code.

34
Definitions

• LOT/DATE code-This is a unique alpha-numeric
  number assigned by the electronic part
  manufacturer to identify LOTs of parts
  manufactured at the same time and when they were
  manufactured.

35
Electronic Parts Traceability-How?

• Parts are purchased from Approved Manufacturers
  (maintained on a Approved Manufactures List
  maintained by QA) by issuance of a PO (ordering
  information concurred to by Engineering and QA
  and as a minimum always requires a LOT/DATE code
  from the supplier) to either electronic part
  distributors or manufacturers. Parts are order
  by their manufacture number so that specific
  parts can be cross-referenced from place to
  place.
• (Here is where industrial differs from Aerospace,
  industrial electronic parts are ordered but no
  requirement for manufacturer LOT/DATE code is
  requested or maintained. Industrial does not
  have an Approved Manufacturers List)

36
Electronic Parts Traceability-How?

• Parts are received into QA, where they are
  inspected to PO requirements. Parts that do not
  meet the PO requirements are rejected and a NCR
  is generated against the part supplier for the
  rejected parts. The PO is held in QA until
  Engineering and QA disposition the NCR.
• Approved parts are labeled by QA by their
  manufacture number and LOT number (lot number is
  the unique PO number generated at time of
  purchase, industrial POs use 1XXXX type Aerospace
  use 3XXXX type).

37
Electronic Parts Traceability-How?

• Parts are received into Aerospace stock and the
  LOT numbers for each PO recorded in our MRP
  (manufacturing resource planning) system DBA
  software. Then the parts are placed in assigned
  manufacturers part number bins in the Aerospace
  Stock Room.
• Note Parts from different WOs are NOT
  intermingled together so TRACEABILITY to PO
  number and thus supporting part manufacturer NAME
  and LOT/DATE code is maintained.

38
Electronic Parts Traceability-How?

• Work Orders are issued for electronic assemblies
  to be manufactured. Work orders have a unique
  number assigned (Aerospace uses 3XXXX type).
• The work order number is assigned to a shop
  traveler that details how the assembly shall be
  build and the approved drawing for the assembly
  along with a BOM is attached.
• A PICK LIST is generated from the BOM in DBA for
  the assembly.
• Electronic parts are assigned to the transducer
  and their individual LOT number recorded on the
  PICK LIST and in DBA for the WO.
• The WO identifies the total number of assemblies
  built on the WO.

39
Electronic Parts Traceability-How?

• Completed assemblies are 100 inspected by QA,
  then receive a 150 hour burn-in process. (Some
  receive 100 hour burn-in with eight thermal
  cycles then 50 hour completed transducer
  burn-in.) Then are inspected again by QA.
• Accepted assemblies are labeled with part number
  and LOT number (unique work order number that
  they were built from)

40
Electronic Parts Traceability-How?

• Parts are received into Aerospace stock and the
  LOT number recorded in our MRP (manufacturing
  resource planning) system DBA software. Then the
  assemblies are placed in assigned part number
  bins in the Aerospace Stock Room.
• Note Parts from different WOs are NOT
  intermingled together so TRACEABILITY to
  electronic part LOT/DATE code maintained.

41
Electronic Parts Traceability-How?

• Work Orders for transducers are issued, a PICK
  LIST is generated from the BOM in DBA for the
  transducer. Assemblies are assigned to the
  transducer and their part number and LOT number
  recorded on the PICK LIST and in DBA for the WO.
  Each transducer under a work order has a
  individual shop traveler assigned, and each
  transducer has an individual PICK LIST that LOT
  numbers are recorded for each assembly to each
  transducer. Each transducer is assigned a unique
  serial number. When shipped, each serial number
  for each transducer is recorded into DBA.

42
Electronic Parts Conclusion

• Customer has transducer with serial number 703408
  and has a problem (electronic part with LOT/DATE
  code 0401 has failed and has a GIDEP alert
  issued) and wants to know if we used this part
  LOT/DATE code in his transducers.
• The Customers transducer part number is inputted
  in DBA and a BOM can be generated. The BOM can
  be interrogated down to the piece part level in
  DBA and if the electronic part is in the
  customers transducer design (Let say it is), then
  the serial number for his transducer(s) will
  identify the WOs that built the assembly.
• This WO number will identify the LOT number for
  the electronic part used, which will identify the
  manufacture of the part and the LOT/DATE code so
  the customer question can be answered.

43
Electronic Parts Conclusion

• This is Electronic Part Tractability-Companies
  that need this kind of traceability need
  Aerospace manufactured transducers

44
Higher Degree of Manufacturing Control

• Aerospace has a higher level of control over the
  manufacturing process.

  special notes, procedure referral and then
  provide for technician initial and date that
  steps are completed.
• Each transducer has a shop traveler vice one shop
  traveler for an order.
• QA inspection steps at critical manufacturing
  processes to minimize rework due to errors and
  provide for in-process inspection.
• Provide for in-process data requirements.

46
Manufacturing Control-How?

  three runs (Ascending, Descending, 2ND
  Ascending), providing for Linearity, Hystersis
  and Non-repeatability calculation. Additionally,
  all transducer are thermally compensated and
  verified to meet customer requirements. All this
  information is provided to the customer in an
  easy to read and understand form (Calibration
  Report).
• Note All calibrations meet NIST traceability
  requirements.
