Case Studies - Defence

Goodrich manufactures safety critical components for aircraft including pumps, actuators, valves and turbine blades.

QinetiQ provides Goodrich with extensive equipment support at seven sites across the UK. The services include asset management, equipment calibration and repair, support to production test rigs and first article inspection.

This is more than an 'outsourcing' agreement. QinetiQ provides an essential element of the manufacturing process and its people are seamlessly integrated into the Goodrich production line. QinetiQ has even taken on Goodrich staff to ensure that it has full control and responsibility for first line inspection and calibration services.
