Control Cost Reduction in the Aerospace Industry

Abstract: This report deals with new technologies about control time saving and reliability within a manufacturing unit at Airbus Safran Launchers. Firstly, it analyses various kind of checked performances and describes how checking processes work in the different workshops and define what the main problems are. Then, it focuses on checking countersunk holes control and on three-dimensional control. It studies two kinds of new technologies and explains how it can decrease checking time relating to these two issues and how it can increase control reliability. To conclude, it also presents some other technologies which reach the same goal.
