Case Study: Large Aerospace Supplier cuts defects by 53% with EASE Inc.'s Layered Process Audits

Aerospace Supplier Cuts Defects in Half with Layered Process Audits

Large Aerospace Supplier, a tier I aerospace components and systems manufacturer, needed a better way to manage its layered process audits across 21 plants worldwide. Its paper-based audit process made scheduling, follow-up, data entry, and tracking too time-consuming, making it difficult for quality teams to complete the frequent audits needed to support a strong quality program.

The company implemented EASE’s mobile audit platform to automate scheduling, reminders, checklists, corrective-action tracking, and real-time reporting for LPAs. With EASE, one plant increased from just 7 audits in a year to more than 100 audits per month, and the company reported a 53% reduction in customer defects, along with earlier detection of process issues and better shop-floor visibility.
