Equipment & Supply

Source, build, and trace controlled hardware

End-to-end physical delivery capability for UK defence programmes — from critical parts sourcing and dual-source identification through manufacturing oversight to full traceability.

Supply chain capability

Reducing single-source risk and building supply resilience

Supply mappingSub-tier visibilityMap critical supply chains down to raw material sources and identify single-point failures
Dual-sourcingResilience by designIdentify and qualify alternative sources for critical and long-lead components
Cost modellingShould-cost analysisBottom-up cost models that give programme teams defensible cost confidence
Lead-time trackingDelivery assuranceMonitor supplier lead times, capacity constraints, and delivery performance
Manufacturing readiness

From first article to full-rate production

Phase 01

Readiness assessment

Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) evaluation, process capability review, tooling audit

Phase 02

First article

First Article Inspection (FAI), acceptance criteria validation, build traveller creation

Phase 03

Low-rate production

Process stabilisation, yield optimisation, work instruction refinement

Phase 04

Full-rate production

Rate ramp, quality gate discipline, continuous improvement

Traceability

Auditable records from source to service

Bill of Materials

Structured BOM management with version control, substitution tracking, and obsolescence monitoring.

Build Travellers

Step-by-step production records capturing who did what, when, with which materials, against which work instruction.

Traceability Packs

Complete material and process traceability from raw material certification through to final acceptance.
