Defence and aerospace engineering operation

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Defence, Aerospace & Military Suppliers

Protect operational assurance across people, procedures and evidence.

Strengthen compliance
and assurance

Preserve complete
historical proof

Control access to
sensitive evidence

OVERVIEW

This scenario follows an 800-person defence and aerospace supplier operating across four regulated sites, with engineering, production, inspection, quality, authorised signatories, suppliers and specialist contractors.

Before SKRIXX, procedures, competence, evidence, permits and authorisations are spread across multiple systems. When requirements change, teams struggle to prove who was trained, assessed and authorised against the correct version at the correct point in time.

BEFORE SKRIXX — COMPLIANCE BASELINE

800employees across engineering, production and quality

4regulated sites and supplier operations

16 FTEtraining, quality and compliance resource

90 hrseach week checking authorisation and deployment readiness

180 hrsweekly manager, quality and supervisor assurance administration

30+procedures, matrices, permits and evidence repositories

COMPLIANCE & ASSURANCE FOCUS

Defensible proof, not just completion data

SKRIXX keeps the relationship between controlled procedures, learning, practical evidence, accountable sign-off, authorisation and workforce deployment. Historical records remain preserved when procedures change or people move roles.

Version-specific proofWho viewed, acknowledged, passed and was signed off against each controlled revision.

Complete audit historyRecords remain available for audits, investigations and customer assurance.

Authorisation controlReadiness depends on evidence, experience, assessment and accountable approval.

Protected governanceRole-based access, SSO and controlled visibility for sensitive workforce evidence.

THE CHALLENGE

!Course completion being mistaken for operational authorisation
!Procedure revisions creating hidden retraining and reassessment impact
!Evidence and sign-offs not linked clearly to the applicable procedure version
!Critical authorised tasks depending on one or two specialists
!Supplier and contractor competence records held outside the core workforce view
!Historical assurance reconstructed manually for audits and investigations
!Security, export-control and role restrictions complicating access to records
!Expiring certificates, permits and authorisations identified too late
