Our Core Competencies & Specialties
Sheffield Aerospace has become a global leader in provisioning and managing professional engineering and supply chain resource support for airline and MRO material solution programs. Our company specializes in safely and compliantly identifying, evaluating, and introducing alternate material solutions (PMA, STC, OOP Parts & DER Repairs) into the airline’s operating system.
We do this by engineering solutions into the aircraft, working with the airline engineering and supply chain organizations. From part identification/conception to full approval systems including the update of airline manuals and on-wing performance tracking & measurement of solutions, we offer much more than just a “PMA Program”. This is a real intelligent sourcing and engineering program. We provide on-site engineers to handle the advanced engineering and software required to manage and sustain the complete Material Solution system, while providing the model with a No Cost option to the airline.
Our experience, specialized toolsets, and sophisticated database software will provide gains in cost reduction, increased reliability, and decreased lead-times as these alternate materials are introduced and consumed. Our Total Solution System includes, but is not limited to:
