Implementation - Step by Step

The SC21 programme is largely about doing what we already do but in a more efficient, and co-ordinated way.

Through consultation with the aerospace & defence industry, we have been able to develop and agree a common implementation engagement process across the industry for implementing SC21. The implementation process has been designed specifically to provide a simple framework within which to operate, rather than prescriptive rules.

The SC21 engagemnent process is fundamentally the same however you implement SC21, merely different organisations play different roles within the framework.

There are different pages that provides further details on the different diagnostics:

• Certification & Quality Improvement: AS9100 and Nadcap [link]  for example
• Development & Performance: (EFQM) Manufacturing and Business Excellence diagnostics [link]
• Relationships: RMM [link]
• SC21 award companies & case studies [link]

Through the national status report (previously known as the National Implementation Report), the SC21 Project Office oversees and manages the development of the programme, and proactively tracks the status of the SC21 signatory members. The plan is updated on a monthly basis where possible.

For any questions on how to implement the SC21 principles, please contact the SC21 Project Office via the email sc21@adsgroup.org.uk.
