SES’s Quality System is more than just a certificate on the wall, it is an integral piece of everything we do. Currently SES possesses ISO 9001:2008, AS9100 Rev C and AS9110 Rev B Certifications. ISO 9001:2008 represents a model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production, Installation and Servicing. AS9100 and AS9110 represent well-defined Aerospace Quality Systems requirements for the design, manufacture, maintenance, repair, alteration, overhaul and system integration of aircraft, assemblies, subassemblies, and components for Department of Defense, Aerospace, and commercial applications. Furthermore, SES is FAA Part 145 Certified (Bell 206, 407 & BK117) and has on-site DCMA Oversight. SES Flight, Ground and Safety Operations were evaluated by DCMA and received Green, low risk ratings in all areas. SES earned the following recognitions from DCMA for our systems: DCMA Approved Purchasing System, DCMA Approved Property Management System and SES was recognized as a DCMA Green Low Risk Company.
Our warfighters require and deserve the highest quality weapon system hardware — their lives depend on it. SES has developed, documented and implemented Aerospace compliant procedures that cover all aspects of the operation. These processes are audited for compliance and effectiveness as part of our robust internal audit process, our Customer/Second Party Audits – performed by DCMA, Boeing, & Sikorsky, and our Third Party Audits – performed by Intertek on a semiannual basis.
At SES, quality is built into the product, not inspected into the product. All employees have primary responsibility to assure parts "meet the Customers' stated and implied requirements." Inspection stations are strategically placed throughout the shop for in-process inspection by the employees manufacturing the parts. SES has a comprehensive line of inspection, measuring and test equipment. Records are kept providing traceability of inspection equipment to each program/job. Calibration procedures are maintained for all inspection equipment.
As a small business, SES prides itself on attracting and retaining the industry’s top technology experts. SES is primarily focused on two areas: 1) research and development (SES R&D Center), as it applies to bio-chemical, laser/optics, aviation, missile and other DoD weapon system hardware; and 2) weapon system manufacturing and integration.
SES’ engineering talent and resources provide a unique and creative team focused on the engineering disciplines optimized for total weapon system life cycle sustainment. Success is realized through organic in-house engineering and technical capabilities and unprecedented Government/Industry partnerships.
SES offers the full spectrum of engineering and technical expertise to support your requirement.
