Ben Sommerville, the COO of Phoenix Logistics will be presenting at the 2011 AeroDef Manufacturing Exhibition and Conference in Anaheim, California at 1:00 pm on April 7th. The AeroDef Conference brings together executives from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Bell Helicopter, and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining, and the aerospace supply chain to explore ways to meet the modern day manufacturing challenges in aerospace and defense and how drive innovation and efficiencies at each tier of the supply chain.

Phoenix Logistics is excited to announce the addition of two new rep companies to our Sales Team. The expansion of our Sales team will help PLI better serve customers across the world in Asia and Turkey. United Metal Resources and Panwest International will specialize in selling various PLI products and services including MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus products and expertise, high performance Microwave and RF components, and industry leading integrated aerospace supply chain support.

The goal of any Quality Management System (QMS) is to effectively manage all aspects of products and processes across the supply chain. This starts with raw material providers and culminates in a final product deliverable. Effective management requires input at all levels of manufacturing, and the supplier scorecards provide the tools in which to evaluate those inputs in order to continuously improve outputs.

It is with this strategic business objective that PLI announces its revamped supplier scorecards, an enhanced tool specifically geared towards performance and efficiency improvements. And as always, it is about the bottom line; our customers’ satisfaction and guaranteed high-performance products.

Quality Department First Article Initiative results in more productivity, increased efficiency, and reaffirms Phoenix Logistics commitment to an exceptional customer experience.

Compliance duties are the obligation of any organization that strives to adhere to industry recognized Quality Management programs. What can become a causality of Quality Management obligations is incorporating methods that truly enhance and exploit the unique characteristics and abilities of the organization’s members. First Article Inspection reporting, record keeping, and compliance is a hallmark attribute of any AS9100 registered company.
