Boeing Helps Prepare Danish Machining Firm Multicut for Aerospace Quality Management System Certification

By Boeing | February 10, 2010

VILDBJERG, Denmark, Feb. 11, 2010 — The Boeing Company
[NYSE: BA] this week launched an industrial-cooperation project to
assist Multicut, a high-end machining firm based in Vildbjerg, as
it pursues AS/EN 9100 certification. This project supports the
Boeing industrial-cooperation program that is tied to Denmark’s New
Combat Aircraft competition. The Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
strike fighter is a finalist in the contest.

The project began with a Boeing Supplier Quality expert training
Multicut employees on the quality management system (QMS)
requirements used across the aerospace industry. Over the coming
months, the Boeing expert and a third-party QMS specialist also
will assess Multicut’s overall operations in preparation for its
AS/EN 9100 certification audit later this year, and provide any
necessary follow-up guidance.

“As a company with a clear goal to expand into the global
aerospace market and preserve jobs for Danish industry workers, it
is invaluable for us to tap into Boeing’s quality management system
expertise,” said Frank Dühring, Business Development manager
for Multicut. “The training and assessments will help us gain AS/EN
9100 certification, which is a ‘must have’ for winning subcontracts
from the main players in the aerospace industry.”

AS/EN 9100 is based on ISO 9001 standards, with additional
specific requirements for aerospace manufacturing. Most major
aerospace manufacturers, and their suppliers, require AS/EN 9100
compliance. In adopting this standard, Multicut also expects to
benefit from quality improvements and cost reductions.

“In just over a decade, Multicut and its metalworkers have
distinguished themselves in the machining industry,” said Rick
Cisiewski, senior manager of Boeing Industrial Participation in
Denmark. “The training and assessments Boeing is offering support
Multicut’s plans to grow into the aerospace industry. This workshop
is part of a broader Boeing program to position Danish industry for
high-technology manufacturing jobs and demonstrates Boeing’s
commitment to working with Danish companies of all sizes.”

Today, Boeing also is hosting an AS/EN 9100 quality management
seminar at Unimerco’s manufacturing facility in Herning, Denmark.
More than 40 Danish firms are expected to participate in the
conference, which Boeing is offering in conjunction with CenSec,
the Danish Defense and Security Industrial Cluster; FAD, the
Defense and Aerospace Industries Association in Denmark; and DECA,
the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority under the Ministry
of Economic and Business Affairs.

Multicut is a
high-end factory delivering complex machined parts and
subassemblies. It uses state-of-the-art production equipment in its
Lean manufacturing facility — including 9-axis turn-mill, 5-axis
vertical and 4-axis horizontal computer numerical controlled
machines networked with robotic material handling systems.

A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space &
Security
is one of the world’s largest defense, space and
security businesses specializing in innovative and
capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world’s largest and
most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered in
St. Louis, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is a $34 billion
business with 68,000 employees worldwide.
