Operation Offload

Operation Offload(TM) represents a vision of the future, both for Spectrum and our marketplace.
O.E.M.s are tasked with providing fixed or rotary wing aircraft within sharply reduced lead times coupled with backlogged order books. In order to obtain the myriad of complex component parts necessary to maintain timely production schedules, the airframe manufacturer must employ responsive, quality-oriented sources of supply. Typically, the manpower and time necessary to pursue this function for virtually thousands of parts can be costly and often results in delays from parts being incorrect or out of phase in terms of schedule demands. As a highly responsive, proven small business, Spectrum can perform as a sub-system integrator.
Spectrum maintains a trained, experienced workforce well versed in aerospace sub-assemblies, and we can provide an efficient means of reducing part shortages. By purchasing the numerous small parts, inspecting, assembling and testing them as part of the next higher assemblies, Spectrum can deliver the fuel or hydraulic system sub-assemblies per the customer schedule, and get it right, the first time.
With an experienced staff we can not only buy the parts but design the necessary test stands, tooling, etc. to assemble, inspect and provide a fully tested sub-assembly and let you know as to where the schedule stands on a virtual daily basis if necessary. In fact, we have recently increased our capacity and have the right people standing by to assist you with you parts/sub-assembly requirements.

Small Parts Go In... |
|
|
 |
Spectrum earned its reputation in aerospace by designing, testing, qualifying and manufacturing complex aircraft components. As such, we have a system in place for handling, inspecting, testing and assembling various small, precision fuel or hydraulic system components.
Our system is perfectly situated to not only purchase the parts but to inspect and track them into kits for production, with full traceability in place for all parts which travel through our facility. From the screws and connectors right up complex machined housings and precision valves, all parts are kitted and routed to the production floor technicians for assembly and test.

| Assembly According to Detailed Engineering |
|
 |
Spectrum has been designing, assembling and testing aerospace subassemblies for more than 50 years.
Our fully approved design system enables us to either prepare our own assembly and inspection operation sheets or adapt your own to fit. Each step of the assembly process is documented and governed by operation sheets with inspection points which are signed off or stamped upon approval.
The assembly and inspection sheets are prepared and submitted for O.E.M. review, comment and approval prior to beginning work on any new contract. This data is then protected by rev. letter for rapid traceability.
All technical data is kept up to date automatically and and any changes or requests are documented to make certain that all interested parties remain "on the same page" technically, from start to finish.
In this manner, inspection and shipment remain on schedule.

"Turn-key" operation.
Spectrum can either assemble and inspect the subassembly per your specifications and then deliver it to you for final inspection and installation to the airframe, or we can work with you to prepare the specifications right up to the final inspection to preclude the need for further inspection at your facility.
Spectrum will also buy the parts, design and machine the complex components, inspect, process, assemble, test and paint them - and ship a completed unit to you. Spectrum will also regularly advise your facility as to where we stand each step of the way, so you are aware of project status from start to finish.
Spectrum can then either have the item packaged for you to your specifications or have it packaged to await installation at a future date.
Presently, Spectrum can also handle precision assemblies, hydraulic sub-assemblies, manifolds and fuel system sub-assemblies.
Ask us how we can help you "offload" some of your needs.
