Capability Overview
RLC Engineering Group has over 50 years experience in the manufacture of aerospace components, structures, sub-systems and assemblies. Our comprehensive manufacturing, assembly, treatment and testing capabilities, coupled with supply and logistics management, deliver fully integrated supply solutions, rather than piece parts alone.
A fundamental understanding of product lifecycle is a key principle of our supply chain management approach. RLC has the ability to manage, through discreet business units, high volume civil production and low volume high variety production for the defence sector. We are able to manage and accommodate the complete product lifecycle, with special emphasis on the initial development phase and the end of life ‘stranger & alien’ support.
Total Acquisition Cost (TAC) is another key principle of our supply chain approach, particularly when designing high volume supply chains supporting civil programmes. RLC has worked in partnership with a number of key customers to develop TAC supply chain models in order to deliver the lowest cost supply chain solution. TAC models, if developed correctly, identify the real cost drivers within the customer and supply chain partnership.
Product and Customer orientated cells, along with flexibility to adapt our systems and processes ensure that we are focused on meeting the demands of the customer, throughout their product life cycles. As a group we continue to invest in the latest machinery and IT systems enabling us to deliver quality products in an efficient and cost effective way.
Modern Quality Management systems and inventory control models are utilised, with a strong emphasis on training to support our manufacturing capabilities.
