Manufacturing Machined Components for DOD

Intrex Aerospace has long provided precision machined parts for military applications. We have an experienced staff that understands what it takes to provide manufacturing machined components for DOD applications. Intrex has the knowledge and systems expertise to oversee the successful implementation of military applications.

We can provide machined components for DOD applications with the accompanying certification and documentation necessary for most government requirements. Our modern 75,000 sq. ft. facility, with state-of-the-art equipment, is ISO 9001, AS 9100 certified and ITAR registered. We can provide a wholly integrated single-source machining solution for commercial and military applications.

What is ITAR?

One of the requirements for providing most DOD work is that you are ITAR compliant. A short definition for ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) is a “United States regulatory regime to restrict and control the export of defense and military-related technologies to safeguard U.S. national security and further U.S. foreign policy objective.”

One of the requirements for ITAR is that your company must be able to track ITAR data at all times. They must also know what data is being protected under ITAR, where it is located, and who has access to it.

Why register with ITAR?

ITAR requires that any defense manufacturing company that furnishes defense services keeps its registration current with the Department of State, which maintains the goal of safeguarding national security and furthering foreign policy objectives. ITAR compliance ensures data protection of sensitive government information and mitigates the risk of any non-compliance with regulations or civil fines.

What are the benefits of ITAR?

Can a non-US citizen work on ITAR?

The answer is No unless the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls has obtained an appropriate export license. One exception would be Green card permanent residents do qualify as a US person even though they are citizens. The International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) mandates that access to physical materials or technical data related to defense and military technologies are restricted to US persons only.

Intrex Aerospace offers a complete program management service for manufacturing machined components for DOD. This service goes beyond supplying and providing machined parts. We have integrated our program management services into our ERP/MRP system. We can monitor and manage all facets of the manufacturing process, from sourcing raw materials to shipping out our door. Everything is monitored and documented.

We have an experienced, trained staff to support the most demanding requirements of our supply chain partners. Customer input and communication are constant.

Our ISO 9001:2000, AS9100 certifications, and ITAR registration testify to our commitment to providing our customers with the most efficient, professional, and dedicated service.

Our robust Epicor ERP/MRP systems software oversees our entire manufacturing process. We monitor all phases of the shop-floor flow. Frequently we can make manufacturing schedule decisions to meet our customer delivery requirements when allowed access to their forecasting portal. Our system controls all facets of our manufacturing process:

• Sourcing raw material
• Forecasting monitoring of our supplier portals
• Part scheduling
• Provide Engineering support
• FAI’s
• Kanban Pull Systems
• Recognition and response to AOG’s
• DX/DO requirements
• Special process scheduling/management
• Quality assurance & reporting/documentation
• Packaging & Shipment

Because of the efficiencies gained by utilizing our program management system, we have consistently achieved OTDs of 98%+ and PPMs of <75. Also, with the systems controls we have implemented, we can monitor and increase quality while maintaining or reducing overall costs.
