For Aerocet Incorporated this year's annual parts manufacturing authorization (PMA) audit, conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration in late March, went smoother than past audits thanks to the company's recent installation of Component Control's Quantum Control Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. "Using Quantum Control as the core of our ERP system eased the FAA audit burden" said Garry Hojan, parts manager for Aerocet Incorporated.

One of the world's few FAA approved composite aircraft float manufacturers, Aerocet has been producing floats since 1994 and installed Quantum Control in June 2004. "The FAA seemed very impressed with the increased traceability provided by Quantum Control's manufacturing and inventory modules, and the positive effect that the software had on our quality system."

Aerocet currently employs 35 people in the Priest River, Idaho, area but plans to double that number by the end of 2006 to meet increasing demand.

"One of the reasons we purchased Quantum Control was that we needed a system that could handle our growing business," Hojan said. "We looked at other systems, but Quantum Control provided the best value for the price."

A fully integrated business software solution that promotes industry best practices, Quantum Control combines manufacturing, aircraft maintenance/repair/overhaul (MRO), inventory management, accounting, e-commerce, sales, and contact management, and other business functions into one central database. More than 700 customers in 32 countries currently use Quantum Control to manage their aviation operations. Based in San Diego, California, Component Control is a leading developer and provider of aviation management software solutions. In addition to it's core product, Quantum Control, the company also licenses Internet Quantum (IQ) e-commerce technology and a Quantum e-commerce suite directly to parts distributors, aviation suppliers, fleet operators, and repair facilities worldwide.
