Aerospace + defense terminology map

Shared language

Serialized part

Supply chain

Individually tracked component with a unique identifier and custody history.

FAI (First Article Inspection)

Quality

Initial inspection evidence proving a part meets design requirements.

Engineering change order (ECO)

Engineering

Controlled change request with impact assessment and approvals.

Nonconformance

Quality

Documented deviation from requirements requiring disposition.

MRO work order

Depot services

Maintenance, repair, and overhaul workflow tied to inspection evidence.

Workflow

From build record to MRO completion

How serialized parts, inspections, and approvals stay traceable.

Step 1

Register serialized configurations

Capture build records, configuration baselines, and custody history.

Step 2

Run inspections and FAI

Enforce inspection gates and record evidence against approved requirements.

Step 3

Manage engineering change

Route ECO approvals with impact assessments and verification requirements.

Step 4

Execute MRO workflows

Coordinate repairs, replacements, and inspections with audit-ready logs.

Step 5

Publish audit packs

Compile serialized histories and inspection evidence for compliance reviews.
