VERTICAL · PRECISION ENGINEERING

Quality management built for machined components.

Track the supplier metrics that matter for machined parts — from incoming inspection to NCR closure. Built for CNC, fabrication, and sheet-metal SMEs.

CHALLENGES

What precision engineering quality teams wrestle with.

Dimensional non-conformances

Parts arriving out of spec cost time and money. Tracking which suppliers have repeat issues helps you make better sourcing decisions.

Material certifications

Missing or incorrect material certs create audit risk. You need a system that tracks which suppliers consistently provide proper documentation.

Delivery performance

Late deliveries disrupt your production schedule. Objective data helps you have productive conversations with suppliers about improvement.

HOW BUTTRESS HELPS

Built to address the precision engineering reality.

Incoming inspection

Mobile-first inspection at the loading bay. AQL sampling plans, dimensional checks, and instant NCR creation when parts fail. Photos and measurements captured on site.

Supplier scorecards

Automated quality, delivery, and cost metrics by supplier. Share PDF scorecards with suppliers to drive improvement, and watch trends over time.

NCR management

Track non-conformances from discovery to resolution. Assign containment actions, document root cause, and verify corrective actions are effective.

Audit-ready evidence

Generate ISO 9001:2015 Clause 8.4 evidence packages with one click. Immutable audit trail shows exactly what happened and when.

PRECISION ENGINEERING QUALITY ROI

Every out-of-spec part costs money — in rework, scrap, late deliveries, and customer relationships.

£48k–£100k
Typical annual COPQ. Cost of poor quality for a typical 50-person precision engineering company.
1–2 months
Payback period. Buttress typically pays for itself within the first billing cycle.
25%
Admin time saved. Less time on paperwork means more time on production.
