T | Technical Build-To-Print Execution

High-mix, low-volume manufacturing support backed by controlled technical data, producibility review, configuration management, inspection and qualification.

Backed by decades of mechanical manufacturing and engineering experience, our team is equipped to manufacture difficult, complex parts and materials.

Capabilities include:

Build-to-print components and assemblies

Precision machining, welding, fabrication and assembly

Cable and wiring-harness manufacturing

Technical-baseline development

Producibility assessment

First-article, inspection and acceptance support

A | Aging Platform Sustainment and Obsolescence Resolution

Resolve DMSMS, obsolete materials and processes, unavailable sources, recurring failures and repair constraints affecting fielded systems.

Parts Life applies R.O.P.E.® and the 5R® methodology to determine the appropriate response: reverse engineer, replicate, repair, remanufacture or recertify.

Capabilities include:

DMSMS and obsolescence analysis

Authorized reverse engineering

Technical-data recovery and modernization

Material characterization and functional analysis

Consumable and repairable sustainment

SAR and alternate-source qualification support

I | Industrial Transition Partnership & Supply Continuity

A controlled transition path for mature, intermittent and low-volume requirements that no longer align with a prime contractor’s internal capacity, production structure or economic model.

Parts Life helps preserve configuration management, production knowledge and supply continuity while maintaining prime and government visibility.

Capabilities include:

Legacy workload transition planning

Authorized technical-data transfer

Tooling and process transfer

Production-knowledge preservation

Supplier and production controls

Intermittent-demand production planning

L | Lifecycle Support Accelerated

Parts Life brings engineering and sustainment capability closer to the point of need through the Prototype Integration Facility and deployable EEPIC laboratory.

On-site technical evaluation and data capture reduce transportation requirements, chain-of-custody transfers, scheduling delays and time critical assets are removed from operational use.

Capabilities include:

Prototype development and testing

Rapid short-run manufacturing

Deployable EEPIC reverse-engineering support

On-site dimensional inspection and data capture

Fielded-configuration validation

Point-of-need engineering support
