Aerospace Supply Chain (ASCE) Development ASCE 1 is based on the development of individual companies within a cluster a supplier development programme ASCE 1 has defined the shape of the industry in the North West (the tiering structure) and has developed the foundations of common culture, language and processes. ASCE 2 recognises the need to create a close coupled, knowledge based cluster, integrating companies and support infrastructure - the supercluster

Benchmarking Learner to World Class The NWAA has developed a 5 Step model (Learner to World Class) for Supplier development. The model describes the characteristics and capabilities expected of companies for each step from Learner to Developer to Performer to Contender and finally to World Class for each of the 11 foundation processes.
