Performance Review Institute
SAE Matters to the global aerospace industry with
its support of the Performance Review Institute,
which provides optimum service to its customers
from its international headquarters in Pittsburgh,
Pa., and with branch offices in London, Beijing,
Singapore and Aichi, Japan.
Through its flagship Nadcap Program, the
Performance Review Institute has conducted more
than 37,000 special process and product audits on
behalf of the 53 subscribing prime contractors and
governments around the world. As a result, more
than 3,000 accredited suppliers of special processes
and products are listed on the Nadcap Qualified
Manufacturers List. The key benefits of Nadcap
accreditation for the global aerospace supply chain
are continuous improvements in quality, as well as
time and cost savings from a reduction in on-site
customer audits.
In addition to the Nadcap Program, the Performance
Review Institute serves as a registrar for ISO9001
and AS9100, and offers a wide variety of professional
development courses related to special processes
and quality systems.
In 2012, PRI conducted more than 5,000 audits and
generated more than $31 million in revenue. For the
first time, the Nadcap program secured participation
from primes in South America and Asia, and improved
supplier perception of the Performance Review
Institute resulted in greater industry acceptance
of the program, especially in France, Germany and
Russia. The Performance Review Institute continues
constructive discussions with the rail transportation,
medical device and nuclear industries to determine if
a Nadcap-like program can benefit those industries.
With an emphasis on improving global service,
the Performance Review Institute has continued
to conduct symposia and accepted invitations
to speak at industry events in Europe and Asia,
helping primes and suppliers better understand
the value of the Nadcap Program. Working to
strengthen relationships with national and trade
associations in those regions has been key to
educating the industry.
The redevelopment of the Performance Review
Institute website into nine languages and the
continued focus on sourcing multi-lingual staff and
contractors has supported international customers
and improved the perception of the Performance
Review Institute as an international, customerfocused
organization.
