Overview of the ASCE Programme
Building a World Competitive Supply Chain in the North West of England
Launched at Farnborough in 2006, backed by £4.2 million of regional government funding from the North West Regional Development Agency (NWDA), and in-kind contribution and support from AIRBUS UK, BAE SYSTEMS and Rolls-Royce PLC, the ASCE programme is the first coordinated approach to supplier development in the UK Aerospace Industry.
The ASCE Programme provides businesses with the tools and techniques to improve their capability across 11 key areas.
A Mentor from one of the three Primes is allocated to work with the company over a period of up to three years to identify ways in which the company can develop itself. The companies on the ASCE Programme have access to specifically targeted training programmes to cover specific business areas, and expert coaching to assist the implementation of the improvements into the business.
The benefits your company can take from joining the ASCE Programme are:
Improvements in your people
Improvement in your capability (good practise)
Improvement in your performance (Quality and Delivery)
Improvement in your business (new work)
