As companies like Airbus continue to expand their production operations in places like Mobile, Ala., the pressure to find a qualified workforce to support this growth becomes more and more challenging. These companies often turn to AAA United States Inc., to help augment their workforce to keep their production lines running smoothly and efficiently.
AAA USA, part of the Drakkar and Daher family of companies, is an aerospace, ground transportation, industrial and marine company, centered around productization and industrialization services to OEMS and Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. AAA USA is based in Mobile and offers clients on- and off-site production, sub-contract assembly, project managed solutions and workforce solutions. AAA USA is now in 19 states and 28 cities across the United States.
Manufacturers turn to AAA USA when production is behind, or when they need more workers to satisfy customer orders or want to hire engineers with the technical skills needed for a specific project.
“We’ll go in and send in teams quickly, and they’ll help to get our customers backlog down so that their production lines get caught up,” AAA USA COO Perry Rucker says.
AAA USA works by offering contingent labor and project management services for clients like Airbus, Novabus, Volvo, Volkswagen, PSM and other OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and maintenance and repair center operators.
On the contingent labor side, AAA USA provides clients with highly skilled, certified and experienced assembly line workers, repair technicians, machine operators, quality control inspectors, and other experts for land, aerospace and marine craft-related production and maintenance.
And to keep clients’ costs low and production high, AAA USA services also include supply chain support. Its supply chain experts have the experience and knowledge necessary to help their customers’ vendors overcome labor and quality issues, often allowing them to get back on track to deliver their parts to the OEMs.
Robust processes and procedures are key to AAA USA’s successes. AAA USA has a complete certified Quality Management System (QMS) which is used to de-risk programs, catch defects and errors and ensure quality results, making sure all projects and assembled products meet industry and client standards.
In fact, AAA USA’s quality management system has an approved EN/AS/JISQ 9100 and ISO 9001 certification.
AAA USA also maintains a team of qualified engineers with the capabilities to offer clients full product lifecycle support, including product design, prototyping, production, testing and validation at all stages of a customer’s product.
Furthermore, AAA USA engineers can help companies formulate production flows and develop more efficient production and repair processes.
And for companies needing to ensure their projects are completed on time and within the budget, AAA USA maintains a talented team of professional project managers, experts who can plan, manage and monitor projects, allocate resources, and implement quality control measures.
To do that, AAA USA project managers use the latest tools and software to oversee production, contract assembly, manufacturing engineering, logistics and more to meet key performance metrics and bring even the most complex projects to completion, successfully, on budget and on time.
AAA USA’s project managers, in fact, are known for giving clients crucial insights on how to enhance and improve processes and plans and organize and execute effective aftermarket programs.
For the aerospace industry in particular, AAA USA services include production and manufacturing, manufacturing engineering and industrialization services, quality conformance management and quality inspection services, final assembly integration and flight line services.
And whenever clients request off-site workforce solutions, AAA USA delivers through its own state-of-the-art operations facility in Mobile. There, AAA USA workers can assemble products for clients quickly and accurately.
Besides its in-house assembly facility, AAA USA in Mobile is home to the AAA Academy, a state-of-the-art training facility where the company equips its assemblers, project managers and engineers with specialized instruction to ensure they possess the skills to meet the specific needs of every client. The program has been so successful that AAA USA is investing nearly $1 million in a newly expanded training facility.
The AAA USA training courses include electrical and electronic manufacturing trades; electrical and electronic troubleshooting; practical drilling; cutting; sheet metal; composite layup; trimming; quality inspection, QMS training; and OSHA certified safety programs.
“We’re OSHA certified for our customers. So, if they want someone with forklift skills or they’re going to be working on lifts or ladders, we have that training in our training facility and can provide them with someone with those certifications,” Rucker says.
The training courses also include supervisor management training, soft skills as well as customer-specific training requirements.
AAA USA is also very involved in its local and state communities, supporting workforce development programs with the Chamber of Mobile, local Mobile area middle and high schools, local and state universities and local charities, Rucker says.
“Alabama and Mobile are home, says Rucker, “and supporting both our community and neighbors is crucial to our success.”
