Program Qualification, Quality Audits
and Witness Testing
Unitron welcomes customer, program, and project qualification activities at our Dallas, Texas manufacturing facility. For aerospace, defense, OEM, MRO, test-lab, and government infrastructure programs, Unitron supports structured facility visits, quality system reviews, source inspections, factory acceptance testing, and customer-witnessed test events.
Our team regularly works with customers, prime contractors, engineering firms, and government representatives to support qualification of Unitron ground power and frequency conversion equipment for mission-critical applications. These activities may include review of manufacturing processes, quality documentation, inspection practices, test procedures, product configuration, compliance requirements, and project-specific submittal packages.
Unitron encourages early engagement when a program, contract, facility design, or aircraft support requirement calls for documented supplier qualification, factory testing, or witnessed performance verification. Hosting these activities at our Dallas facility allows customers to evaluate Unitron’s engineering, production, quality, and test capabilities directly before equipment is released for field installation or operational use.
Typical qualification and review activities may include:
- Program or project supplier qualification visits
- Quality system and manufacturing process reviews
- Customer and government source inspections
- Factory Acceptance Testing
- Customer-witnessed and third-party-witnessed testing
