Create one 'defence-ready supplier passport' for civil heavy-industry Tier-2 suppliers: a single audit (ISO 9001 / ISO 3834 / AQAP 2110, traceability) recognised by all participating German and Baltic primes, plus a shared register of qualified metalworking capacity (foundry, forging, heat treatment, machining, welding).

THE CHALLENGE

Qualification, not capability, is the entry barrier: each prime audits separately, so sub-tier capacity qualifies more slowly than demand grows.

PROPOSED ACTION

Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.

RESPONSIBLE STAKEHOLDERS

Primes / large Defence Companies

TIMELINE

12 months

TARGET

At least 5 Baltic Tier-2 suppliers hold the passport and at least 3 primes recognise it; audit duration/costs per supplier cut by at least 30%.
