Hyde Aero Products Accelerates Aero Excellence™️ through connected daily management with Fabriq
Hyde Aero Products, a leading UK aerospace manufacturer, supports customers across complex, high-precision industrial environments. As the business expanded its digital and continuous improvement initiatives and progressed its SC21 and Aero Excellence journey, teams faced challenges in turning operational data into action, standardizing daily management across sites, and improving communication between the shop floor and leadership. Hyde Aero Products turned to Fabriq to connect its SQCDP routines, actions, escalations, and improvement processes in one place. Fabriq helps Hyde Aero Products standardize operational practices, share best practices across sites, and drive continuous improvement from the shop floor to board level.

Beyond Power BI, Excel, and paper SQCDP boards: Turning Aero Excellence performance data into action
Operational data existed, but actions, accountability, and standardization were missing. Before Fabriq, Hyde Aero Products relied on Power BI, Excel, paper-based routines, and manual SQCDP boards. While these tools provided visibility into performance, they didn’t help teams collaborate around issues or consistently track actions to completion. Processes varied between sites, communication depended on manual follow-up, and valuable operational knowledge was difficult to share across the group.
- Power BI showed performance but not the actions needed to improve it
- Manual boards and paper processes offered no history, traceability, or escalation
- Different sites followed different dashboards and operating standards
- Communication between shop floor teams and management lacked visibility
How Hyde Aero Products digitized daily management (routines, actions, and escalations) with Fabriq
Hyde Aero Products implemented Fabriq as the operational layer connecting performance data with daily execution. The company standardized SQCDP dashboards across its sites, digitized routines, centralized action management, and introduced live escalation from the shop floor to leadership. Fabriq became the execution layer for Aero Excellence, linking performance, routines, and actions in one system. Rather than simply digitizing existing processes, each workflow was redesigned to make it simpler, more collaborative, and easier to improve over time.
- Standardized SQCDP dashboards across the entire group
- Centralized actions, tickets, routines, and escalation in one platform
- Supported Aero Excellence and SC21 requirements with one digital system
- Enabled best practices to be shared and replicated across multiple sites
Standardizing Operational Excellence across 9 manufacturing sites
Hyde Aero Products introduced Fabriq gradually, beginning with digital routines and events before expanding into tickets, action tracking, project management, and continuous improvement. Because teams started with processes they already performed every day, adoption was quick and resistance remained low. Today, routines, tickets, shift handovers, quality workflows, safety checks, and improvement ideas all run through Fabriq, giving every employee visibility into progress while making accountability part of daily operations.
- Daily routines and events became the fastest-adopted features
- Improvement ideas, quality issues, and material requests are now tracked end-to-end
- Teams close actions faster, communicate more effectively, and continuously improve operational processes
William Farrow
Systems Improvement Engineer
“We now have near enough fully standardized dashboards across our entire group. Anyone can walk into a site and immediately understand what’s happening. If something is red, we can see there’s an action for it and who’s handling it.”
Paul Mellor
Technical Director
“We were typically running manual SQCDP boards around our shop floors and they’re very static. There’s no trace, there’s no history, there’s no escalation. We were looking for something to capture data from the shop floor right up to board level and all levels in between.”
Chris Lannigan
Business Development Director
“Power BI showed us what was happening. What Fabriq gives us is the ‘so what?’ We’re definitely closing actions quicker than we were. Fabriq has Improved the flow of information and I would say that we have increased our productivity.”
Nathan Williams
Continuous Improvement Manager
“Fabriq supports our continuous improvement objectives by aligning them with the Aero Excellence Framework and the SC21 framework. Fabriq is just that one house to bring it all together.”
