Deltek TIPSFE is shop floor execution software designed for aerospace and defense manufacturers. It digitizes work instructions, inspections, and nonconformances — connecting shop floor activity directly to your quality management system. The result is a paperless, traceable production environment built for regulated industries.
Traditional manufacturing execution systems handle production scheduling and tracking — but quality is typically managed elsewhere. TIPSFE embeds quality directly into shop floor execution through its integration with TIPQA, so nonconformances, inspections, and traceability data are captured in real time without a separate system.
TIPSFE is licensed as a separate module but requires core TIPQA functionality to operate. Together, they connect quality management with shop floor execution in a single system.
TIPSFE connects with leading ERP platforms — including Costpoint, SAP, and Oracle — through its integration with TIPQA. This brings production, quality, and program data into a single system, eliminating the need to reconcile data across separate platforms.
