Shanghai Aviation Industrial (Group) Co., Ltd. (SAIC) is the core of Shanghai Aviation Industrial Group of China. SAIC is a state owned company of limited liability invested and established by China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC??). Among the subordinate enterprises of SAIC there are Shanghai Aircraft Manufacture Factory, Shanghai Aircraft Research Institute, Shanghai Aeroengine Manufacture Factory and Shanghai International Aero-Technology Trade Company. With regard to Shanghai Aircraft Manufacture Factory, Shanghai Aeroengine Manufacture Factory and Shanghai International Aero-Technology Trade Company, SAIC implements an administrative regime of parent-subsidiary form according to the system and mechanism for the management, monitor and operation of state asset.
SAIC was taken shape and evolved through the development of large commercial aircraft. In 1970s we have independently researched and manufactured Y-10 large commercial aircraft, and its trial flights were successfully carried out in early 1980s. In 1985, SAIC began to co-produce MD-80 serial aircraft with former McDonnell Douglas Corp. of the United States. Up to 1994, totaled 35 ships of MD-82/MD-83 have been satisfactory completed, among them, the 5 ships of MD-83 were sold back to America. At the same time, SAIC's offset production of aviation parts has also been quickly developed, up to the August 1999, we have delivered 3819 sets of MD-82's and MD-90's horizontal stabilizer, landing gear door, service door and so on to Boeing??s Long Beach Division of the United States. For the nose landing gear door, main landing gear door, after service door, inner flap support and MD-80's horizontal stabilizer, SAIC is the unique supplier. In the cooperation, SAIC has successfully introduced and implemented advanced foreign management experience, established process management system and the complete quality assurance system according to FAR's requirements, which make our work be specilization, standardization, processization and systematization, and ensure the quality of the produced aircraft.
According to AVIC I's arrangement, SAIC is co-producing two ships of MD-90 with Boeing's Long Beach Division at present. The trial flight of the first ship has already been completed. The second ship is being finally assembled. In the new round of cooperation, XAC, CAC, SAC and SAIC undertake together 70% of airframe manufacture work-share, SAIC is the main manufacture of Trunkliner MD-90 and responsible for the aircraft final assembly and the management and control of the three suppliers XAC, CAC, SAC. So, SAIC has established supplier management and control system according to FAA's requirements. The offset production of aviation parts has also been further expanded. SAIC has obtained the contract for producing 1,500 sets of B737-700's horizontal stabilizer and already delivered two sets of the horizontal stabilizer to Boeing. The quality assurance system has been approved for Boeing's D1-9000 advanced quality system.
