Traceability and Compliance Built Into the System

Configuration control, contract compliance, and full genealogy traceability, configured natively on Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O around how your program actually runs — not squeezed into a generic manufacturing template.

BUILT ON DYNAMICS 365 F&O

Configured to your production model — not squeezed into someone else's template

CEM doesn’t sell a one-size-fits-all manufacturing product. We build directly on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, configured around how your plant actually runs — discrete or process, single-site or multi-entity — instead of forcing your workflow into a rigid, pre-packaged ISV add-on.

Native D365 F&O, not a bolt-on

No third-party layer to license, patch, or outgrow — your solution stays inside Microsoft's core platform and roadmap.

The Four Pillars of A&D Manufacturing success

Full Configuration & Genealogy Control

Track every part, revision, and serial number from raw material to final assembly — the traceability a program audit or recall demands.

Contract & Cost Compliance

Structure cost accounting to align with government and prime contractor requirements, including earned value and cost-type contract reporting.

Multi-tier Supply Chain Visibility

Track subcontractor and supplier compliance across every tier, not just your direct vendors.

Data Segregation & Access Control

Configure access and data handling to match program-specific security and export control requirements.

KEY BENEFITS

1
Configuration & Revision Control

Manage engineering change orders and revision history without losing traceability back to as-built configuration.

2
Lot, Serial & Genealogy Tracking

Full forward and backward traceability for every component, critical for recalls, audits, and warranty claims.

3
Multi-site, Multi-program Consolidation

Roll up cost and production data across every facility and program without a manual consolidation process.

4
Government Contract Cost Accounting

Support cost-type, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contract structures with the reporting rigor government audits require.

5
Copilot-Enabled Reporting

Microsoft Copilot and AI are built directly into D365, giving CEOs real-time visibility into production, costs, risks, and performance to make faster, smarter business decisions.

6
Quality & Non-Conformance Management

Document deviations, corrective actions, and inspections to the standard your prime contractor or regulator expects.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can Dynamics 365 handle configuration control for aerospace and defense manufacturing?

Yes. Engineering change orders, revision history, and as-built configuration tracking are natively supported in D365 F&O, so every part and assembly remains traceable to its exact revision and specification.

Q: Does this support government contract cost accounting requirements?

Yes. Cost-type, fixed-price, and time-and-materials contract structures can all be configured to meet the reporting and audit requirements common to government and prime contractor work, including earned value management.

Q: How does lot and serial traceability work for aerospace and defense parts?

Every component is tracked with full forward and backward genealogy — from raw material and supplier lot through final assembly and shipment — supporting recall response, warranty claims, and program audits.

Q: Can the system support export control and data segregation requirements?

Access controls and data handling are configured for each program to meet specific security and export control requirements, rather than relying on a single generic permission structure across the business.

Q: How long does implementation take for an aerospace or defense manufacturer?

Timelines depend on program complexity, number of sites, and compliance requirements. CEM has completed 350+ Dynamics 365 implementations across manufacturing and construction in 19 countries; your specific timeline is scoped during a discovery call.
