Specific Initiatives
An aerospace equipment re-seller acquired a spare parts supply firm, along with a huge unclassified inventory, from a major airplane manufacturer. With urgent overseas orders pending but zero on-staff engineering expertise, they asked CTP engineers to plan and manage a large scale classification project involving 45,000 parts in 52 categories.
A mid-size electronics company was planning its IPO (Initial Public Offering) and wanted to ensure that it wouldn’t have a public relations fiasco stemming from a potential export control violation. Their compliance officer researched five companies and selected CTP to perform a complete compliance audit. CTP worked on-site at all locations and provided a comprehensive assessment of both their methods (various experts, policies & procedures) and their results (vis a vis government compliance requirements.) Our extensive report provided a numerical rating on both the methods and results, along with accompanying risk factors. It also contains prioritized recommendations for improvement in each department and category.
A large oil tools company needed immediate technical training so that its engineers could self-classify a huge number of new parts, products, components and technologies. CTP experts were asked to customize and deliver on-site training workshops at two domestic locations, eliminating the cost and disruption of extensive employee travel and promoting discussion of real-time technical/compliance challenges by attending engineers.
After a small microprocessor company developed two new chips with specific technical capabilities, they engaged CTP with a small, specific task to write technical arguments for the least restrictive commodity jurisdiction/ classification ruling.
