All manufacturing processes involve the flow of two important components: materials and information. The production scheduling, parts traceability and quality non-conformities are kept and permanently recorded at the Phosphoric Acid Anodizing area in one of the plants of a small and medium-sized aircrafts’ company in the US. The information flow within this area is a key point in the sustainability and quality of the manufacturing process. The objective of the present study was to analyze the relationship between the quantity of produced orders and the fidelity and quality of the manufacturing records among the different Production control systems used in the manufacturing plant. The study was mixed, applied, non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional. The independent variable was the quantity of production orders released to the Phosphoric Acid Anodizing area, while the dependent variable was the quantity of quality non-conformances found in the different Production control systems. By analyzing a probabilistic sample of 3,079 production orders, it was proven that the records kept in the different control systems are not related between them. Nonetheless, it was proven that there is a correlation between the fluctuation of the quantity of released production orders and the quantity of quality non-conformances recorded in the control systems.
