In the initial phase implementation is focused upon three key streams:

• Accreditation - SC21 companies will work together to improve quality performance and thus reduce the number of duplicated quality interventions, in particular by adopting common standards such as AS/EN 91XX and Nadcap and fostering continuous sustainable best practices across the aerospace and defence supply chains.
• Development and Performance - SC21 companies are committed to achieving common industry development and performance plans which are derived from a common diagnostic framework. They are also committed to working together with suppliers to implement common, shared improvement plans. Common metrics and a recognition mechanism will be deployed across industry to more effectively benchmark and monitor supply chain.
• Relationships - SC21 companies recognise that sustained success in our industry requires inter company communication that promotes working together with openess, honesty, integrity and trust. They subscribe to the Supply Chain Relationships in Action (SCRIA) code of practice to improve supply chain performance and reduce risk.
