A conductive sleeved fastener assembly includes an electrically-conductive fastener having a fastener head and a fastener shank extending from the fastener head and an electrically-conductive fastener sleeve receiving the fastener shank of the fastener and a fastener sleeve flange provided on the fastener sleeve and disposed in direct contact with the fastener head of the fastener. A method of preparing a conductive sleeved fastener for use is also disclosed.

An automated filler production method includes obtaining gap measurement data by measuring a gap between component parts of a structure, delivering the gap measurement data to a data collector function, monitoring incoming filler requirements, updating solid model definitions of the filler, creating portable Machine Control Data (MCD) using the gap measurement data in the form of the updated solid model, delivering the MCD to a filler machining center and machining a filler from a filler substrate using the MCD, while providing status updates as the data progresses through the filler machining process.
