Given the aviation, space, and defense industry’s challenges and complexities, AS9100 certification enables organizations and suppliers to standardize quality management system requirements at all levels of the supply chain. Companies seeking certification understand the need for a quality management system that enables them to standardize QMS requirements in order to produce and continually improve safe, reliable products to meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. We understand that:
Implementing and maintaining a cost efficient quality management system and managing suppliers throughout the supply chain remain a major challenge.
Integration of AS9100 requirements with regulatory requirements and the newly released ISO 9001:2015 is essential.
Inefficient documentation that lacks security and control will negativity impact your quality management system.
Your Competitive Advantage
There are clear, empirical competitive advantages for manufacturing companies that implement the AS9100 standard for their quality management:
A Requirement – Most of the major aircraft engine manufacturers require their suppliers to be certified to AS9100.
