AS9100 Quality Management System
AS9100 Quality Management System
AS9100 is the aerospace industry’s international quality management system (QMS) standard. It provides a system for ensuring that suppliers produce reliable and safe products in compliance with civil and military aviation demands. Due to the “high-risk” nature of the industry, aerospace and defense manufacturers and their suppliers must follow complex contractual requirements and rules like AS9100. Regarding getting parts and materials, almost all aircraft manufacturers insist that their suppliers have AS9100 certification.
There is no room for error in the design or construction of an airplane or other complex aerospace equipment. Flaws in the manufacturing process can result in dangerous or profoundly flawed aircraft and aviation gear. This can be avoided if the aerospace industry sticks to its documented, tried-and-true procedures. Businesses that adhere to ISO 9001 may find it simple and faster to implement AS9100 systems.
