The Aviation, Space and Defense (ASD) businesses are experiencing significant growth and are expected to continue to do so globally. Given the crucial nature of these businesses, it is important to maintain a high level of quality in all aspects. This will help with significant enhancements in quality and cost reduction throughout the value stream. To meet the requirements of both national and international ASD companies, all links in the supply chain must implement the standard's requirements and be certified by a third-party certification body. This ensures a standardized Quality System structure that meets the needs of customers worldwide. The primary objective of this approach is to continuously improve supplier performance, particularly in the areas of product quality and on-time deliveries. Certification also enables suppliers to stay up-to-date with emerging standards requirements and directly impact the quality of their customers' products and services.The training is imparted in-line with the AS 9100 standards giving some references to the allied standards viz., AS 9104/AS 9101D/ISO 19011 for understanding.
