Why AS 9100, AS 9110 and AS 9120 are important
Within the aviation, space and defence (ASD) industry, maintaining high safety levels is a principal challenge. Even the smallest flaws in products or services can have fatal consequences. This has created high expectations for quality, safety and reliability of parts, systems and services, which your company must achieve across the entire ASD supply chain.
The AS 9100, AS 9110 and AS 9120 series of standards is fast becoming a requirement for all major aerospace manufacturers. Global airplane manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus, Rolls Royce and Pratt & Whitney view the series as a key factor during the selection and evaluation of suppliers. Every organisation working in the ASD industry must therefore demonstrate its commitment to quality and reliability.
The adoption of this quality management system allows you to commit to a long-term goal. To achieve it, your decision-makers will have to consider the strategy and direction of the company, the measures to identify and minimise risks, and standards compliance.
Beyond gaining a competitive advantage and global recognition, certified suppliers achieve a significant improvement in quality and safety while reducing value stream costs. They also reap business benefits from the enhanced processes and achieve continual improvement.
