Benefits of certification to the AS9100 standard

What are they?

The aircraft and aerospace industries are quickly embracing AS9100 as a means of improving quality and on-time delivery within their supply chain. Public demand for safety and reliability drives the need for product quality to approach near perfection. The only way to work towards perfection is to work through continuous improvement. Quality management systems in conjunction with third party audits are integral to continuous improvement.

Certification to the AS9100 standard provides:

  • Qualification to be considered as an aerospace supplier
  • Consistent product quality
  • Public recognition
  • Internal validation
  • Independent feedback to foster continual improvement

Most of the major aircraft engine manufacturers, such as General Electric's Aircraft Engine division (GEAE), Boeing, Rolls-Royce Allison and Pratt & Whitney, are requiring their suppliers to be certified to AS9100.
