ISO Joe's Train the Trainer Series: Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defense Organizations; AS9100C Quality Management System

AS9100C (AS 9100C) is a new quality system standard that has been drafted by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to include the complete text of ISO 9001:2008, as well as new definitions and notes in response to stakeholder needs for aviation, space and defense organizations.

To guarantee customer satisfaction, these organizations must produce safe and reliable products that meet or exceed customer expectations and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, such as ISO 9001:2008. The globalization of these industries, coupled with diversity of regional and national requirements, has complicated this objective. As such, these organizations are becoming increasingly challenged when it comes to purchasing products from their global supplier bases. On the flip side, these supplier bases face many difficulties associated with delivering products to multiple customers, each with varying quality standards. This is why the IAQG has developed AS9100C.

ISO Joe's Train the Trainer Leader's Guide for ISO 9001:2008/AS9100C will outline how the changes to the ISO 9001:2008 quality management system affect AS9100C, and how the expansion of Risk Analysis, Special Requirements, Critical Items, Key Characteristics, Project Management, Risk Management and Configuration Management within AS9100C can impact organizational training 21st Century business practices.
