AS9100: Training Your Internal Auditors

AS9100 is a Quality Management System (QMS) standard specifically designed for the aerospace industry. Understanding and implementing AS9100 is crucial for aerospace manufacturers aiming to maintain a competitive edge and achieve excellence in their operations.  It ensures companies provide products that meet customer and regulatory requirements, enhance safety, reliability, and quality and emphasizes risk management, requiring organizations to identify, assess, and mitigate risks throughout the product lifecycle. The standard also focuses on continual improvement, encouraging companies to enhance their processes and customer satisfaction.

An internal auditor plays a crucial role in upholding AS9100 compliance. This position involves systematically reviewing and assessing the QMS, pinpointing areas for enhancement and ensuring that processes align with the standard. By doing so, organizations can proactively resolve issues, boost operational efficiency, and sustain high-quality standards.

NWIRC’s next AS9100 Internal Auditor training is scheduled for March 5-7 in Meadville. Find details at www.nwirc.org/events.
