Incorporating AS13100 into your Quality Management System
AS13100 is intended to simplify supplier quality requirements by harmonizing about 60% of these four-engine manufacturer’s supplier requirements. There is an industry desire to have the first-tier suppliers in compliance by the end of 2022, and all of the aero engine makers have communicated the requirements and timeline to their suppliers.
Note: AS13100 is not a certification! It’s a compliance requirement with evidence through an annual self-assessment. Certification bodies will not provide a quote for AS13100 certification.
Let Us Perform Your Internal Audit
SimpleQuE’s aerospace quality experts are here to help and have already helped some engine parts suppliers to:
- Conduct gap assessments to AS13100 and AS9145 to determine what needs to change from existing systems, processes and documentation,
- Complete the annual self-assessment using the RM13009 checklist,
- Implement APQP and PPAP,
- Train and facilitate proper and effective implementation of Process Flow Diagrams, Design FMEAs (DFMEA), Process FMEAs (PFMEA), Control Plans, Gauge R&R’s (variable and attribute), MSA plans, SPC, etc.
