Applying AS9100 Rev D: The Hassle-Free Approach to Implementing an Aerospace QMS for Small Businesses

Mark Hammar is an experienced Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence through the American Society for Quality. He has written this book to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for AS9100 implementation, written in plain language, which can be understood by beginners with no prior knowledge of the standard. The main goal of the book is to provide a systematic picture of what AS9100 Rev D is all about, and how to make sure you didn’t forget something in your implementation. This book will explain how to use AS9100 Rev D as a framework, and to become fully compliant with this standard.

This book is written primarily for beginners in the field of QMS, and for people with moderate knowledge about AS9100. It is structured in such a way that someone with no prior experience or knowledge in the implementation of an aerospace QMS can quickly understand what it is about, and how to implement the whole project. If you do have experience with the standard but feel that you still have gaps in your knowledge, you’ll also find this book very helpful. This book provides implementation examples in small- and medium-sized organizations (i. e. companies with up to 500 employees). All the principles described here, however, are also applicable to larger organizations. That means, if you work for a larger company, you might also find this book useful.

So, if you are a quality manager, a quality management professional, head of the quality department or a project manager who is tasked with implementing AS9100 Rev D in a small- or mid-sized company, this book is perfect for you. This book will also be quite useful for consultants, since it makes an effort to present information in the most logical way to implement an aerospace QMS. By carefully reading this book, you will gain the know-how for your future consulting engagements.

However, what you may find most helpful in this book is the practical examples and answers to real-life questions that come up when implementing AS9100. These bits of advice come from the author’s experience both implementing AS9100, and from questions that he has been asked on a daily basis. After reading this book, you’ll be able to implement the standard yourself, since it will provide you with enough knowledge and tips to implement the requirements in a small or mid-sized company.
