Why NMG Aerospace Complies with AS9100 Certification
NMG Aerospace has produced the highest quality of precision aerospace technological options since its beginnings over 50 years ago. We owe our longevity to a strict adherence to quality and efficiency standards. These standards help us do our job correctly. Furthermore, they assure our clients that what they buy from us will perform as expected.
For example, would you want to get on a plane that probably worked? No one would. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The same is true for products developed for the aerospace industry. Every component of the machine must perform efficiently to ensure optimal functionality. When engaging in one of these machines, you know the risks of what can go wrong. As a result, you must have confidence in its manufacturing. That is where certifications, such as AS9100, come in.
We go to great lengths to acquire all relevant certifications to keep creating quality aerospace parts. However, in precision aerospace engineering, few certifications hold more weight than AS9100. This distinction is the elite standard that NMG Aerospace adheres to.
To put it simply: You buy from NMG so that our part can be on your plane. To have a quality issue or production delay is costly, and NMG respects both the cost and safety factors by adhering to AS9100 plus our own high standards. Keep reading to learn more about AS9100 Certification and what it can do for you, for us, and the entire aerospace industry.
What is the AS9100 Certification?
The AS9100 Certification has its roots in various other certification programs. Initially, the certification was a militaristic replacement of two other certifications. Since then, it has come to apply to many divisions within the distinction, such as military, commercial, and even space flight.
To best adapt to evolving industrial technologies, the AS9100 Certification has undergone revisions six times to be more relevant to the various aerospace industries that adhere to it. As updates to this standard come, so must manufacturing processes. NMG Aerospace prioritizes efficiency and optimization. As a result, whenever changes are made to the AS9100 Certification, we are diligent in ensuring that our operations are compliant.
Besides our steadfast devotion to quality, there are other motivators for achieving this stamp of approval. The AS9100 Certification has become so prevalent and respected throughout the aerospace manufacturing industry that some OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers require AS9100 Certification – and won’t do business without it. This further cements the notion that quality manufacturing and products are not optional but mandatory.
What are the Requirements to Obtain this Certification?
Some believe the certification only refers to physical products and their base components. However, this is only partly correct. The AS9100 certification is a holistic approach to production that transcends a mere working product checklist. It takes into account many critical factors of production, including, but not limited to:
- Airworthiness
- Consistency
- Effectiveness of Process
- Management of Product Configuration
- Management of Risk
- Measurement of Product
- Monitoring of Product
- Quality
- Safety
- Supply Chain Management
- Validation of Design
- Verification of Design
What Benefits Can Clients See From This Certification?
Assurance
The most apparent benefit of adhering to certifications such as the AS9100 is the reassurance that those manufacturing these products perform appropriately, along with your parts. This certification standard has built several checks and balances to ensure that every relevant aspect of production is being executed efficiently and productively. This will provide you with peace of mind as you continue along your production schedule.
International Standard
However, following the requirements of this certification do more than reassure a client of their quality. The AS9100 is an international standard of production capabilities. It allows others within the field to know what they can expect and what is expected of them. This alleviates the problem of any confusion on an international scale, such as with production locations or associates.
Financial Benefits
From a business perspective, following AS9100 can be a wise financial decision and a safe and functional one. When you and your clients feel assured of the quality of your product, there will be fewer mistakes. When everything is functioning as it is supposed to, there will likely be fewer recalls, fewer manufacturing diversions to correct concerns, and less lost business. With no lost time, your production schedule can stay on track and avoid potential lost revenue.
