Our auditors conduct internal assessments of our client’s AS9100 Quality Management System to help continual improvement and meet the requirements of AS9100’s Internal Audit clause. The scope of internal audits is tailored specifically to our client’s needs and requirements. Companies in the aerospace industry contract us to conduct their internal audit program for a variety of reasons:
• Better Resource Utilization: Everyone is trying to do more with less these days, and we understand you have key personnel working on competing priorities. Internal Auditing is an area that is easy to outsource to free up internal resources and it is not particularly costly.
• Access to Best Practices: Our auditors have seen the implementation of AS9100 at hundreds of companies. Their experience is a competitive advantage we leverage for our clients.
• Expertise: It is expensive and time-consuming to become an expert in AS9100 and a full-time job to keep abreast of changes, such as the transition to Revision D. Many clients have said that outsourcing internal audits is one way to let employees focus on other duties. For small organizations, this is an even bigger challenge – as they may entirely lack the expertise. Our auditors are AS9100 experts who can impart their knowledge to your organization and help drive continuous improvement efforts.
• Impartiality: AS9100 requires auditors to be impartial in the areas being audited and many organizations, especially smaller companies, struggle to meet this requirement. When certified auditors perform a client’s internal audit, there is no such concern.
Quality monitoring is about more than checking parts. We create relationships with the installers of a supplier’s products to understand how the products are seen from the OEM’s perspective. We build rapport with the OEM’s quality assurance personnel, engineers and plant management.
Digital Product Definition (DPD) and Model-Based Definition (MBD) are vital in the aerospace industry to identify if suppliers have the necessary processes that meet the format for a product. At McCormick’s Metrology, we create detailed CAD models using DPD and MBD to help our clients meet vast industrial standards and improve their market readiness. Our CAD modeling relies on precision-based 3D models that accurately represent all the specific details and components of products and parts, which are easier to assess your clients.
Our Quality Engineering consultants put together processes that are collaborative and structured. We bring in standardization to create an environment of quality that is change-driven and empowering.
