Introduction
Published in Boyd L. Summers, Effective Processes for Quality Assurance, 2019
The Aerospace standards 9100 (AS9100), Standard Aerospace Evaluation (SAE) AS9110, and International Organization for Standardization 9001 (ISO 9001) are the models for Quality Assurance of all processes, requirements, production, and service. These standards are used when conformance to processes is to be assured by companies during several stages of compliance. The standards given below adopt and deploy the following: Companies, institutions, military programs, and successful businesses should comply with AS9100 for Quality Assurance to show system requirement-specific additional requirements for support.Providing Quality Assurance for maintenance, repair, or modification services should be required to comply with AS9100 or may select SAE AS9110 to ensure that processes are compliant and working per Quality Assurance disciplines.Software companies’ products must comply with ISO 9001 for compliance to minimum requirements for the application of AS9100 and ISO 9001 on software programs.ISO 9001 requirements for a Quality Assurance management system can be used for internal application certifications and contractual purposes to focus on the effectiveness of meeting and accomplishing customer requirements.
Quality Management System

As we see in the preceding sections and clauses, it is quite clear that we need to have an all-inclusive approach to documented processes covering: ISO 9001:2008AS9100:2004 (Aerospace Industry Quality Management Standard)TS-16949:2002 (Automotive Industry Quality Management Standard)ISO 9001:2015 (Proposed QMS Standard)

The concept of CM began during missile development in the 1950s. Difficulties regarding the production and manufacture of missiles within the United States Department of Defense stemmed from the lack of repeatable process or the ability to replicate products in an efficient manner. Change control was introduced to understand and coordinate changes made to the engineering design. The addition of assessing cost and schedule implications and how the changes affected other designs within a system led to the implementation of CM [2]. This resulted in the development of Army, Navy, Air Force (ANA) Bulletin No. 390 and 390A in 1953, which defined the Engineering Change Proposal or ECP. After many iterations and additions, they evolved to become MIL-STD-480, which has been superseded by several iterations, including MIL-STD-973 [3]. On September 30, 2000, MIL-STD-973 was canceled, after which the Department of Defense adopted ANSI/EIA-649 National Consensus Standard for CM to implement the best practices and processes employed by industry. CM is now practiced worldwide, and its concepts have been adopted by many specific standards and disciplines associated with process and product quality, including, but not limited to:Aerospace Standard AS9100International Organization for Standardization ISO 9001Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)European Space Agency (ECSS-M-ST-40C)Federal Aviation Administration (FAA Order 1800.66)ISO/IEC 15504 Information Technology

A firm’s certification program is typically used as a means of measuring and then qualifying suppliers. Certification programs involve a thorough examination of all dimensions of a supplier’s performance, increasing the probability that the supplier will meet the required product performance specifications every time. It creates baselines for evaluating supplier risk levels, and ensures material conformance to specific requirements such as those of ISO 9001:2008, QS 9000, ISO 14000, AS 9100, NADCAP/PRI, TS-16949 or other specific standards (Curkovic & Handfield, 1996). The purchasing requirements in the ISO 9001 standard help to ensure that products and services procured from various suppliers fully meet buyers’ needs. QS 9000 is another quality management system developed to address necessities of the automotive industry (Noori, 2004). The ISO 14000 Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of internationally created and recognized guidelines that allow companies to address the environmental impact of their products, facilities and business practices. AS9100 is the quality management standard specifically written for the aerospace industry. Nadcap (formerly NADCAP, the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is a global cooperative accreditation program for aerospace engineering, defense and related industries.
