The AS9101 rewrite goal is to provide requirements on process auditing and development of AS9100 series audit approaches and tools that focus not only on conformity, but also on effectiveness of a AS9100 quality management system (QMS). The AS9101 proposal is to develop an enhanced audit process for evaluating process-based management systems that aligns with ISO 17021 and consists of:
• Process-based information gathering.
• Assessment or analysis and audit planning.
• Development of performance-based and process-oriented audit methods and techniques.
• The ability to capture objective evidence of process conformity and effectiveness.
The major proposed changes in the rewrite of AS9101 include:
• Creation of one document covering AS9100, AS9110 and AS9120.
• Elimination of scoring and key requirements designations.
• Use of data and customer feedback concerning organizational QMS performance as an input for process-oriented audits (for example, Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS) customer satisfaction or performance scores).
• Inclusion of determination of effectiveness, in addition to conformity.
• More emphasis on performance measuring.
• Introduction of the objective evidence record.
A major theme of the AS9101 rewrite is examining process effectiveness. ISO 9000:2005 defines effectiveness as the extent to which planned activities are realized and planned results achieved. The ultimate measure of QMS effectiveness is customer satisfaction.
What has not changed in AS9101 includes determining conformity to the standards, documenting discovered nonconformities and drawing conclusions on conformity of the organization’s QMS based on information collected during the audit.
