AS9100
Major manufacturers in the aircraft and aerospace industry identified quality suppliers as a valuable link in the supply chain. Instead of writing their own quality management system standard, the manufacturers chose to build off the well-known ISO 9001:2000 quality management system standard. By incorporating sector specific supplier requirements, the aircraft and aerospace industry established AS9100 and AS9100b as quality standards.
