Preparation of the quality assurance system according to AS 9100 for a new C revision, and assistance in fixing the audit findings. The assignment was subsequently extended to include enhancement of efficiency of the whole system.
Quality assurance system AS 9100 C
duration 11.4.2012 - still
Our company has to meet the strict requirements of ISO 9001 standard and, in particular, the AS 9100 quality assurance system for aviation, space and defence industries. We had had trouble finding a consultant knowledgeable about this particular field. After we had been searching for quite some time, the consultancy network of OwnWay captured our attention. Consultant Jiří Střelec had a basic command of AS 9100. Although his practice was limited, we opted to try his services out.
Our cooperation was kicked off with working on improvement of 2 processes, and providing for the requirements of a new C revision of the AS 9100 standard. The certification auditor was safisfied with the results and we familiarized ourselves with a new manner of system modelling. The consultant has taught us how to make a process modelling in a single page rather than in a 5-page directive. We have achieved great simplification, reduction in "paper load", and our initial worry that we would miss something has dwindled.
In the first place, we have to appreciate a consistent, complex approach to the entire company throughout our cooperation. Each activity was made simple, fully functional and beneficial to both the company and the workers. The system has become very simple and transparent in all the spectrum of our business. Together we have even managed to implement changes that have brought cost economies in the order of days in a month that have brought along financial economies. We highly value the consultant´s knowledge in diverse fields that he has managed to combine artfully for our benefit. Thus, we did not view the processes only in the frame of inputs, outputs, and functions, but also in the perspective of communication, simplicity and - of course - efficiency. We have also been spending more time promoting our company towards the customers.
Based on the results of work, we have established a monthly regime of consultancy and extended our cooperation to include other activities such as auditing, system improvement, reporting and promotion on the Internet.
