Introduction to AS9100 with Danny Lee

In this episode of Exploring Standards, host Jess is joined by Danny Lee, an experienced quality professional with a strong background in aviation and aerospace. Together, they dive into the world of AS9100, the internationally recognised quality management system standard specifically designed for the aerospace, aviation, and defence industries.

Danny begins by explaining the purpose and scope of AS9100, who it’s intended for, and how it builds on the foundation of ISO 9001 by introducing additional industry-specific requirements. He highlights why sectors like aerospace need more than a general QMS and explores the key business benefits of adopting AS9100, including enhanced customer confidence, better risk management, and improved process control.

Listeners will also gain practical advice on how to transition from ISO 9001 to AS9100, especially for precision engineering companies aiming to break into the aviation sector. Danny shares insights on common implementation mistakes, what small businesses need to know, and the first steps to take when starting their AS9100 journey.

Whether you're considering certification or just want to understand how AS9100 supports excellence in aviation quality management, this episode offers expert guidance and actionable takeaways.
