Muskogee Technology Received AS9100D Certification
Atmore, Alabama- June 22, 2018- Muskogee Technology (MT) recently completed a five-month process of certification and have received their designation as an AS9100D manufacturer.
“The Tribe is proud of the Muskogee Technology team and its newly gained designation as an AS9100D manufacturer. This is a testament to the standard of quality that MT adheres to and we look forward to seeing the positive impacts from this certification,” remarked Tribal Chair Stephanie A. Bryan.
A widely adopted and standardized quality management system, AS9100 is an internationally recognized quality management standard specifically written for the aerospace industry, and is based on the ISO:9001 quality management system (QMS) standard. Compliance with this specification is confirmed through a complex auditing and certification process. The process consists of three arduous steps beginning with applying for the registration which is made by completing the Aerospace Quote Request Form. Next there is the assessment phase of AS9100D, which is undertaken by NQA one of the largest and most respected certification bodies in the world, and consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit. Finally, the certification is issued by NQA which boasts over 35,000 certifications in over 70 countries worldwide. The AS9100D certification is maintained through a program of annual surveillance audits and a once every-three-year recertification audit.
“In a global economy, aviation, space, and defense manufacturing suppliers such as Muskogee Technology are presented the test of producing and delivering safe and trustworthy products across a wide range of customer requirements and demands,” Westly L. Woodruff, President/CEO of Muskogee Technology commented. Mr. Woodruff continued, “In an effort to address diverse quality requirements and expectations, while also reducing costs, the SAE AS9100 family of standards was developed by international aerospace industry representatives to standardize international aerospace quality management system requirements. The recent AS9100D revisions incorporate significant changes to these requirements, and suppliers are compelled to adopt and/or revise their common management system structure to comply. This process is vital for the aerospace supply chain industry to ensure expansive measures are implemented and enforced to ensure the safety and reliability of private, military, and commercial services. We hold the importance of these standards in the highest regard.”
