Real projects. Real certifications. Real customers won.
A selection of recent ISO 9001 and AS9100D engagements with small aviation, aerospace, and defense manufacturers.
- AS9100D
Precision Machine Shop — AS9100D Certification
Aerospace component manufacturer, 32 employees
A precision CNC shop supplying tier-2 aerospace customers needed AS9100D to qualify for a major engine program. We built the full QMS on-site, ran their internal audit, and supported them through Stage 1 and Stage 2 with zero major NCRs.
- Certification-ready in 14 weeks
- ISO 9001
Sheet Metal Fabricator — ISO 9001 Implementation
Custom fabrication, 18 employees
Family-owned fabricator with no prior QMS. We mapped their existing processes, wrote procedures that matched real shop-floor practice, and trained two internal auditors. They passed certification on the first attempt.
- First-time certification, 16 weeks
- AS9100D Transition
Composite Parts Supplier — ISO 9001 to AS9100D
Composite manufacturer, 45 employees
Already ISO 9001 certified, this supplier needed AS9100D to expand into defense programs. We built configuration management, FOD, and counterfeit parts controls on top of their existing system.
- Transition complete in 12 weeks
- Defense
Specialty Hardware — Defense Supply Chain Entry
Specialty fasteners, 24 employees
Owner-operator needed AS9100D to bid on a defense prime contract. We ran a full gap analysis, built the system, and stayed through audit-day. They closed their first defense PO within three months of certification.
- Certified, won first defense contract within 90 days
- Recertification
Avionics Repair Station — Recertification Rescue
Avionics MRO, 60 employees
Brought in 8 weeks before a recertification audit after their previous QMS manager left. We rebuilt their internal audit program, refreshed documentation, and coached the leadership team through the audit.
- Rescued recertification, zero major NCRs
- AS9100D
Aerostructures Subassembly — Greenfield QMS
Aerostructures startup, 12 employees
Brand-new shop with no processes, no documentation, no records. We built everything from scratch — quality manual through internal audit — in time for them to certify before their first PO shipped.
- AS9100D in under 5 months from incorporation
- AS9100D Transition
Precision Machining & Assembly — AS9100D Gap Analysis
Medical Device Manufacturer
A precision machining and assembly company wanted to expand into aerospace. They were already ISO 13485 certified. We conducted a full gap analysis to identify what needed to change to meet AS9100D requirements and gave them a clear action plan for aerospace readiness.
- Gap analysis complete in 1 month
- ISO 9001
Wire Harness Manufacturer — ISO 9001 Certification
Electronics & Cable Manufacturing
A wire harness manufacturer needed ISO 9001 certification after a key customer began requiring it from all suppliers. We reviewed their existing processes, identified the gaps, and supported them on-site through the full certification process.
- First-time certification in 4 months
- AS9100D
Machine Shop — AS9100D Certification Support
Aerospace Component Manufacturer
This machine shop was already working to aerospace standards but had never been formally certified. We reviewed their quality system, identified gaps in documentation and implementation, and prepared them for their Stage 1 audit.
- Stage 1 ready in 2 months
