For your general manager: one page

Fill this in and hand it over. It says what changes, what you need, and what they will see.

A record to fill in: what to write in each field

What is changingEvery instrument on one register linked to what it measures; an impact assessment the day any calibration fails; gauge studies behind key characteristics; a weekly review.
Why nowYour own reason: overdue count, an out-of-tolerance result with no assessment, a customer's request for gauge studies, an upcoming audit.
What I need from youLab budget for the backlog; replacement of instruments that fail studies; inspectors released for studies; authority to notify customers promptly.
What you will see in 90 daysEvery instrument found and in date; no out-of-tolerance result without an assessment; the first gauge studies done; days to close an assessment tracked monthly.
First review date

The Word and fillable PDF handbook give you this as a form with space to write.

A management aid, not certification or a registrar audit. Using it does not by itself show conformity to AS9100D or any other standard, and your customers' requirements may add to it.

Clause numbers refer to AS9100D (SAE AS9100 Rev D) unless another document is named. The standards' text is not reproduced here: use your own licensed copy.

Aegis Insights are our own guidance, labeled wherever they appear: how we approach this work, not a requirement of any standard or customer.
