For your plant 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 NC tagged where found and logged the same shift; a weekly board and hold-area walk; use-as-is and repair released only with the approvals in hand.
Why nowYour own reason: the size and age of the cage, a recent escape, an audit finding, a customer's complaint about concessions.
What I need from youThe authority matrix signed; an engineer released to the board for 45 minutes a week; your backing when a hold delays a shipment.
What you will see in 90 daysA smaller, younger cage; no case waiting on a customer without a follow-up date; cost of nonconformance by where found, monthly.
First monthly 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.
