Awareness

AS9100D expects people to be aware of the quality policy and objectives that apply to them, their contribution to product conformity and product safety, the importance of ethical behavior, and what happens when requirements are not met. The Quality Awareness Briefing Checklist (G05) turns that into a short briefing at the workplace, given by the supervisor, using the area's own parts and gauges, with three questions at the end and a check at the workplace weeks later.

  • Brief at onboarding, once a year, after every escape or significant nonconformance, when a requirement or method changes, and before a new program.
  • Say plainly where the part goes and what a defect means, calmly and without blame.
  • Say out loud that stopping work when something looks wrong is expected, and name who to call on the shift.
  • Put ethics in the terms of the area's records: the reading measured, the stamp only for work inspected.

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.
