AS9100 certification is an important credential for aerospace and defense manufacturing, but achieving it can mean much more than gaining access to new work. The requirements for standardization, traceability, and safety can change how a machining business operates.
In this video, manufacturing journalist Peter Zelinski talks with Advance CNC Machining VP of Manufacturing Cassandra Metell about what changed when Advance CNC pursued and achieved AS9100 certification. Cassandra explains how this framework demanded greater consistency and discipline throughout the organization—from scheduling and customer requirements to documentation, inspection, and processes on the shop floor.
For Advance CNC, AS9100 became a catalyst for improvements we already knew we needed to make. The discussion offers a look at what aerospace quality requirements mean inside a machining supplier, and why certification involves much more than the certificate itself.
