The first article inspection procedure ( FAI ) AS9102 applies to organizations that are responsible for producing the design characteristics of a product. First article inspection procedure AS9102 applies to assemblies, sub-assemblies and detail parts, including castings and forgings. The procedure does not apply to procured catalog hardware or deliverable software and is normally flowed down to Suppliers that have design authority. The AS9102 first article inspection procedure ( FAI ) must be performed on a new product that is representative of the first production run. Prototype parts or parts manufactured using methods different from those intended for the normal production process must not be subject to first article inspection. An assembly level first article inspection ( FAI ) must be performed on those characteristics specified on the assembly drawing.

We provide paper-based quality management systems so we know their value, but they have one inherent problem that can't be overcome - they're always somewhere else when you need them...! When you finally get to them they may not be the latest revision because they're hardcopy. If your business is like any other then you're constantly improving your documents, which means your system could overlook updating your hardcopy that was issued to you a few months or years ago. Whenever you touch a hardcopy you have to think, "Am I using the latest procedure or work instruction?" - "Am I going to make scrap because this document is out-of-date?". These inherent hardcopy problems are dinosaur-eggs that can hatch anytime to eat your hard-earned dollars!

Efficient QMS™ doesn't allow dinosaur-eggs to lay around in your business operation to hatch at the worst possible time. Documents and records within eQMS can easily be kept up-to-date and they are available to you from any computer in your business or anywhere in the world if you deploy them to the internet. Every login to eQMS requires a password so your documents and records are protected from prying-eyes. Efficient QMS™ also provides you with a secure signature so you can sign important documents anytime from any computer on your network or the internet.

Evaluate eQMS to see how it can dramatically improve the efficiency of the quality program that you need to keep your Customers from going to your competitor. Any size business, including a one, two or three person shop, can now compete to win new business or keep their existing business by operating any QMS, including AS9003, AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, ISO 9001, ISO 15161, MIL-I-45208, MIL-Q-9858, FAA-PMA or Repair Station, TS16949, Construction, Maintenance, Machine Shop, Engineering, or any Customer required quality system by using a truly Efficient QMS™!

Insight to performing first article inspection FAI:
Characteristic Accountability
The Company shall verify and record the results of every design characteristic during first article inspection FAI. Every design characteristic shall have its own unique characteristic number.
NOTE: Reference characteristics may be omitted from the first article inspection FAI.
NOTE: Use more than one line if needed for any characteristic.
NOTE: Characteristics not measurable in the final product shall be verified by destructive means or during the manufacturing process (as long as they are not affected by subsequent operations). Characteristics verified at the detail level may be referenced in the assembly-level first article inspection report (FAIR).
Record of Results
Results from inspection of design characteristics shall be expressed in quantitative terms when a design characteristic is expressed by numerical limits. The Company shall record the results in the units specified on the drawing or specification unless otherwise approved by the Customer. Go/no-go data may be used when the design characteristic does not specify numerical limits (e.g., break all sharp edges) or an inspection technique is unavailable to provide quantitative terms. Go/no-go data may also be used when qualified tooling is used as a check feature for a specific characteristic.

Quality Plan

Purpose of the Quality Plan
The quality plan is the document setting out the quality assurance procedures for the project. Its aim is to assure that the results and deliverables of the project are of high quality and meet the specifications set in the project description of work. Once accepted, the quality plan becomes an official project document, which should govern all actions of the business operation.

Scope of the Quality Plan
The quality plan is to be used by:

all parties responsible for preparing and amending deliverables,

quality experts responsible for reviewing completed quality plans and sign-off,

any responsible person of the business operation that is charged with approving work to be done by third parties to enable completion of deliverables.

Procedure Description
Quality planning is an integral part of management planning. As a pre-requisite to its preparation, the quality assurance manager must review all requirements to determine the necessary activities that need to be planned. The quality plan must be prepared early in the project to demonstrate and provide the business operation with the assurance that:

the contract requirements and conditions have been reviewed,

effective quality planning has taken place,

the quality system is appropriate.

To ensure relevance of the quality plan, the quality assurance manager should conduct quality reviews throughout the duration of the contract and when contractual changes occur. The quality assurance manager must ensure that the quality plan is available to all concerned and that its requirements are met.

Quality within a Project
Activities must be implemented, including their sequence, to ensure that the project and its deliverables conform to the project requirements. Personnel responsible for ensuring that the required activities are carried out should be identified within the document. The quality plan should include explanations that are necessary to show how quality requirements for activities are met. A list of such activities should include:

responsibilities of the quality assurance manager,

quality system review,

document and data control,

project quality control board,

internal communication strategies,

prototype identification and traceability,

inspection and testing of project prototypes and their parts,

peer review and control of non-conforming deliverables,

corrective and preventive actions.

Deliverable Documents
Official project documents should be produced in standard format with standard font size, page layout with headers and footers and standard justification. Deliverables should:

have a list of abbreviations used within the deliverable

have a table of contents

have a list of figures

have a list of tables

start with a one-page executive summary

end the main part with a conclusions section

include a references section after the conclusions section

include all detailed technical and other information in appendices

language should be English

display the same fonts throughout the document

be spell-checked
