AS9100, AS9110 & AS9120 Consulting Services

Quality Resource Center (QRC) provides AS9100, AS9110, and AS9120 consulting for aerospace manufacturers, MRO organizations, and parts distributors that need a certifiable quality management system without pulling their engineering and quality staff off production work.

Founded in 1992 and based in San Jose, California, QRC has designed and implemented management systems for more than 1,000 organizations, and works with aerospace suppliers across Silicon Valley, the Bay Area, and nationwide.

Which Standard Applies to You

The AS9100 series adds aerospace, aviation, and defense requirements on top of ISO 9001. Which document you certify to depends on what your organization does:

  • AS9100 – aerospace and defense manufacturers and design organizations (current revision AS9100D)
  • AS9110 – maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organizations
  • AS9120 – aerospace parts distributors and stockists

If you are not sure which applies — for example, a distributor that also performs light assembly — QRC will scope it with you before any work begins.

Choose the Engagement You Actually Need

Aerospace suppliers arrive here with three different problems. They are handled by three different services, so you are not paying for an implementation when what you need is an auditor.

1. Consulting and implementation

You need a certifiable AS9100, AS9110, or AS9120 system built — first-time certification, a transition, or a system that failed its last audit. That is the service described on this page.

2. Training your own team

You have the system and need people who can run it. Role-based courses, including 16-hour internal auditor training and certification, are covered on our AS9100 training page, with the full course catalog under ISO training.

3. Internal and supplier audits

You need independent audits performed, or your whole internal audit program run for you. See ISO audit services for internal audits, supplier audits, gap analysis, and pre-assessment (readiness) audits.

How an Engagement Runs

  • Scope and gap analysis. We establish which standard applies, what already meets the requirements, and what is missing.
  • System design and documentation. Processes, procedures, and records are built around how your shop actually operates.
  • Deployment and training. Your team is trained on the system they will have to run and audit.
  • Internal audit and management review. The system is exercised and corrected before a registrar sees it.
  • Certification support. We prepare you for the registrar audit and stay through findings and closure.
  • Ongoing maintenance. Surveillance audit support and outsourced audit program maintenance if you want it.

The outcome is a certification-ready system your own people can operate, not a binder of templates.

Why Aerospace Organizations Choose QRC

  • Proven implementation experience. QRC has implemented management systems for more than 1,000 organizations since 1992.
  • Minimal disruption to operations. Our consultants work alongside your team while your organization continues normal operations.
  • Consistent certification outcomes. QRC prepares organizations to meet registrar expectations with confidence.
  • Cost-effective. Organizations frequently report that QRC’s consulting costs are significantly lower than the internal resources required to design, implement, and maintain an aerospace-compliant system.
