AS9110 Rev C Training

What is AS9110 Rev C?

 

AS9110 is a standard that defines the quality system requirements for organizations whose primary business is in the aircraft industry at all levels of the maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) process. It is focused on the control of repair schemes and maintenance plans, configuration management, and the skills and qualifications necessary to perform MRO tasks within the aerospace community.

Based on ISO 9001 but with nearly 100 additional requirements specific to the aerospace MRO industry, AS9110 provides suppliers with a comprehensive quality system focused on areas directly impacting product safety and reliability.

Axeon’s training courses begin with your objectives in mind. Before any training begins the instructor must have an objective to deliver your desired outcome. If the course does not have a specific objective, students can go through the motions with little added value. Axeon’s Statistical Process Control training begins with a candid discussion of your needs and expectations with the course instructor to develop specific areas of focus for the class. Below is a general outline for the course and topics that will be covered.

Overview

Statistical process control (SPC) procedures help you monitor process behavior. One of the staple SPC tools used by quality process analysts, improvement associates, inspectors and more is the control chart.

Risk Management for AS13004

Days: 2 

 7:30 AM- 4:30 PM MST

 

AS13004 Overview

This class teaches participants the Aerospace Risk Requirements (per AS9100, 9110, and 9120) as well as the specific requirements for Operation Risk as defined in AS13004 PFMEA and Control Plans.  The course follows a well-organized, systematic approach to Identify, Assess, and Mitigate Risks that impact Aerospace organizations and the risks to their customers and stakeholders. While Risk Management is a basic requirement of ISO 9001, the Aerospace standards incorporate all of these requirements and add further requirements to make aerospace products and services safe and effective throughout the Supply Chain. Further, with reduced risks inherent in the Design and Manufacture of aerospace articles, the costs associated with their manufacture should be reduced.

Who Should Attend

  • Any organization that needs a formal, disciplined approach to the identification, assessment, and management of Risk.
  • Organizations that must meet the requirements–AS9100 Operational Risk Management, and
    AS13004 PFMEA and Control Plans.

AS13000 Training: Problem-Solving Requirements for Suppliers

Days: 2

Time:  7:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. MST

Overview

As Root Cause CAPA for Aerospace, an AS13000 training is a must-have. If you are a Boeing, Airbus, or other top OEM supplier, you need this class! All suppliers for the top OEM’s are required to have an 8D Practitioner. This course fulfills the training and testing requirements to become an 8D Practitioner.

AS13000 defines the Problem-Solving standard for suppliers within the aero-engine sector, with the Eight Disciplines (8D) problem-solving method being the basis for this standard.

This 2-day course provides students with a comprehensive and standardized set of tools to become an 8D practitioner and meets all the requirements of “training syllabus” (see AS1300 APPENDIX C). Successful application of 8D achieves robust corrective and preventive actions to reduce the risk of repeat occurrences and minimize the cost of poor quality. This is essential to enable long-term customer-supplier relationships and positively contributes towards zero defects and customer satisfaction.

This course includes the practical application of each of the 8D disciplines.

What are ITAR and EAR?

ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and the EAR (Export Administration Regulations) are export control regulations run by different departments of the US Government.  Both of them are designed to help ensure that defense-related technology does not get into the wrong hands.  An export license is a general term for both ITAR and EAR-controlled items in which the US Government has granted permission to transport or sell potentially dangerous items to foreign countries or parties.

Obtaining EAR and ITAR Compliance

To be ITAR or EAR compliant, a manufacturer or exporter whose articles or services appear on the USML or CCL lists must register with the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). ITAR and EAR compliance can be problematic for a global corporation because the data related to a specific type of technology may need to be transferred over the Internet or stored locally outside the United States to make business processes flow smoothly. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer or exporter to take the necessary steps to certify that they are in compliance with the regulations.

Export control laws provide for substantial penalties, both civil and criminal.  Failure to comply with ITAR can result in civil fines as high as $500,000 per violation, while criminal penalties include fines of up to $1,000,000 and 10 years imprisonment per violation.  Under EAR, maximum civil fines can reach $250,000 per violation. Criminal penalties can be as high as $1,000,000 and 20 years imprisonment per violation.

ITAR:

The Department of State is responsible for the export and temporary import of defense articles and services governed by 22 U.S.C. 2778 of the Arms Export Control Act and Executive Order 13637. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR,” 22 CFR 120-130) implements the AECA.

The more stringent of the two sets of regulations was written for articles with direct defense-related applications.  Articles specifically designed or otherwise intended for military end-use are enumerated on the United States Munitions List (USML) or the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex and therefore controlled by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) which is administered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) at the State Department.  Items, services, and information are all covered by the ITAR regulations.  The most controlled items are Significant Military Equipment (SME) which have “capacity for substantial military utility or capability” such as tanks, high explosives, naval vessels, attack helicopters, etc which are noted on the USML with an asterisk.  Some examples include; an export license (DSP-5), exchanging technical emails or teaching how to repair an ITAR-covered item which requires a Technical Assistance Agreement (TAA), and allowing a foreign company to manufacture an item requires a Manufacturing License Agreement (MLA).

EAR:

Most other items not specifically listed in the USML, but with the capability to be used for either civilian or military purposes are considered “dual-use” and controlled under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) which is administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) at the Department of Commerce (DoC).   The Commerce Control List (CCL) is the equivalent list at the DoC to the State Department’s USML.  The CCL specifically controls for Chemical & Biological Weapons, Nuclear Nonproliferation, National Security, Missile Technology, Regional Stability, Firearm Convention, Crime Control, and Anti-Terrorism.  The level of control depends on the country being exported to, destination party, end-use, and Export Control Classification Number (ECCN).  Specifically, there are “600 Series” and “500 Series” items that are more strictly controlled than the rest of the CCL, but less strictly controlled than the articles on the USML.

Who should attend?

This introductory course is for business executives, international contracting specialists, contract managers and administrators, program and project managers, marketing professionals, engineers, and other technical personnel, newly appointed export compliance officers, logistics personnel, and legal and financial advisors.

Why go to this class?

  1. ITAR isn’t easy- you will need a guide to help you through.
  2. Online courses require no travel.
  3. This 1-day training is only on our calendar six times a year.
  4. Everything your company manufactures or offers services on is either subject to the ITAR or EAR Regulations.
  5. Failure to comply with ITAR can result in civil fines are as high as $500,000 per violation, while criminal penalities include fines of up to $1,000,000 and 10 years imprisonment per violation.
