Could you post your flowdown for others interested in viewing. We are
currently going through some audits with companys that put the product
we would build into Aerospace and I've been told we should consider as
certification. I would like to aim for this but feel your chart would be
of great assistance.

You may find the transition from ISO 9000:2000 to AS9100 Rev A
challenging.  It's comparable to going from IPC-610 Class 2 to Class 3.
I'm attaching a copy of my company's quality flowdown to suppliers for
your reference.   You can interpret the specification as stated in the
beginning where the items outside the box are ISO requirements, the
requirements inside the box are AS requirements, and the items in
italics text are my company specific requirements.   I am on the road
and don't have a clean copy of the AS spec with me.   The bottom line is
that AS has specific requirements on top of the ISO standard.   One can
not determine the difficulty of switching from ISO to AS without
understanding the established quality system and culture at a specific
company.  The best way to approach this question is to obtain a copy of
AS-9100 and create a compliance matrix.  In other words, a two column
list of AS-9100 requirements (item by item) and the corresponding list
of how your company's quality system meets those requirements.  You've
been through ISO surveillance requirements in the past and understand
how the auditors interpret the standard.  Apply the same auditing
philosophy the the AS requirements and you'll determine what is required
to comply.

Let me know if I can provide further assistance.  I normally don't like
to be this evasive, but this is a case of trying to provide advice
without having information.

I'm on the road as I send this email.  Let me know if there's a problem
with the attachment and if you would like me to try sending it again.
