AS9100 C Risk Managment

In the new revision of the AS9100 standard, an emphasis is being placed on clause 7.1.2 - Risk Management. Understanding and embracing these changes will better position your organization for growth and profitability. It's a matter of survival especially during these uncertain times. The new requirement is to implement a risk management process applicable to the product and organization that includes responsibility, criteria, mitigation, and acceptance.

The purpose of adding risk management in clause 7.1.2 is to provide an additional focus on product risk during product realization. However, AS9100 is not prescriptive about how this should be implemented. They have kept this part flexible to allow an organization to choose the best method of analysis appropriate to the product. AS9100 C Implementation benefits include measuring, analyzing, and improving product quality and on-time delivery performance, and formally monitoring customer satisfaction data and trends. Also, plans will be needed to ensure continuous improvement.
