AS9100D
Configuration Management Awareness
Build, inspect and ship the right revision every time
Awareness · 1.5 hours · Certificate does not expire
Most aerospace escapes that are not about workmanship are about configuration: a part built to the wrong revision, a router that lagged a design change, a redline nobody approved, a build record that does not match the unit. AS9100D clause 8.1.2 requires every organization to manage configuration across the product life cycle, and the people who make that work are the ones who check revisions, kit parts, run programs and complete build records.
This course explains configuration in plain terms: part number, revision and effectivity; as-designed, as-planned, as-built and as-maintained; and what goes wrong when they disagree. It introduces the 5 configuration management functions of SAE EIA-649, planning and management, identification, change management, status accounting, and verification and audit, and shows how they help you meet AS9100D clause 8.1.2, which requires a configuration management process but does not prescribe a method.
The practical modules cover the changes you meet in daily work: engineering change versus deviation and waiver, when customer approval is required, redlines and uncontrolled copies, obsolete documents at the workstation, NC program and software versions, and model-based definition. The final module works through 4 scenarios, a wrong revision on the floor, an uncontrolled redline, a build record that does not match the unit, and a customer asking which configuration shipped, and lists what an auditor checks.
The course closes with a 10-question examination drawn from a bank of 20. On passing you receive a PlanetISO Certificate of Completion with lifetime access to the course content. The certificate does not expire and can be filed as evidence of configuration management awareness training.
What people learn
- Explain part number, revision and effectivity and distinguish as-designed, as-planned, as-built and as-maintained configurations.
- Describe the 5 configuration management functions of SAE EIA-649 and how they help meet AS9100D clause 8.1.2.
- Distinguish an engineering change from a deviation and a waiver and state when customer approval is required.
- Recognise uncontrolled redlines, copies and obsolete documents at a workstation and take the correct action.
- Treat NC programs, test software, firmware and models as configuration items with controlled versions.
- Apply the stop, check the controlled source, tell someone routine to configuration mismatches on the floor.
- Answer a customer or auditor configuration question from the record without guessing.
