Aerospace heat treatment and hard coatings specialist, Wallwork Cambridge, has just received its AS9100 Rev D certificate and in so doing become one the first few dozen UK companies to make the transition. All companies working within the aerospace sector must be in compliance with the revision by September 2018. Works manager Andy Fox says: “Preparing for the transition has been a massive effort by all the team, and especially by quality manager Adam Yates who joined us in Cambridge from the Bury site just six months before the audit.”
Site director, Simeon Collins, adds: “Aerospace orders are rising and it is vital that we continue to meet the necessarily stringent quality standards of the industry. Revision D includes additional requirements for product risk systems, traceability and mitigating counterfeit parts. Interestingly, it also extends into ethical sourcing and business context, taking it beyond quality and day-to-day management.”
