“We won a defense or aerospace contract and need AS9100.”
The contract you have been chasing is finally yours. Now the clock is running on AS9100 — and production cannot stop while the quality system catches up.
Request a Situation ReviewWhat you're facing
- The contract requires AS9100 certification on a deadline that will not move.
- Your ISO 9001 system (if you have one) does not cover aerospace requirements like configuration management, product safety, counterfeit parts prevention, or first article inspection.
- Production has to keep running while the system is built around it.
- Customer flow-downs and special requirements are landing faster than you can read them.
What it's costing you
- The contract itself — and the follow-on work it was supposed to unlock.
- Credibility with a new prime or customer who is watching how you perform.
- Overtime, distraction, and risk to delivery while people learn the standard on the fly.
The Exceleor Path, tailored to your situation
We map AS9100 against what you already do, close the aerospace-specific gaps first, and build the system alongside production — so certification and delivery happen together.
