MANUFACTURING GLOSSARY / AS9100

AS9100: Aerospace quality management standard

AS9100 is an aerospace-sector quality management standard used by organizations across aviation, space, and defense supply chains.

What it means in manufacturing

Software can support controlled work, records, traceability, review, and retrieval, but certification applies to an organization and its audited quality management system, not to an ERP page.

A question to use in evaluation

Which customer, contract, process, record, approval, and retention requirements must the proposed workflow support?

Keep the label and the evidence separate

Category terms describe a type of work; they do not establish what a specific software release, configuration, integration, or customer process can do. Test the proposed boundary with representative records, responsible owners, failure cases, and written acceptance criteria.

Your next step

Test the definition against your operation.

Use a real workflow to determine where the record lives, who decides, and what evidence the proposed scope must retain.

Necessary technology is always active because it provides security and remembers this choice.
