Aerospace Supplier 8D — AS9100 Compliant Corrective ...

Aerospace 8D Overview Aerospace suppliers face some of the most stringent quality requirements in manufacturing. AS9100 (the aerospace extension of ISO 9001) and AS13100 (AESQ Supplier Quality Requirements) mandate structured problem-solving with specific aerospace-only requirements beyond IATF 16949. This guide maps the standard 8D methodology to aerospace-specific requirements including First Article Inspection (AS9102), escape factor analysis, and airworthiness authority notification. AS9100 Clause Mapping to 8D AS9100 Clause 8D Discipline Aerospace-Specific Requirement 8.7 Control of Nonconforming Outputs D0 Segregate, contain, notify customer within 24h 10.2.1 Nonconformity and Corrective Action D1-D3 Cross-functional team with design authority 8.5.1 Control of Production D2 Trace to specific work order, shift, machine, operator 10.2.1(b) Root Cause D4 Must identify both direct cause and systemic cause 8.5.6 Control of Changes D3, D6 Any process change requires customer approval 8.4.3 Supplier Monitoring D7 Flow down corrective action to sub-tier suppliers 10.2.1(f) Effectiveness D5 Verified with statistical evidence over ≥30 consecutive parts 9.1.2 Customer Satisfaction D8 Formal customer sign-off required for closure Aerospace-Specific Requirements Beyond Automotive First Article Inspection (AS9102) After any corrective action that changes the manufacturing process, a delta FAI (or full FAI) must be performed per AS9102. The FAI verifies that the corrected process produces conforming...
