Upload by Lute

This gap analysis checklist evaluates an organization’s Quality Management System (QMS) against AS 9100 Rev D, mapping the aerospace standard’s clauses to ISO 9001:2015 requirements plus additional ASD industry expectations. Each requirement is presented as an auditor question to confirm current implementation, compliance status, completion percentage, and improvement items. The checklist also guides scope definition, documentation and evidence review, and recording where processes exist versus where documentation must be developed. The audit output becomes an action list to achieve AS 9100 Rev D conformity.

INSERT COMPANY NAME/LOGO HERE AS 9100 Rev D-Quality Management Systems – Over ISO 9001:2015-The Gap Analysis Checklist This gap analysis checklist is prepared for use in evaluating a Quality Management System (QMS) against the requirements of the new Aerospace standard. The AS 9100 Rev D standard includes the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and specifies additional aviation, space, and defense (ASD) industry requirements. In the checklist, each requirement is expressed as a question that the user (auditor / assessor) can use to evaluate your QMS capabilities. You will need to have copies of the AS 9100 D and ISO 9001:2015 standards to use along with this checklist so that, if required, you can refer to the requirements and the clarification sections of Annex A. While the structure of the AS and ISO standards at the same when comparing the contents, the additional ASD requirements are highlighted in yellow in the relevant sections of the checklist and the intent of the main clauses of the new standard is shown in blue font. After you have prepared an audit schedule, and assigned responsibility to your auditors for different areas or processes to audit, copy each section of the checklist for the auditors working with that section. As you work through the checklist take notes on what is in place, and what needs to be developed. In the space for ‘currently in place’, list or reference the procedures or other documents , or evidence that you have reviewed and that will provide information for the new QMS. Take notes on the status of the documents, that is, will they need to be revised for the new system, or can they be used as is? Also note where processes are in place, but documentation is needed. Focus on what is in place, and what needs to be developed. While you do want to know if documented information is in place and if procedures and processes are being complied with, compliance is not your main focus for this audit. Remember that the final outcome of this audit should be a list of things that your company needs to do to comply with AS 9100 Rev D. | --- | QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS | Currently
