My bug with AS9145 is not the process, I do like it. My concern is how businesses are bringing in automotive 'lean' experts into Aerospace companies and thus applying controlled conditions for SPC, MSA etc etc..
making 10000000 widgets in an automotive organisation is perfect for these analysis tools but trying to apply the same methodology to a complicated machined and processed item with a batch number of 3 is pointless and the fancy bell curves, control charts tell you nothing about the control of a process, there is just not enough continual data and not enough error variability calculation considered....
I am all in on working with automotive experts in aerospace to understand how we can apply the right techniques to assess process control and conformity but it would be good if the automotive types could be a little more understanding of complex low production product.
Ok, probably not the best forum to have a little gripe, but it certainly felt good..
