Hi, I have been hired to implement a QMS at a local fabrication/machine shop. The owner has been told by some people that he can not get into the Aerospace and Defense world of manufacturing without being registered to AS9100. I have done quite a bit of research and it seems that there are only a handfull of primes that actually "Require" AS9100. It looks to me as if a good 80% of them will accept ISO9000. Am I correct in this? Also, our current customer base is more driven by ISO then AS and I am hearing rumors that AS9100 is currently being revised. I guess my question is, If I go for an ISO QMS first, can I still pursue Aerospace and Defense contracts? Then when the new revision of AS 9100 is released, pursue that as an upgrade?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
