Ft. Wayne IN — Aerospace precision machine shop CNC Industries, Inc. is undergoing a Rapid AS9100 Upgrade Program with Oxebridge Quality Resources. The company is currently certified to ISO 9001:2000 by SGS. Oxebridge’s Rapid Upgrade Program takes an existing, certified system and implements both AS9100 Rev B and Rev C with only ten days of work.
Accredited registrars like SGS are currently prohibited from auditing to AS9100 Revision C, as they await the release of related registrar rules from the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), so Oxebridge has implemented both AS9100 B and C in order to future-proof the company, thereby reducing costs to CNC Industries.
Oxebridge has completed its AS9100 implementation, but third-party certification to the aerospace quality system standard is not expected until after CNC Industries undergoes its next ISO 9001 surveillance audit in March 2010, which will bring the company’s certification in line with the latest ISO 9001:2008 standard. AS9100 certification is expected to be scheduled shortly thereafter.
CNC Industries machines precision and complex parts for commercial and aerospace applications, and is an accredited INC 5000 company for fastest growth. Its customers include BAE Aerospace, Raytheon, General Electric, ITT and Ingersoll Rand. For more on CNC Industries, visit www.cncind.com.
