Why AS9100-D AND ISO9001:2015?

Written By Emily Wilkins
AS9100-D and ISO 9001:2015 Certifications

Why Big Rock Maintains Both Certifications

Big Rock Manufacturing’s jet division achieved the aerospace quality system; AS9100 Rev. B certification in 2010, and is currently certified to AS9100 Rev D. 

We also maintain ISO9001:2015 certification. Why both? At Big Rock and in the aerospace industry, the minimum, or status quo is not enough. Our customers expect and get more.

After some introspection about who we are, defining our Core Values (two of which are Growth and Integrity), and looking at our customers and the opportunities they are chasing, we committed to getting certified to AS9100 Rev D. and ISO 9001:2015 in order to bridge the gap and meet the distinct needs of both our aerospace customers and our beloved non-aerospace customers.

Many of our OEMs and defense customers recognize ISO as their industry standard, while aerospace defends an “ISO plus” or an “ISO on steroids” expectation when it comes to quality systems.

Both systems ensure predictable quality, traceability, and efficiency. Our certification to both standards marks a proactive, forward-leaning approach to improving our systems in a way that will meet our customers’ needs and requirements.

We are leaning forward in other ways such as the move towards CMMC from NIST compliance and our continued commitment to uphold ITAR, EAR, and DPAS requirements in support of the protected nature of our projects.

I’m on a mission to help job shops crush their marketing by building them a Radical brand that’s authentic to who they are and magnetic to those they want to attract.

My process empowers them to market their businesses simply and effectively without spending a fortune or wasting countless hours on social media.

Sharp, Shiny & Magnetic is how I operate. I believe that whatever energy you put out into the world, it has a ripple effect that consumes you and everyone around you, so I’m committed to making it the good kind.

I use my shiny disposition and sharp wit to help you source and shape your METAL–the stuff that makes your shop magnetic to the kinds of humans you want to have around you. I ask hard questions and go deep with my customers so that I can not only build them a Radical brand but help them OWN it and recognize their own Radicalness.
