With fear of stating the obvious, this podcast is about "calibration control" for general mechanical engineering and precision machining.

The podcast includes hints and tips for the avoidance of audit non-conformances.

Most organizations will have very good calibration control internally, although sometimes fail to manage external calibration service providers and accredited calibration laboratories.

This podcast is a gentle reminder not to assume calibration is compliant in the hands of external service providers... Look at the scope of your calibration service providers accreditation schedule.

Consider your customer contract obligations and requirements and then double check this against the calibration laboratory.

Some will claim ISO 9001 certification for the calibration service; this is the management of the calibration service and not always the control of the calibration itself.

The use of a UKAS accredited calibration laboratory is the safe bet (or other ISO 17025 accredited laboratory), but always confirm the scope of your chosen laboratory.

Course History

Our “remote training” course – is all about AS 9100 and aerospace quality management "best practice" and "quality management" audit methodologies. Originally developed for our consultancy project clients, based on the need for practical understanding and not just talking about AS 9100 clause headings, but actual explanation about technical implementation in context with the organizational requirements.

The course is divided over 4 x sessions, throughout 1 x day.

Unlike many other AS 9100 training courses, our “remote training” course program is delivered by true practitioners with an unchallenged reputation of ensuring Certification success.

The course program provides a unique blend of practical implementation advice against those awkward clauses of the AS 9100 – providing proven examples when required.

We understand what the Certification Body requires from you to achieve AS 9100. Therefore, our primary focus is ensuring you successful development and implementation, through to compliance. We pride ourselves on delivering expertise for both improvement and technical compliance – we stand or fall by the quality of our AS 9100 training.

Course Objectives

Our “remote training” course program is dynamic and encourages complete delegate participation. All delegates are asked to provide us with a series of questions in advance of attending the course, relevant to specific needs to ensure we balance the course to the group – and answer your specific questions.

Our “remote training” is aimed at those already familiar with the requirements of "quality management systems". In addition, fir those seeking to have a better understanding of the aerospace and defence sector requirements - all your questions will be answered with a “no-nonsense” example to support compliance.

80% OF NCR'S CAN BE DIRECTLY TRACED TO WEAK REVIEW OF CUSTOMER CONTRACTS & TENDERS.

Quality management systems require some basic ingredients to ensure effectiveness. One of the primary ingredients is "contract review" for AS 9100, ISO 9001 and ISO 17025.

Keeping in mind that 80% of an organizations poor performance, can be traced to a poorly controlled "contract review" process. Due to the lack of? Yes, you've guessed it, due to the lack of "review of the contract detail".

Or not reviewing the contract terms and conditions for technical and quality requirements and commercial obligations.

Customer complaints, supplier issues, in-process reworking, late delivery, etc. can almost all be attributed to those involved with contract review. Those unfortunate individuals that are either under pressure, under resourced or under qualified for the task.

This podcast will simply highlight the requirements for the management and administration of sales order processing and effective quality control of your customer needs.
