SMEs and the Supply Chain issues and Concerns on Quality Process Multiple audits • Range of qualified auditors • Differing requirements from Primes cost and time taken • Range of systems, part numbers, processes • Military v civil requirements • AECMA General Presentation (PT 106), Chart 4 • Optimum position for SMEs is to get the maximum benefit from AS/EN 9100 approval • Need for uniformity of implementation in the global market • Need for uniform competence in auditors and in methods of application • Forthcoming implementation of EN 9104 is a step in the right direction • Need for recognition of the system by all companies, all countries and regulators 4

SMEs and the Supply Chain issues and Concerns on Quality Process (continued) How should SMEs in development handle the requirement to certify products only through a system house • Experience shows that small countries also have the same issues AECMA General Presentation (PT 106), Chart 5 • 5

Progress Issues raised within AECMA/ASD • Invitation to participate in EAQG/IAQG activity to Equipment Attaché • Appointment of Chris Latham, representative ASD SME Group, as nonvoting member of OPMT Team • Builds on briefings on OASIS etc from Hans Luijt to ASD SME Group • AECMA General Presentation (PT 106), Chart 6 • Should enable a two-way street for information and views • Much better visibility of EAQG/IAQG activities both on policy matters and practical issues 6

EU Aerospace Industry, 2003 Slide 7

SME Questions for the Future Cost Is there a measurable improvement in the quality process. • Will the intended aims of EASE/OASIS be visible at the lower end of the supply chain? • What efforts are required to match the speed of change in the Industry? • AECMA General Presentation (PT 106), Chart 8 • First tier suppliers will need to consider how far down the supply chain they will flow the requirments for AS 9100. è The fact that this presentation is being made demonstrates progress in involving SMEs in the proces 8
