Background on AS 9100:
SAE AS9100: The International Aerospace Quality System Standard, Revision B is the revised standard available for use across the global aerospace community. It adds the additional requirements necessary to address both civil and military aviation and aerospace needs. It is now an internationally recognized aerospace standard for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation and servicing. It succeeds the AS9000 standard and is the first single standard accepted by and available for use across the global aerospace community. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that your organization will consistently provide products or services that meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements, and that your organization will enhance customer satisfaction by being effective in your operation and continually improving them. The current version is the accepted standard and includes the ISO 9001 standard verbatim with supplemental requirements for the Aerospace Industry. Areas that are not covered specifically by this standard are: accounting, finance and personnel. Human resources such as hiring and training are covered though.
Effective December 2003, Boeing is requiring all Boeing suppliers to be Boeing's Quality Management System (BQMS ) approved or have a waiver. AS9100 is a significant part of Boeing's BQMS requirements.

2/ AS 9100 Desk audit:
If your company has internal resources (management representative, QA Manager/Supervisor) and needs exacts guidance on what needs to be done, we offer desk audits that will help you comply with the standard you choose at minimal cost. We basically review all your operational documentation to identify any requirements not being met. You will need to send us a copy of your QA Manual or policies (Level 1), procedures (Level 2), and your organizational chart for a thorough audit/review on our part. The review will be under non-disclosure agreement and will maintain full confidentiality. We will then issue a detailed checklist of the modifications your system requires to comply with AS 9100. The checklist will be very specific to what needs to be done. We will also provide you with templates for the QA Manual (Level 1), a Continual Improvement Plan, and an Internal Audit Checklist that you can customize to meet the new requirements of the standard. Once the modifications are made, you will need to implement the changes in accordance with the recommendations in the report.
The Desk Audit is available in English, French, German and Spanish.
