We will also be posting information on our web site as we firm up the details. AS9100's Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) Scheme needs improvement, according to recent article This month's issue of Quality Digest features a very timely article by DNV's Sidney Vianna, in which he outlines the most pressing concerns with the current ICOP model. Vianna points to shortfalls in some common practices of Certification Bodies (CBs) that could lead to a lessening of confidence by stakeholders and a crumbling of the ICOP System. It is important for professionals at all levels of the industry to be aware of the current issues surrounding AS9100 certification and take an active role to improve the industry's performance. For the last three years, the PNAA has been actively involved in helping companies understand the issues and get involved to address the concerns expressed in this article. Click below to read Vianna's article in Quality Digest. Once you have read the story, click here to contact John Graham (PNAA Board Member) to learn more about getting involved. Read article
