  #20: AS9100 and IA9100 Aerospace Compliance | Audit Readiness

  Jul 17, 202626 minS1

  In this second installment of our AS9100 discussion, aerospace quality auditor and consultant Mike Varney returns to help manufacturers prepare for the upcoming revision of the standard. Rather than treating the change as a documentation exercise, Mike focuses on where auditors are expected to look harder — product safety, counterfeit and sub-tier controls, and the credibility of your data — and gives practical, proportional guidance for meeting those expectations without building new bureaucracy. He wraps with a six-step approach to validating a real production process and a reminder that a working system always beats a well-written one.Guest: Mike Varney, Mike Varney Quality Management SolutionsGuest Website: Mike Varney Quality Management Solutions (mvarneyqms.com)Whether you're certified to AS9100 today or preparing for IA9100, this episode offers actionable guidance to help your organization improve compliance, traceability, supplier quality, and operational effectiveness.Chapters:00:00 IA9100 Update: More Than a Name Change00:39 Product Safety Expectations Under IA910003:41 Integrating Product Safety Into Your Existing QMS04:55 Counterfeit Parts Prevention & Supplier Documentation08:58 Understanding Sub-Tier Supplier Controls14:14 Data Credibility, KPIs & Auditor Expectations17:44 Why First Article Inspection Isn't Enough20:06 Six Practical Steps for Production Process Validation23:30 Final Advice for Aerospace ManufacturersLearn how QT9 QMS helps aerospace manufacturers strengthen compliance, improve supplier oversight, manage risk, and maintain complete traceability with an integrated cloud-based Quality Management System.

  19: IA9100 Is Getting Real: AS9100 Leadership, Culture, and Cybersecurity

  Jul 17, 202625 minS1

  IA 9100 may have started as a name-change conversation, but this episode is really about evidence. Can your aerospace QMS prove that procedures are working where risk actually lives?In this QT9 Q-Cast episode, Christian Reyes brings Mike Varney back to discuss the expected transition from AS9100 to IA 9100, how ISO 9001:2026 may fit into the picture, and why aerospace companies should prepare without assuming they need to rewrite their entire quality management system. Mike explains that the more meaningful shift may be around defensible objective evidence: proving quality culture, ethical behavior, leadership accountability, data-driven decisions, and information security controls in a way that can hold up in an audit.The conversation also addresses a common question for aerospace suppliers: will companies need one transition plan or two if ISO 9001 changes before IA 9100 is finalized? Mike explains why AS9100 has historically been built on ISO 9001 and why IA 9100 is expected to follow that same foundation.You'll also hear practical discussion around QMS data protection, remote work, customer and regulatory information, access controls, multi-factor authentication, backups, and why "IT handles that" may not be enough in a future audit environment.Guest: Mike Varney, Mike Varney Quality Management SolutionsGuest Website: Mike Varney Quality Management Solutions (mvarneyqms.com)Follow QT9 Q-Cast for more practical conversations on quality, compliance, audit readiness, and operational excellence.Learn More: qt9software.com/go/youtube#QT9QCast #AS9100 #IA9100#ISO9001 #AerospaceQuality #QualityManagement#QMS #AuditReadiness #QualityCulture#InformationSecurity #SupplierQuality #ComplianceOperations

  Change Control: Handle Regulatory Transitions Without Breaking Your QMS

  Jun 16, 202621 minS1

  When regulatory requirements change, many organizations rush into unnecessary QMS updates, creating confusion, inconsistency, and audit risk. In this episode of the QT9 Q-Cast, Christian Reyes sits down with Phil Guarino, VP of Quality at SCIE Solutions, to discuss how quality leaders can take a controlled, risk-based approach to regulatory and standards changes.Drawing from decades of experience in regulated industries, Phil explains why panic-driven reactions often create more problems than they solve, how to perform effective gap assessments, and why leadership involvement is critical to successful compliance initiatives. The conversation also explores practical lessons from QMSR implementation, risk-based thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and maintaining audit readiness during periods of change.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: Regulatory Change and QMS Challenges01:02 Why Companies Overreact to New Requirements02:44 The Biggest Mistake Quality Teams Make03:38 What Breaks First During Poorly Managed Changes04:45 Leadership vs. Quality: Who Owns Regulatory Response?06:53 First Steps Before Updating SOPs08:01 Building a Mature Response to Regulatory Change15:16 Audit Insights and Discovering QT917:29 Three Actions Every Quality Leader Should TakeLearn how QT9’s integrated, cloud-based Quality Management Software helps regulated manufacturers streamline compliance, manage change control, maintain audit readiness, and connect quality processes across the organization.
