An Integrated Modelling Method for Assessment of Manufacturing Quality Systems Applied to Aerospace Manufacturing Supply Chains

摘要

The release of AS/EN9100:2009 standards will force many enterprises and suppliers to demonstrate enhanced quality compliant in order to obtain long term competitiveness in the aerospace global supply chain. The new standard provides the framework for developing and formulating innovative novel business models which become the foundation to build a competitive, customer-centric sustainable enterprise. Various enterprise modelling methods have been developed in recent years so as to offer support for enterprise design and help specify systems requirements and solutions. However, those techniques are not efficient in providing sufficient support for quality systems assessment and development. Changes to the standards had left the implementation parts of the processes linked to the standards remaining ambiguous. Using IDEF-Q as a modelling technique, this research strives to integrate with the new AS/EN9100 quality elements through the systematic integration approach which can help the enterprises in business re-engineering process. The assessment capability model is also presented to identify impacts on the existing system as a result of introducing new standards.
