# AS9100 Quality Management (manufacturing-quality/as9100/quality)

Use when the task is aerospace quality management per AS9100: clause
scoping, audit evidence, and corrective-action closure for the
aviation, space, and defense QMS.

## Domain quick reference

- AS9100 builds on ISO 9001:2015 and adds aerospace clauses:
  operational risk, configuration management, product safety,
  counterfeit prevention, external providers, and special processes.
- Audits demonstrate the QMS against the clauses with evidence
  artifacts; the evidence set is confirmed with the auditor's plan.
- A corrective action closes a nonconformance only when the record
  carries containment, root cause, and corrective action.
- Counterfeit prevention (8.1.4) and product safety (8.1.3) are the
  aerospace-specific focus areas auditors probe first.

## Workflow

1. Scope the audit or QMS improvement area.
2. Map the focus to the aerospace clause.
3. Assemble the minimum evidence artifacts for that clause.
4. Track nonconformances; close records only when containment, root
   cause, and corrective action are recorded.
5. Confirm the evidence set and closure criteria with the QMS
   documentation and the auditor's plan.

## Pitfalls

- Evidence without a clause mapping (no audit linkage).
- Closing a nonconformance with corrective action but no root cause.
- Counterfeit prevention reduced to a policy statement with no
  supplier declarations or quarantine records.
- Assuming AS9100 clauses without the ISO 9001:2015 base.

## Behavior contract (gate 3)

The clause-scoping, evidence, and corrective-action logic is exercised
by the gate 3 contract test: scripts/test_quality.py against
scripts/quality_logic.py (stdlib unittest, offline). Run:
python3 scripts/test_quality.py

## Compliance

- Standards referenced, not reproduced: AS9100 text is proprietary
  (IAQG/SAE); summary-only per standards-map.yaml and brief 06.
- compliance: STANDARDS-REF, gated: false.
