The Quality Horizon Podcast IAQG

Five project management groups can be seen over the lifecycle of a project, sequentially developed with a system approach (interaction and integration between technical and organizational variables): Initiate, Plan, Execute, Close, and Monitor and Control. In this episode, we invited the SCMH Project Management Team to discuss how this work aligns with the IAQG 9145 Standard and some of the frequently asked questions they have addressed: 
1.     Why this team was assembled
2.     If APQP is redundant to existing activities
3.     The value APQP brings to small/medium size companies or projects
4.     The similarities/differences between Project Management and 9145
5.     What part do Project Managers play in the 9145 standard
6.     If 9145 is Quality driven activity or project management-driven activity
7.     How the IAQG supports small and medium size companies 
8.     If it is possible to provide a facilitated version of APQP/PM for small and medium-scale companies new beginners
The Q&A is co-hosted by team lead Pankaj Deo, Associate Director - APQP Excellence, Collins Aerospace, an RTX Business. Pankaj is joined by fellow SCMH Project Management Team members:
·      Amalio Monzon, Head of Digital Quality for Airbus Defence and Space
·      Ivan Banegas, QPM System UK, Airbus Commercial
·      Geoff Charron, PMP/CMB/OE, Senior Business Operations Manager, Avionics for GE Aerospace
·      Doug Truesdail, Supplier Quality Engineering, East Region Major Commodities Lead, Air Vehicle & Mission Systems, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics

Resolution 167, issued on 27 November 2023, effectively requires all certification bodies to begin using the new OASIS database. To help understand what is mandated, we spoke with IAQG’s Certification Oversight Team Lead, Pete Cracknell (BAE Systems).  In addition to understanding why the resolution was issued, Pete pointed out temporary assistance the Team is permitting to help ease the potential backlog of data entry some CBs are faced with. Two notable permissions include allowing others (designated by the CB) to enter data on behalf of an auditor and accepting PDF files in certain instances. Listen today to learn more.

OASIS V3, the latest Online Aerospace Software Information System, has been in operation for a few months. This new version is a re-platforming, so while the work performed is the same, how you use the OASIS platform (and what it looks like) is different. In this episode, we talk to Greg Fontaine (Jaspin Interactive), IAQG Digital Focal, and Jake Lewin, CEO for Intact US – developers of OASIS V3, to understand what users are finding challenging when performing their work. We asked the questions and received answers regarding:  
Initial login complexities Limited or no organization visibility after login.  Limited or no audit detail visibility after login Obtaining access rights for an organization  How to open a ticket We also asked our guests if they have seen actions users are doing that have led to errors or issues on the new platform. Take a listen.

In this episode of The Quality Horizon, we’re joined by Alan Daniels and Buddy Cressionnie to talk about the 9100 series standard.
The podcast focuses on key insights into the ongoing development and revisions of the 9100 series. 
Highlights involve the collaborative efforts, key changes, and tools available to organizations such as AIMM. 
They highlight the shift towards a single Standards Developer Organization (SDO) for 9100 to streamline the standard development process. They also note that the 9100 team is actively collaborating with ISO Technical Committee 176, which develops ISO 9001.
Listen in for the latest update.
