AS9100 Audits Shouldn't Take Weeks to Prepare For.
Your Quality Data Is Scattered Across Binders, Emails, and Spreadsheets
For aerospace and defence manufacturers, quality is not a department — it is the licence to operate. Yet most ERPs treat quality as an afterthought, leaving your team to manage non-conformances in spreadsheets, track first article inspection records in shared drives, and reconstruct traceability manually before every AS9100 audit.
The cost is not just the audit prep time. A single non-conformance escaping to a prime contractor can cost far more than the part itself — in rework, customer penalties, and reputational damage. Epicor Kinetic embeds AS9100-aligned quality control directly into the production workflow so that compliance is automatic, not a last-minute scramble.

“Our AS9100 audit used to take two weeks of prep work. With Epicor Kinetic, we pulled every record the auditor needed in under an hour. First article inspection records, NCR history, supplier certs — all in one place. It was the smoothest audit we have ever had.”
