AS-9100 IMPLEMENTATION

Outline Trident Industries overview Life before AS-9100 Implementation of AS-9100 Life with AS-9100

Trident Industries Inc. Machining & assembly of mechanical components 90+ qualified personnel 5000 sq. meters climate controlled Montreal based

Trident Industries Inc. Landing Gear components Flight controls manifold Aircraft/Rotorcraft structural components

Life before AS-9100 Multitude of approval standards MIL standards AQAP standards Customer standards ISO-9001 standard

Implementation of AS-9100 Standardization of quality system on one standard alone satisfying the aerospace requirements AS-9100 to become daily way of life Integration of all faces of the production cycle into a complete purpose designed Trident Manufacturing Management Control

Life with AS-9100 Focus & commitment of employees to meet defined objectives Quality is every single employee’s responsibility Effectivity of processes insured through internal audit Integration of all manufacturing processes into single database Improvement of monitoring by employees & management
