AS9100 & ISO 9001 Implementation
Gap analysis to certification. We build a right-sized system your team will actually use.
Aerospace & Defense Quality Management
Primara Quality Consulting pairs hands-on AS9100 expertise with a modern QMS platform — so your documentation, records, and metrics are inspection-ready every day, not just the week before an audit.
What we do
We help aerospace and defense manufacturers build, certify, and sustain a quality management system — then hand you a platform that makes it effortless to maintain.
Gap analysis to certification. We build a right-sized system your team will actually use.
Mock audits, internal audit programs, and corrective-action coaching that survives the CB visit.
Stand up the Primara QMS, migrate your controlled documents, and train your team end to end.
Supplier approval, SCARs, and closed-loop corrective action that actually prevents recurrence.
The Primara QMS Platform
Purpose-built for aerospace and defense machine shops. Every record is linked, controlled, and inspection-ready by default.
Click any capability to see an example of how it works →
Controlled document revisions, electronic signatures, and a tamper-evident audit trail on every action.
View example →Quotes, orders, NPI/FAI, CNC programs, NCRs, and CARs are linked — full traceability without the spreadsheets.
View example →Drawing risk analysis, guided FMEAs, and a rules engine that flags issues before they become escapes.
View example →AS9102 First Article, PPAP, DPAS rated-order and ITAR awareness, plus secure external exchange.
View example →Tiered document hierarchy, read-and-understand acknowledgements, and a live training matrix.
View example →FPY, on-time delivery, COPQ, and quality objectives roll up into a ready-made management review.
View example →Built for you
The Primara QMS isn't a rigid, take-it-or-leave-it program you have to reshape your operation around. We configure it to the way your shop actually runs — your workflows, your terminology, your part numbering, and your approval routing — so the system fits what you do instead of forcing you to fit it. You get the best system for your process, not whatever happened to come in the box.
Forms, routing, roles, and terminology are tailored to how your team already works — not a generic template you have to bend around.
Start with what you need today and switch on modules as you scale — from document control to full digital-thread traceability.
Mapped to the standards your customers and auditors expect — shaped to your specific requirements, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Industries we serve
Aerospace and defense is our home turf — but the same connected, audit-ready system is just as at home in oil & gas and API shops. If you run to a standard, we can shape Primara around it.
Why Primara
Primara isn't a generic software vendor bolting a "quality" label onto a database. Our system was forged on the shop floor of a real aerospace machine shop — by the people who lived the audits, the escapes, and the 2 a.m. corrective actions.
"The goal isn't to pass the audit. The goal is a system so clean that the audit is a formality."
How we engage
Gap analysis against AS9100/ISO 9001 and a plain-English roadmap with priorities.
Build the documented system and stand up the Primara QMS around your real processes.
Link records, wire up the rules engine, and replace manual tracking with a digital thread.
Internal audits, management review, and continuous improvement that keep you audit-ready.

Primara QMS · Example view
Every controlled document carries its revision, an electronic signature, and a tamper-evident history of who did what and when — so you're inspection-ready without scrambling.
Records aren't islands. From a nonconformance you can click straight back to the drawing, CNC program, order, and FAI that produced the part — full traceability, no spreadsheets.
| Characteristic | Failure mode | Sev | Suggested control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø.750 ±.001 bore | Oversize / taper | 8 | CMM verification + SPC |
| Position .005 Ⓜ | True position out | 6 | First article + fixture |
| Ra 32 finish | Surface finish NC | 4 | In-process check |
Upload a drawing and the QMS proposes the failure modes, severity, and controls — then the rules engine enforces the right checks so issues are caught before they become escapes.
The modules aerospace & defense shops actually need are built in — AS9102 FAI, PPAP, DPAS rated-order priority, ITAR handling, and encrypted external exchange with MFA.

Tiered document hierarchy plus a live training matrix means competency is always current and provable — a favorite of AS9100 auditors.
FPY, on-time delivery, COPQ, and quality objectives are tracked live and assemble themselves into a ready-to-present management review.
