Variation Management of Key Characteristics
FOREWORD
In December 1998, the Aerospace Industry had established the International Aerospace Quality Group
(IAQG) with the purpose of achieving significant improvements in quality and reductions in cost
throughout the value stream.
anization, with representation from panies in Americas, Asia and Europe and
sponsored by SAE, SJAC, and AECMA has agreed to take responsibility for the technical contents of
this standard.
INTRODUCTION
This Aerospace Standard establishes variation management requirements for Key Characteristics. The
Standard also specifies general requirements and provides a process to achieve those requirements.
The Standard requires a thorough assessment of the part production process with the primary goals
being to control and minimize variation in characteristics being produced by this process.
Specifically, the Standard mandates:
• Understanding process elements that affect Key Characteristics
• Disciplined determination of process Key Characteristics using appropriate analysis tools for variation
control and reduction to satisfy Customer requirements
• Control and capability assessment to ensure variation is well understood
• Process Control Documentation that defines specific control of Key Characteristics and manufacturing
process parameters
