AS 9100 D Management Review Toolkit

Your management review probably covers ISO 9001. The question worth asking is whether it covers the two things AS9100D adds.

Rev D reproduces ISO 9001:2015 at Clause 9.3 and adds exactly two requirements: on-time delivery performance as a review input at 9.3.2 c) 8), and decisions and actions related to risks identified as an output at 9.3.3 d). Neither exists in ISO 9001. Both are routinely missing from aerospace reviews, for a structural reason — the deck was adapted from a 9001 deck, and there was nothing in the source to adapt them from.

This toolkit is two artifacts that share one spine: a presentation you run the meeting from and a minutes form that becomes the record. Twenty-three numbered sections, identical in both, so the presenter and the recorder are never on different items. Every section names the requirement it satisfies, and the sections that go beyond the clause say so rather than pretending to be requirements.

What's included

• Management review deck — 47 slides, editable PowerPoint. Section slides carry what to bring, a placed data area, and an MSI note on how the requirement is usually answered badly.
• Management review minutes form — 16 pages, editable Word. Discussion and conclusions recorded separately, action items with one named person and one date, and a consolidated action register at the back.
• Section 12 — On-Time Delivery Performance. The AS9100D input with no ISO 9001 counterpart, presented by customer across two periods with lateness split by cause. Anchored to 9.3.2 c) 8) and to 5.1.1 d), where top management is accountable for acting when the target is missed.
• Section 19 — Decisions and Actions Related to Risks Identified. The fourth output ISO 9001 does not have.
• Aerospace prompts inside the sections they belong to — configuration management (8.1.2), product safety (8.1.3), counterfeit part prevention (8.1.4), and human factors in cause determination (10.2.1 b) 2)) — flagged as aerospace-specific rather than presented as Clause 9.3 inputs.
• Ten worked example slides using a fictional aerospace supplier, each labeled and built to be replaced. The examples interlock: a missed delivery traces to a process, and that process traces to a resource decision.
• Document control on every slide, applied through the slide master so it cannot be dropped from a slide added later, plus a cover record identity block: organization, period covered, date held, called by, recorded by, and your own record reference.
• Terms used in this review — plain-language explanations of the five terms AS9100D defines at Clause 3 that ISO 9000 does not, so the review runs without a copy of the standard open alongside it.
• Before you hold this review — what feeds each section, and what to do when you do not have it.
• Before the minutes are issued — four checks against the failures that actually get raised.

It satisfies ISO 9001:2015 as well

Because AS9100D contains ISO 9001:2015 in full, one review run from this toolkit produces the record for both certificates. Every ISO 9001 Clause 9.3 requirement — all six inputs, all three outputs, the retention obligation, and the four terms at 9.3.1 — is discharged in a numbered section in both files. The two AS9100D-only sections are labeled as having no ISO 9001 equivalent, so nothing here can be mistaken for a 9001 obligation by an auditor working from the 9001 checklist.

Who it's for

Quality managers, program managers, and consultants at AS9100 certified or certifying organizations in aviation, space and defense — including the many that hold ISO 9001 on the same certificate. Particularly useful where the review deck was inherited, where it has grown past ninety slides of example data nobody reads, or where the presentation and the minutes have drifted apart and no longer reconcile.

Why it is different

• The deck and the form are the same document. Section 14 in the meeting is Section 14 in the record. That sounds obvious until you check the pair you are using now.
• It is a record the moment it is completed. The cover says so plainly, and the document control block is built for it. A completed deck is documented information a third-party registrar will read.
• Nothing is presented as a requirement that is not one. Sections beyond Clause 9.3 are marked "MSI addition — good practice, not a clause requirement." Keeping them is a choice you make knowingly.
• Trimmed, not padded. Twenty-three sections and ten worked examples, not a hundred slides of survey charts belonging to somebody else's company.

Editable .pptx and .docx, delivered on purchase. No subscription. Replace the bracketed placeholders and the deck is yours — the fictional example organization appears only on the labeled worked-example slides.

Questions

Is this built to AS9100D, or to IA9100?
AS9100 Rev D, issued September 2016, which is the edition organizations are certified to today. The IAQG is revising the 9100 series and rebranding it IA9100, aligned with the next ISO 9001 edition; publication is expected in late 2026 and certified organizations will have a transition period after that. Nothing in this toolkit becomes wrong when IA9100 publishes — the review still has to happen, and the record still has to be retained.

We are certified to AS9100 and ISO 9001 on one certificate. Do we need both toolkits?
No. This one covers both. Every ISO 9001 Clause 9.3 requirement is addressed here, and the two AS9100D additions are marked as additions.

Does this replace our management review procedure?
No, and neither standard requires you to have one as a separate document — though your planned interval has to be stated somewhere. This is the agenda and the record, not the procedure that governs them.

Can we delete the sections that do not apply this period?
Present them and record "considered, no change this period" with the reason. A deleted section removes the evidence that top management considered the input, which is the finding, not the omission.

How much of it do we have to rewrite?
The worked example slides, which are labeled and grouped for exactly that reason. The section structure, clause anchors, prompts and notes are built to be kept.
