Avionix Corporation Context of the Organization: (AS9100D 4.2 & 4.1)

1.         Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to define how the company’s Strategic Direction is developed by Corporate through the identification of interested parties, issues or concerns, risks, and opportunities.

1.1       The Vice President has overall responsibility for the Context of the Organization system.
 

2.         Interested Parties 

2.1       “Interested parties” are those stakeholders who receive our products and services as listed in the Avionix Scope. The interested parties applicable to Avionix Corporation are listed in the Risk Register Log, along with the reason for their inclusion. This includes both internal and external parties.

2.2       The identification of an interested party does not necessarily bring that party into the scope of the QMS; for example, Regulatory Bodies and/or Certifications bodies.

AVIONIX INTERESTED PARTIES LIST

3.         Issues of Concern 

3.1       For each interested party, the related issues of concern shall be identified in the Risk Register Log. These issues may reflect direct concerns of the party (for example, customers are concerned about the quality of the products they purchase) or they may be indirect concerns. Such concerns may impact on the interested party, or maybe concerns derived from the party that impacts on Avionix.

3.2       Issues may be either internal or external, depending on whether the interested party is internal or external. In addition, a certain type of party may have both internal and external concerns.

3.3       Avionix will identify internal concerns as necessary. 

3.4       Avionix will identify external concerns, as necessary.  For now, the following are external concerns affecting Avionix are regulatory bodies, certification body, customer, product end user and supply chain issues.  See the Avionix Context of the Organization Log: Interested Parties List, I-223A Avionix Interested Parties List and I-223B for Avionix interested parties issues.

4.         Risk and Opportunities

4.0       Opportunities

4.1       Management will then identify risks and opportunities related to the issues of concern within the Risk Register Log.

4.2       Within the Risk Register Log, each risk and opportunity will be noted, along with the primary process involved, priority, and bias. The “bias” identifies if the issue is a risk, an opportunity, or some blending of the two.

4.3       Management will then determine a treatment method for each risk or opportunity. Risks are managed to reduce their likelihood and consequence, while opportunities are managed to increase their likelihood and consequence. Blended issues may require more complex treatment.

4.4       Where a risk is determined to be treated via a Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) style treatment, these must then be entered into the Risk Register tag within the Risk Register Log.

4.5       Opportunities are managed via the Opportunity Register tab within the Risk Register Log. See I-223C for Avionix Risk Register.

5.         STRATEGIC DIRECTION

5.1       From the information above, the Corporate devises a “strategic direction” which is documented in the records of management review.
