AS9138 – Statistical Product Acceptance for Aerospace Applications
This course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of AS9138 – Statistical Product Acceptance Requirements, equipping professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to transition from traditional 100% inspection to data-driven, statistically valid product acceptance methods.
Designed specifically for aerospace and high-reliability industries, this training integrates statistical fundamentals, process capability analysis, risk-based decision making, and AS9100-aligned quality system requirements. Students will learn not only how to interpret AS9138, but how to successfully implement it within their organization to improve efficiency while maintaining compliance and product integrity.
The course begins with a strong foundation in statistical process control (SPC), measurement system analysis (MSA), capability analysis (Cpk, Ppk, Z), and non-normal data interpretation, ensuring students can properly evaluate process stability and performance. It then progresses into the core requirements of AS9138, including process validation, sampling application, risk management, ongoing monitoring, and reversion criteria.
Real-world case studies and application-based exercises are incorporated throughout the course to reinforce learning and ensure students are prepared to apply these concepts in an aerospace manufacturing environment.
Who Should Attend:
- Quality Engineers and Managers
- Supplier Quality Engineers (SQE)
- Manufacturing and Process Engineers
- Reliability Engineers (CRE)
- AS9100-certified organizations and suppliers
- Professionals responsible for inspection, sampling, and process validation
What You Will Gain:
- A clear understanding of when and how statistical product acceptance can be applied
- The ability to evaluate process stability and capability for AS9138 eligibility
- Knowledge of how to reduce inspection costs without increasing risk
- Practical guidance on obtaining customer approval for statistical acceptance
- Confidence in applying AS9138 within an AS9100-compliant quality management system
Estimated Completion Time: ~80 hours
This course is designed to ensure that students not only understand the requirements of AS9138, but are fully prepared to implement statistical product acceptance with confidence in real-world aerospace applications.
