6、on, space, and defense industry organizations must produce and continually improve safe, reliable products that meet or exceed customer and regulatory requirements. The globalization of the industry and the resulting diversity of requirements and expectations have complicated this objective.This sta

7、ndard is focused on standardizing, to the extent possible, operator self-verification practices in the aviation, space, and defense industry. Establishing common requirements practices should result in improved quality and safety, decreased costs, and elimination or reduction of organization-unique

NOTES 77.1 Revision Indicator 7SAE INTERNATIONAL AS9162 Page 3 of 71. SCOPE1.1 GeneralThis document identifies the basic elemen

11、ts and provides a standard for structuring operator self-verification programs within the aviation, space, and defense industry for producers of commercial and military aircraft and weapons platforms, space vehicles, and all related hardware, software, electronics, engines, and composite components.

12、The requirements specified in this standard are complementary (not alternative) to contractual and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Should there be a conflict between the requirements of this standard and applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, the latter shall take precede

13、nce.1.2 ApplicationOperator self-verification programs are applied to improve the overall efficiency and product quality of processes considered stable and capable of fulfilling all requirements, as determined by the implementing organization. Operator self-verification programs are not stand-alone

14、processes, but augment an existing quality management system. Its application can be made where inspection activities are currently deployed.2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTSThe following documents support the application/use of this standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated

15、references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. When a conflict in requirements between this standard and the applicable documents listed exist, the requirements of this document shall take precedence.2.1 International Aerospace Quality Group Publication

TERMS AND DEFINITIONSFor the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply:3.1 AcceptanceThe establishment of a record t

18、hat signifies verification that the product is compliant with all the specified requirements. In self-verification programs, the organization clearly specifies the detail and extent of the approved operators acceptance authority.3.2 Critical ProcessesThose processes that if not performed properly or

19、 improper parts/material are used could result in a failure, malfunction, or defect endangering the safe operation of the product involved.3.3 Independent SurveillanceObservation/review or audit of operator self-verification by an entity that is not dependent on or affiliated with the entity control

NOTE: Self-verification quali

21、fied individuals should be referred to through terminology considered suitable by the organizations program focus, cultural, and customer environment (e.g., approved operators, approved technicians).3.6 Operator CompetencyA means of objectively determining that identified operators have the necessar

22、y skills and knowledge to undertake the role of self-verification.3.7 Operator Self-VerificationVerification that a product conforms to all applicable requirements by the individual who produced the product.3.8 SurveillanceThe act of careful observation, monitoring, measuring, or verifying:x Operato

23、rs - monitoring operator competence and performance to detect or prevent a noncompliance to established requirements.x Products - validation of products to detect or prevent a noncompliance to established engineering requirements.x Processes - verification that processes are implemented and performe

24、d, as planned.3.9 VerificationConfirmation through the provision of objective evidence that specified requirements have been fulfilled.4. GENERAL4.1 Operator self-verification places formal verification of applicable product quality requirements in the hands of a qualified, competent operator and au

25、gments existing, robust quality management systems to provide continuedsystem and product quality improvement. Formal verification does not imply final verification of product.4.2 Development and implementation of an effective operator self-verification program improves the overall awareness and qua

26、lity culture of the organizations manufacturing department, and promotes greater first pass quality. 4.3 Integration of operator self-verification into the work process results in process and operator performance measures through regular surveillance reviews. These reviews allow the operators to con

27、trol and improve the quality of the products. 4.4 Operator self-verification programs can be implemented on a selective or organization-wide basis. 4.5 Operator self-verification programs highlight operator responsibility and accountability for product quality, promote employee pride of ownership, a

28、nd recognize superior performance.SAE INTERNATIONAL AS9162 Page 5 of 75. FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTSIn addition to a quality management system, the following elements shall be implemented and maintained to support an organizations operator self-verification program:a. Identification of processes eligible

29、for using operator self-verification.b. Development of plans supporting operator self-verification implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement.c. Training and competence of identified operators.d. Development of measures for oversight of operator and process performance.e. Structured mai

30、ntenance of operator self-verification.NOTE: The elements of operator self-verification noted in this section are foundational in establishing a robust program in compliance with this standard.6. PROCESS APPLICATIONA program implementation plan shall include the communication of program objectives a

31、nd intent, development and deployment of associated training, establishment of process performance measures, and the methods for sustaining such operations. Subordinate documentation can be developed and deployed, as deemed necessary, to provide specific or detailed direction/instructions for the wo

32、rk force, management, administrative personnel, program/process records and record retention, etc. 6.1 Identification of Processes Eligible for Operator Self-Verification Application6.1.1 When identifying potential processes for application of operator self-verification, either selectively or at an

33、organization-wide basis, the implementing organization shall consider and select processes based on:a. The demonstrated stability of the process through such methods as first article inspection, performance results, and process generated nonconformities identified during the established process perf

34、ormance review period/cycle time. b. The detectability of product/process nonconformance. 6.1.2 Operator self-verification shall not include those processes considered by the organization, customer, and/or regulatory authorities as “critical processes”, unless adequate mitigation of risk is agreed t

35、o, in place, and proper delegation has been specified.6.1.3 When applying a self-verification program to critical processes, the implementing organization shall consider and select processes based on the acceptable levels of perceived risk associated with the candidate process; a defined process for

36、 risk analysis shall be used.NOTE: The selection of processes is most effective when performed by a multi-disciplined group (e.g., Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering). 6.2 Implementation Plans for Measuring, Monitoring, Managing, and Continuous Improvement of Op

37、erator Self-Verification Programs6.2.1 In developing and implementing plans for operator self-verification, the organization shall include the following:a.
