FTI is proud to be one of the first aerospace suppliers
to receive accreditation to the new requirements of ISO
9001:2000/AS9100 Rev. B. This re-certification of our Quality
Management System was awarded by TUV USA Inc. in January
of 2007. In meeting these requirements, our customers
are assured that the products and services they receive
from FTI will be free of defects and will comply with
internationally accepted aerospace quality standards.
The ISO 9001:2000/AS9100
certification was established to standardize worldwide
aerospace quality expectations and to achieve significant
improvements in reducing costs throughout the value
stream or supply chain. This includes provisions for
regulatory requirements and the importance of safe reliability
and maintainability. In today’s marketplace, aerospace
customers are putting more pressure on their
suppliers to be in compliance with these standards.
FTI has always been committed
to continuous improvement of our products, processes
and services. In 1996, we adopted the ISO 9001 (and
subsequent upgrade to ISO 9001:2000 rev. B) international standard
designed to provide companies and organizations with
a common approach to applying a Quality Management System.
In August of 2001, AS9100 was introduced to include
additional quality system requirements for suppliers
to the aerospace industry and is now approved by aerospace
companies in Asia and Europe as well.
