What the drawing demands
AS9100 (current revision AS9100D) is the quality standard for the aerospace supply chain, above ISO 9001, with mandatory material traceability to heat or lot level. Every new or changed production, such as a new machine, fixture, tool, material supplier, or a production gap of more than two years, requires a first-article inspection under AS9102: each characteristic on the drawing is recorded with a measured value, across three forms (part, material, dimensional).
What the model learns here
In this sector the model is learning to connect which characteristic on the drawing requires a first-article inspection, and which face or dimension carries a material certificate. Blake proposes these links for review, traceable to the inputs they came from. The measured value from an AS9102 form is exactly the kind of outcome the model is designed to learn from; confirmed operation with a connected pilot shop remains a direction.
What the model learns here can be traced back to the lot that proved it.
Who this matters to
Reads which characteristics require a first-article inspection under AS9102, and confirms or corrects the links Blake proposes.
Plans the heat- and lot-traceable process a new or changed production run requires before a first article can be submitted.
Owns the cost and schedule risk of a missed AS9102 requirement: a failed first article delays the whole production gap.
Runs the AS9102 first-article inspection itself; Blake points to where a requirement sits, the inspection and its record remain the quality system's.
Where this model can help
Linking first-article characteristics
A characteristic from an AS9102 inspection is proposed as linked to the face or dimension on the drawing it comes from, for the estimator to confirm.
Tracing material certificates
Heat and lot notes are shown with the same traceability as any other requirement: measured, derived, assumed or unconfirmed.
Measured value as a future outcome, direction
An AS9102 measured value is exactly the kind of outcome the model is designed to learn from, once a shop connects its inspection data. Not yet confirmed running.
Aerospace parts as a feature family, direction
Parts governed by AS9100 share a family of characteristics the model is designed to recognise across drawings. A design principle, not a confirmed, ratified function.
