About this course

Most aerospace escapes that are not about workmanship are about configuration: a part built to the wrong revision, a router that lagged a design change, a redline nobody approved, a build record that does not match the unit. AS9100D clause 8.1.2 requires every organization to manage configuration across the product life cycle, and the people who make that work are the ones who check revisions, kit parts, run programs and complete build records.

This course explains configuration in plain terms: part number, revision and effectivity; as-designed, as-planned, as-built and as-maintained; and what goes wrong when they disagree. It introduces the 5 configuration management functions of SAE EIA-649, planning and management, identification, change management, status accounting, and verification and audit, and shows how AS9100D clause 8.1.2 asks for each of them.

The practical modules cover the changes you meet in daily work: engineering change versus deviation and waiver, when customer approval is required, redlines and uncontrolled copies, obsolete documents at the workstation, NC program and software versions, and model-based definition. The final module works through 4 scenarios, a wrong revision on the floor, an uncontrolled redline, a build record that does not match the unit, and a customer asking which configuration shipped, and lists what an auditor checks.

The course closes with a 10-question examination drawn from a bank of 20. On passing you receive a PlanetISO Certificate of Completion with lifetime access to the course content. The certificate does not expire and can be filed as evidence of configuration management awareness training.

What you will be able to do

Explain part number, revision and effectivity and distinguish as-designed, as-planned, as-built and as-maintained configurations.
Describe the 5 configuration management functions of SAE EIA-649 and how AS9100D clause 8.1.2 asks for them.
Distinguish an engineering change from a deviation and a waiver and state when customer approval is required.
Recognise uncontrolled redlines, copies and obsolete documents at a workstation and take the correct action.
Treat NC programs, test software, firmware and models as configuration items with controlled versions.
Apply the stop, check the controlled source, tell someone routine to configuration mismatches on the floor.
Answer a customer or auditor configuration question from the record without guessing.

Prerequisites

None.

Questions

Is this course based on SAE EIA-649?

It introduces the 5 configuration management functions that SAE EIA-649 describes and relates them to AS9100D clause 8.1.2. It is an awareness course, not a substitute for reading the standard or for your company's configuration management plan, which the course tells you how to use.

Does this course cover software configuration management?

At awareness level. It treats NC programs, test software and firmware as configuration items with controlled versions and explains what to record. It does not teach software development configuration practices such as branching and release management.

What certificate do I receive?

You receive a PlanetISO Certificate of Completion showing the course title, your name and your exam result. It does not expire. It is evidence of training for your competence record and is not an accreditation or a configuration management professional qualification.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access to the course and your certificate. You can revisit any module and download your certificate at any time.

What happens if I fail the exam?

You have 3 attempts. Each attempt draws a different 10-question set from the bank of 20, and module quizzes can be retaken without limit to prepare.

My company uses model-based definition. Is the course still relevant?

Yes. Module 3 covers model-based definition and digital product definition and explains what changes and what stays the same when the model, rather than a drawing, is the design.
