Consulting Services
Expert consulting for ISO 9001, AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, API Q1, and API Q2. From your first gap assessment to your final certification audit — we guide you every step of the way.
ISO 9001 is the world's most recognized Quality Management System standard. Designed to help organizations meet customer expectations and deliver consistent results, ISO 9001 standardizes processes and documentation regardless of company size or industry.
Our ISO 9001 consulting service takes you from where you are today to a fully implemented, audit-ready QMS. We work hand-in-hand with your team to build a system that meets every requirement of the standard — and that your people will actually use and maintain.
Whether you're pursuing your initial certification or maintaining and improving an existing system, we have the experience and process to get you there efficiently.
AS9100 is the Quality Management System standard for the aviation, space, and defense industries. It builds on ISO 9001 with additional requirements specific to aerospace — including risk management, configuration management, and first article inspection.
We also support AS9110 (Aviation Maintenance Organizations) and AS9120 (Aviation, Space and Defense Distributors). Audits are performed to AS9101.
Our AS9100 consultants have deep aerospace QMS experience and understand exactly what prime contractors and certification bodies are looking for. We'll get you certified — and keep you that way.
API Q1 specifies quality program requirements for manufacturers in the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industry. API Q1 compliance is required for the API Monogram program — a critical certification for petroleum equipment manufacturers.
API Q2 covers quality management requirements for service supply organizations in the petroleum and natural gas industries. Together, these standards ensure product and service quality throughout the oil and gas supply chain.
We provide full-cycle API Q1 and Q2 consulting — from initial gap assessment through license application assistance — for small and mid-sized petroleum industry companies.
Internal audits are one of the most important — and most often neglected — requirements of any quality management system. A well-run internal audit program identifies problems before your certification body does, drives continual improvement, and keeps your QMS healthy between external audits.
We conduct thorough, professional internal audits to ISO 9001, AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, API Q1, and API Q2. We also perform gap assessments for companies that want to understand where they stand before beginning a formal implementation.
QMS Pro is our proprietary quality management system software, developed by Key Management Consulting specifically for small manufacturers pursuing AS9100 Rev D and ISO 9001:2015 certification. It's a complete, self-contained QMS that runs in a single file — no servers, no IT department, no subscription infrastructure required.
