OVERVIEW
This Advanced ISO Standards virtual workshop will provide a range of process frameworks to integrate selected ISO and non-ISO management system standards into a business management system.
An integrated management system provides an effective, efficient, and value-adding framework to meet defence primes requirements for suppliers.
The DoD, Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), and defence primes encourage innovation in the current supply chains to attract new and non-traditional suppliers, including SMEs. The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) Integrated Use of Management System Standards Handbook – for which Michael McLean was the ISO Convenor – will be the basis for this Advanced ISO virtual workshop. It will show how to integrate ISO and non-ISO management system standards into the supplier's process.
This virtual workshop draws from defence and non-defence business process frameworks for designing their system integrating strategy from the International Aerospace Quality Group Supply Chain Management (AS9100D); the UK Society of Motor Manufacturers (IATF 16949); APQC (Process Classification Framework – Defence); Operational Excellence / Lean Manufacturing (Shingo Prize Criteria); Process Maturity Self-assessment (ISO 9004:2018); Lockheed-Martin and NATO Supplier Requirements (AQAP – ISO 10005 Quality Plans, ISO 10007 Configuration Management).

The Defence Ready Seminar Series is being delivered thanks to funding and collaboration with the Office of Defence Industry Support (ODIS) and, for each seminar, forty (40) funded places are being made available to SMEs.
The Defence Department has set very clear guidance around the criteria for access to one of the forty funded places within each of the thirteen courses, and priority will be given to Hunter and regional-NSW based SMEs, building capability to potentially partner on Defence projects in the future.
With the full seminar series rolling out over the next twelve-months, Hunter Defence will be scheduling ongoing communications as each course gets close to commencing. If your organisation has been successful in achieving a funded place in one of these courses, Hunter Defence will let you know three (3) weeks before your selected seminars(s) of interest are due to start.
