Adapting QMS from Parent Company to Subsidiary

There is not really a detailed procedure to migrate a parent company QMS to a subsidiary. In general, the steps you need to take would be:

1. Identify the existing processes that are relevant to your QMS and transfer them over.

2. Perform a gap analysis to see what else is missing from your QMS that is required by AS9100.

3. Put in place the missing elements of the QMS.

4. Ensure everyone is trained in the changes or additions to the QMS so that they know what they need to do.

To help make sure you are not missing anything after the transfer, see this helpful listing of the mandatory documents: AS9100 Rev D List of Mandatory Documents, https://info.advisera.com/9100academy/free-download/as9100-rev-d-list-of-mandatory-documents
