This is where “Design for Invention” begins.

Authored by Imagineering CEO Khurrum Dhanji, “The Printed Circuit Buyer’s Guide to… AS9100 Certification” is the first book in an ongoing series of micro eBooks specifically dedicated to the education of the PCB design, fabrication and assembly industry.
The Printed Circuit Buyer’s Guide to… AS9100 Certification is a must-read for buyers, specifiers, engineers and anyone involved in the procurement of high quality printed circuit boards, specifically those requiring this advanced quality management system.
“I believe that the only way we can get stronger as an industry is by sharing our resources,” says Dhanji. “This certification has validated what we have been doing for the last 32 years: quality, workmanship, and pride are commonly used phrases at Imagineering. We have continually raised the bar here and it shows.”
The Printed Circuit Buyer’s Guide to… AS9100 Certification is written to educate readers about the AS9100 quality standard and why this certification is important. It provides a high-level overview of the standard, as well as a breakdown of each of the five major requirements.

About Imagineering
Imagineering, Inc. was founded as a family business in 1985. Relying heavily on family expertise, the company has succeeded by recognizing industry needs and reacting to serve these needs.
Imagineering’s relentless focus on the customer has led to the decision to upgrade from the ISO 9001 quality management system to AS9100. Customer pressure (or demand) is typically the driving factor for most companies to pursue the stringent, daunting AS9100 certification, but this is not the case with Imagineering. Once again, Imagineering is differentiating themselves, as this decision was solely based on the desire to improve the company, and their service to their customers. Visit us at www.pcbnet.com.
