January 11, 2017 | Libra IndustriesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

Libra Industries, a privately held electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, has announced that Glenn Watson, quality manager at its Dallas facility, recently completed his AS9100 Aerospace Quality Management Systems Lead Auditor training. The RABQSA-Certified training course was offered by AXEON and certified by Exemplar Global.
The course focused on using auditing to improve the organization through understanding quality management principles and interpreting the requirements of ISO 9001 and AS9100. Additionally, the five-day course teaches auditors how to understand system documentation and records, document QMS, and prepare quality policies and objectives.
As a successful graduate, Watson has satisfied part of the knowledge requirements for registering as an Exemplar Global certified AS9100 Aerospace Quality Management System (AQMS) Auditor. This is a key step in Watson becoming an AS9100 Lead Auditor. Even though AS9100 is used as the model for teaching systems and audit, this course enables students to develop and apply auditing skills using any applicable management system standard.
Libra Industries continues to invest to provide customized manufacturing solutions to help make its customers more competitive and improve their profitability. For more information, visit www.libraind.com.
