AS 9100 - THE FUSS ABOUT PEAR's
Process effectiveness assessment report (PEAR's) and a simple overview of the requirements to ensure your compliance. Keep ahead of your audit and listen to this "podcast" for examples of PEAR's and KPI (key performance indicators).
Where is AS9100 PEAR from and why? PEAR is an acronym that is used to help the auditor remember how to audit and fill in the audit report. The letters stand for P = people who do the job, E = environment the work is done in, A = actions that need to be performed, and R resources needed to do the job.
All a bit naff, don't you think?
So, again what is AS9100 PEAR form? PEAR is an acronym for "process improvement" and used as follows. P = process (identified as) E = effectiveness (measured by) A = assessment (of objective measures) R = report (presenting the data) for factual decision making "by the boss" and performance improvement.
Nice PEAR,,, of course, your AS 9100 auditor will need the PEAR more than you! See the PEAR as a necessary evil for AS 9100 compliance.
