The aircraft production quality management system in Korea has been implemented to support the developmental phase of Korean aircraft industries, from overhaul of the aircraft and engines to development of military trainer aircraft. After the deletion of the Mil-Q-9858A standard in 1996, Korean aerospace companies established ISO 9001 and AS 9100 as their basic aerospace quality management system specifications. These quality standards were adopted in the same period of time by other leading international aircraft manufacturing companies. This paper presents a future direction on the improvement of quality management systems for Korean aircraft production company by considering (1) Korean governments strategy for the development of Korean aircraft production industries, (2) short and long term business plan of Korean aerospace industries, and (3) benchmarking leading international company`s quality management systems.
