QRS-01 Issue 6 and associated Modules will become applicable from October 1st, 2020 and will be required in the Purchase Orders. Consequently, Suppliers are required to implement changes and revise their quality plans within March 31st, 2021.
For new approved Suppliers, they will be applicable immediately.

The QRS-XXX Modules shall always be individually applied at their latest revision Issue published in the Leonardo Helicopters web page above.
A configuration log showing the list of the current QRS-XXX revisions (including Attachments, Appendixes and Forms) is published in the QRS webpage. This log highlights the changed documents.

A: The QRS-01 and associated modules shall be applied by all aerospace Leonardo Helicopters suppliers worldwide, to confirm a unique approach on Quality.

The main changes involve the following subjects:

A Gap Analysis Matrix is also available with a detailed description of all the introduced changes, in order to support you in their identification and implementation.
QRS-01 GAP ANALYISIS Issue 6, June 2020

Please submit your requests / suggestions to your Leonardo Helicopters Supplier Quality Assurance contact or to through functional mailbox: AWSupplierQualityAssurance.AW@leonardo.com

Any Quality Alert/Notification of Escape or Service Bulletin shall be sent to LH Chief Project of reference, LH Quality Control of Reference and LH SQA (AWSupplierQualityAssurance.AW@leonardo.com). For UK only, to AWL_Product_Qualityalert.mbx.aw@leonardo.com .
Any other contact referred to in the contract shall be put in copy. Further details can be found in QRS-107.

The Supplier should download the QRS-XXX modules, and retain the superseded Issues where needed. However, only the previous issues of the QRS-01 and associated Modules (as they were published before the Issue 6), are still available in the QRS website in the “Additional Data / Archive” section.

The QRS-01 and associated Modules is revised once a year, normally in June. Impellent changes are introduced through Temporary Revisions.

Yes, the Supplier shall demonstrate that its design system is capable of ensuring a satisfactory configuration control. The system shall guarantee the traceability of minor changes coordinated with LH Engineering (both physical and documental), usually using the "modification status" or "amendment" or equivalent code.
It is acceptable to physically record the embodiment of minor changes through the use of `Mod Strike’ plates or by other traceable means. Ref QRS-115 para 5.3.5.1. The CofC shall include “modification status”, Ref QRS-01 para. 13.1. It is also recommended to include “modification status” on package labelling.

A Quality Plan is typically required by LH through Statement of Work or Purchase Order. An example is the Quality Plan for Manufacturers who design and manufacture new articles.
In other situations, the Quality Plan is required by Supplier Quality Assurance or by Procurement, following specific communication received by the Supplier. An example is the Quality Plan supporting permanently or temporarily work transfer.
In all other cases, the Supplier has directly to submit the Quality Plan to LH in order to document how he intends to fulfil LH Contractual requirements, to document any deviations and align his Quality Management System to LH Requirements.

The main purposes of a QP are to identify any gaps between a Supplier’s QMS and LH requirements specified in QRS-01 and to document how the Supplier intends to fulfil LH Contractual requirements as detailed in the QRS-01 and associated modules (see §1 of QRS-108). So, a supplier is requested to review the QP after each new issue of QRS-01 and related modules for implementation of changes, and/or when relevant changes occur in the Supplier processes or articles.
The revised QP needs to be resubmitted to LH. Anyway, the Supplier has to regularly update the Annexes of the QP and to submit them to LH.

This is a new platform (March 2021) primarily realized for LH suppliers, to be trained on QRS-01 and facilitate understanding and implementation of these requirements. Access to the platform is password controlled. You may have already received an account from LH. If not, there is an enrolment window where you can apply, providing your contacts data and Supplier Company data.

Once you are profiled and access is granted, you can take training on each QRS-XXX module, as applicable for your scope of approval, take a final questionnaire and get a certificate for each module. Access is possible for Suppliers already approved, Suppliers under approval and new candidates for Approval. Enrolment is also open to Regulatory Authorities, Customers, Certification Bodies and other Organizations/Guests providing an acceptable reason.
