The aerospace sector is traditionally one of the cutting-edge sectors for Quality.

For an organization operating in an international market extension, characterized by huge investments, complexity and technological innovation, the ability to compete in excellence is an imperative rather than a strategic option.

Specifically, CIRA is institutionally committed to:

acquisition and transfer of Know-how finalized to:

the birth of new companies;
improving the competitiveness of existing ones;

promotion of training in the aerospace sector;
dissemination of knowledge in the aerospace industry.

Committed to supporting this competition, in reference to Quality, CIRA governs its activities according to national and international standards more useful for research; of these standards systematically checks:

applicability to the activities of the Centre, considering effectiveness and opportunities;
application among European and extra European competitors.

The focus of CIRA for the quality of service rendered to the aerospace community is evident in terms of factors and results: it constitutes evidence of this an organizational function dedicated to Business Processes dealing with many aspects of Quality and a consequent "Quality Management System" (QMS), continuously updated to standards evolution and the subject among other things, of certifications and awards.

In strategic terms, therefore, the commitment of CIRA to support the competition for excellence goes beyond the certification and pushes to develop a continuous benchmarking against European excellence in the aerospace industry.

In this perspective, the QMS is focused on:

effectiveness, on the short and long term goals;
continuous improvement of performance and efficiency of the organization;
exceeding the expectations not only of customers but of all stakeholders (customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers and the community);

The Quality Management System objectives are:

assure that the products/services provided effectively meet the needs and expectations of the customer, also in relation to the time and costs of related implementation projects;
assure the continuous improvement of processes, according to the priorities dictated by the effect expected on the objectives, including simplification and organizational efficiency;
systematically align the organization with applicable legal and technical rules, also providinig evidence of this through the maintenance and extension of the certification system;
strive for excellence in the organization to enable the Company to act as an international leader.

The General Management monitors the Quality Management System through periodic reviews based on reports prepared by the Quality Department.
