each product conforms to its approved design and is in a condition for safe operation. Consideration for producibility during the design phase establishes requisite production methods and manufacturing process controls to support conformity of the as-built system to the approved design. This precludes manufacturing and quality issues during production that could result in configuration changes, necessitating an additional AW assessment. Guidance on proven manufacturing management practices and quality management systems to promote delivery of affordable and capable air systems is contained in MIL-HDBK-896, SAE International (SAE) AS6500, SAE AS9100, and SAE AS9145.

The SPM should ensure that verification activities are in place to support any necessary subsequent airworthiness recertification efforts (MIL-HDBK-514, section 11.10). 6.1.1. (Added-EGLINAFB) 896 TSS will coordinate with the SPM to provide the data required to accomplish the Independent Modification Review (IMR). 6.2. The classification of the modification as either Major or Minor must be made as early as possible so the IMR requirements will be fulfilled. If the modification is classified as Major, the responsible program SPM will be contacted before formalizing any program schedules so all IMR required documentation can be identified. 6.3. As a part of the IMR, the responsible program SPM a
