FOD is a serious, continual problem within the aerospace industry. The FOD Management Group (FMG) created the aerospace industry FOD Program Standard, FPS 2020.
FPS 2020 certifies organizations through audit by FMG to ensure their FOD Program meets or exceeds the FPS 2020 standard.
In addition to organizational standards, FPS 2020 provides individual certifications. These certifications are used throughout the aerospace industry to promote knowledge of FPS 2020. From basic FOD program principles up to the management of an FPS 2020 FOD program.
