AQAP regulates among other things, the improvement of managerial efficiency in planning, risk management and reliability; regulates the transparency of organizational structures and clear regulations of authorization and competence ranges, internal and external communication within the organization. AQAP principles were introduced in 1987, that is from the date of issuing ISO 9000 standards. NATO member states decided to introduce requirements specified in these standards to the systems of supplying the armed forces of the member states, by developing and publishing of the standardization agreement STANAG 4107.
