3.0 GROUP DISCUSSION TOPICS

David Michaud, SSC Chairperson, led a discussion on the three topics below.

SSC Discussion Topics.pptx

Flowdown The group identified flowdown as an ongoing area of concern. It was acknowledged that Nadcap has implemented initiatives to improve flowdown. It was also noted that the 2009 Supplier Survey indicated an improvement in flowdown.

One process improvement is the access to online information through Prime portals. However, this is only accessible to direct Suppliers. A Chemical Processing Flowdown template that is sent to customers was mentioned as another possible best practice. All current Task Group Flowdown templates are available on the PRI website at http://www.pri-network.org/Nadcap/Task-Group-Flow-Down-Templates.id.905.htm

Current Climate The group discussed how some Primes are using Suppliers that are not Nadcap approved. It was suggested that Suppliers discuss this directly with their Primes if they are doing this.

Continual Improvement Heather Meyer, NMC Checklist Vision Sub-team Lead, presented the checklist vision. She stated that the sub-team believes in continual improvement without being too prescriptive. During this discussion, it was suggested that the checklists be available as Word documents.
