NMC Metrics

4.0 Sub Team Status

A. Metrics

Heather Meyer presented a proposal to reduce the number of audits over150 days due to not having a valid Quality System at the time of certification. Please see attached presentations.

RCCA Report for Valid QS Proposal Metrics Team

The proposal stated that a policy needed to be established whereby suppliers within 7 days of the completion of the audit shall submit a plan to the Staff Engineer to comply with NOP-002. Supplier’s audits shall be voided when compliance to NOP-002 is not achieved within 90 days after completion of the audit or before the closure of the special process audit.

Ed Engelhard proposed that no Special Process audit should start unless it complies with NOP-002 or has an AC7004 audit scheduled in conjunction with Nadcap MANAGEMENT COUNCIL STEERING COMMITTEE the Special Process audit. This will ensure the Supplier meets the minimum Quality System requirements.

Heather Meyer clarified that NOP-002 does not state the audit cannot be conducted without a valid Quality System. It states the audit will not be closed or certification will not be issued without a valid Quality System.

Jay Park proposed the wording of NOP-002 just needed to be changed to state audits should not take place without meeting the minimum Quality System requirement.

It was agreed the NOP-002 should be changed to state “At the time of the audit, where no existing recognized quality system approval exists, Nadcap requires assessment using AC7004 to support the special process accreditation.” Please see the changes attached.

Proposal 3

A motion was made to accept changing the wording of NOP-002, the motion was seconded and Heather Meyer agreed to ballot the changes.

A second issue of expiration of the Quality System during the Nadcap accreditation period was raised. Chatt Rhodes agreed to take the issue to the AQS Task Group.

B. Globalization

Camille Valmy gave an update regarding the translation of documents into English. Camille Valmy presented a matrix showing documents to be translated into English which was distributed to the Task Groups for comment. Not all Task Groups have responded. Final recommendations will be presented at the October Nadcap meeting. Attached please find the matrix.

Globalization Matrix

Action Item: Camille to re-send Language Matrix to Task Groups who have not responded.

C. Appeals and Ethics

Steve Meyer went through the status of the Appeals & Ethics sub-team for 2004 through to 2005. Steve Meyer explained he was having difficulty assigning 3 NMC members to review each appeal. He suggested writing something in procedure in order to ensure Prime Participation. He put it to the floor for suggestions on how to get participation for the appeals committee. Jay Park suggested what he had done to acquire Prime participation for Oversight Audits. Nadcap MANAGEMENT COUNCIL STEERING COMMITTEE Steve Meyer agreed to discuss the idea and put a proposal together at their next teleconference meeting.

Steve Meyer reported the noticeable trends namely: A supplier disagreeing with audit findings after the Auditor has left the site. The team will be looking at written NCR’s to enable the Supplier to sign that he fully understands and agrees with the NCR.

The Appeals process states the Supplier may participate in the Appeals discussion with the Technical Committee of Appeal. It is however not mandatory and the wording of the procedure needs to be reworked to clarify this.

At present there is an email address to report Ethics issues but no one is aware of whom the email goes to. The sub-team is looking at who is receiving the email and if they can receive a copy.

The Ethics sub-team will request PRI to provide a summary of the incident reports each quarter in order to create an orderly summary of incident reports.

D. Oversight Audit

Jay Park explained to the new Prime participants that an Oversight audit is when selected NMC representatives go to PRI Headquarters in Warrendale and audit PRI.

Jay Park reported he has received the names of the Oversight auditors for 2005 from all participating Primes and that there is still opportunity for new Primes to participate. Attached please find the presentation.

Oversight Sub-Team

Action Item: New Primes who would like to participate in the Oversight audit to forward names to Jay Park.

Jay Park advised 54 procedures were identified for PRI to be audited against. 45 checklists have been written to date, the remaining are to be completed by May 2005.

From the findings in the past 3 years it was identified that 8 procedures should be made mandatory and audited each year and the rest divided by 3 and audited in rotation over 3 years. This will ensure all procedures are covered over a 3 year period and the most important are covered every year.

The question of a 3rd party registrar to audit PRI was raised. Arshad Hafeez advised this may cause conflict of interest with supplier information. It was also advised that PRI does not fit AS9100 criteria as it is a service provider and does not manufacture or produce any goods.

E. Standardization Nadcap MANAGEMENT COUNCIL STEERING COMMITTEE

Mike Spencer advised that they would cover the results of the questionnaires at tomorrow’s Steering meeting.

5.0 Supplier Support Committee
