3.0 How did we do in Q3, 2005: MOS Review

Glenn Shultz presented the third quarter metrics. Supplier merit is currently at 1% and it needs to be at 80%. The merit team is doing RCCA to determine next steps. Cycle time is currently at 71 days for initial audits and 54 days for reaccreditation audits. There are 33 audits that are over 150 days and lapsed accreditations are at 85% on time. (See attached presentation for more details)

4.0 Sub Team Status

A. Metrics (Chet presentation and Heather presentation)

The metrics sub-team presentation was given by Chet Daté. The team is currently working on 2006 goals, RCCA of audits over 150 days, and the assessment of chemical processing and heat treating suppliers on merit. (See attached presentation for more details)

Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation Nadcap MANAGEMENT COUNCIL STEERING COMMITTEE

Heather Meyer reported on a proposal regarding supplier delinquency. A supplier will be given a block of 30 days to use how they choose. No extensions for responses will be given. A method may still need to be identified for unusual/extreme circumstances. Once the 30 days are used, the supplier will receive a failure notice. Notifications are already sent when supplier is late. Reports or notifications could be sent to primes when certain thresholds are reached. (See attached presentation for more details).

ACTION ITEM: The number of days suppliers are delinquent are to be added to the next 3 months past due reports and forwarded to the task groups. A summary is to be given to the NMC at each NMC conference call as to who is late and the degree of lateness. After the 3 month period NMC will make a decision on the supplier delinquency proposal.

B. Globalization  Translation of documents into English

Camille Valmy presented the final proposal from the globalization sub-team to the NMC. The globalization team is proposing that key documents must be translated into English. All other documents may be translated in writing or verbally during the audit. (See attached for more details)

C. Ethics and Appeals  2004-2005 appeals status

Steve Meyer reported on the status of the Ethics and Appeals sub-team. Changes have been submitted for NOP 1. Changes have also been submitted to NIP 8 so that the Ethics and Appeals committee are made aware of potential concerns. The sub-team also made a proposal on how to address Nadcap requirements for suppliers who have customers that do not require Nadcap accreditation. (See attached presentation for more details)

5.0 Supplier Support Committee

Ed Engelhard gave an update on the Supplier Support Committee. The Structure of the committee will be changing. A new Leadership team (LT) is currently being selected and will comprise of the following:

 David Michaud new SSC chair starting in January 2006  2 Sector Reps from Americas, Europe, Asia  Secretary  PRI SSC Staff

The Supplier Support committee is also working on changes to NOP 001 appendix C in an effort to define the SSC. (See attached presentation for more details)

6.0 Supplier Survey Results

Michael McLean reported on the Supplier Survey results. The survey results showed that auditor consistency seems to be a problem with suppliers and the survey team is looking further into this area. Only 17% of the supplier community are attending Nadcap meetings. However, 72% of suppliers are aware of the SSC and their efforts. 84% of supplier management are aware of the prep time involved for a Nadcap audit. 77% of suppliers have seen an increase in their quality along with a 36% increase in business volume. The survey team’s next steps are to take the results to the SSC, NESPB and PRI Board of Directors. (See attached presentation for more details)

7.0 Balloting Process

Arne Logan discussed the coordination of balloting Nadcap documents. AS7003 Rev C eliminates external review and approval of Nadcap Accreditation documents by SAE Technical Committees and Aerospace Council. The change in process places the burden of ensuring document accuracy and completeness on the NMC during a 21 day review. A proposal was made to create a pre-NMC ballot review process that allows sufficient time and opportunity for all proposed revisions to Nadcap accreditation documents to be formally coordinated before submittal to the NMC for ballot. (See attached presentation for more details) Nadcap MANAGEMENT COUNCIL STEERING COMMITTEE

ACTION ITEM: Arne Logan to forward ballot proposal presentation to task groups for comments and report out at the next meeting for formal vote.
