2.0 CP-SAT MISSION STATEMENT

The CP-SAT mission statement was reviewed.

3.0 STATUS OF OPEN ACTION ITEMS

Unacceptable Visual Conditions: Parts are being rejected by customers due to “unacceptable visual conditions” but they are compliant to specification requirements. Examples are different shades of color due to weld zones, post process heat treatment tarnishing. Suppliers need to build a case in order to address this issue. The information required, subject to export control, is a picture of the rejected item showing the defect that was the reason for rejection, the specification requirements for inspection and acceptance. Item Closed

AS9100 Existence vs Compliance: The CPTG have reviewed AC7108 and the slash sheets for existence vs compliance and submitted a list of questions to the Aerospace Quality System (AQS) Task Group for review and feedback. AQS have provided feedback and they believe about 10 questions violate PD 1100 requirements. Will review in the Task Group meeting, either this meeting or June 2018. Item Closed

Supplier Attendance at Nadcap Meetings: Nigel reviewed the flyer produced by Joanna leigh that can be flowed down to Suppliers by the Auditor when conducting the audit. The purpose of the flyer is to promote attendance at the Nadcap meetings. The bit about “Active participation can generate a real competitive advantage for your company” is possibly bordering on a conflict of interest.

Action Item: Nigel Cook to follow-up with Joanna Kennedy to amend the part on “Active participation can generate a real competitive advantage for your company”. (Due Date: 20-Oct-2018)

4.0 NEW BUSINESS

NMC Checklist: Proposal for NMC mandated questions (e.g. self-audits, quality systems, identification of subscribers) are going to be removed from Commodity checklists and placed in an NMC Checklist that will be applied to all commodity audits. Process for balloting and approving the checklist is still to be agreed and written into PD 1100 and Nadcap procedures.

CONFIRMED

eQualified: There is a meeting tomorrow about developing the workforce for the future. Looks to be combining the training of eQuaLearn and Examinations via eQualified. Jim Cummings, Mike Noettl and Phil Brockman are going to the meeting.

TOP NCRS: The CP-SAT to an action to review the Top NCRs presentation and propose alternative wording for questions that were continuously in the top ten. After reviewing the questions, they seemed reasonably clear, however, they were “large” questions and it was suggested that suppliers did not appreciate the scope of items in the checklist that such a question applies to. For example, 3.14.1. 1 states, “Is there evidence of current calibration/verification for all shop equipment used to set, control or monitor the control of a process?” but when doing a job audit there is nothing in the job audit section to ask if the timer used for the water break free test is calibrated.

Action Item: Nigel Cook, Ethan Akins and Christine Nesbitt to review AC7108/8, Anodize Checklist, and redo the format and amend questions to identify high level requirements, e.g. item calibrated, where the, where the equipment is actually used and observed in the audit, e.g. was the water break free test carried out per instructions and was a calibrated timer used to measure the test time.

5.0 DEVELOP AGENDA

These minutes will form the basis of the agenda for the next meeting.
