Report-Out of AI #180

During the October 2012 NuMC Meeting, John Barrett was tasked to review two identified audits whose assigned merit status were in question. (148595 & 142751). Based on the results of this review – appropriate corrective action shall be taken and communicated to the NuMC.

John looked into the error in the original Merit that was set by the Staff Engineer and looked at several other audits with and without Merit in the NUCAP program and believes that the error was isolated.  Since the completion of the Merit screen is a manually controlled process by the Audit Report Reviewer (ARR), it is possible that human errors may occur.  The Nadcap and NUCAP program provide for Subscriber review of this element as well as the review of the audit report and NCR corrective actions.  Infrequently errors are detected by this review and fed back to the ARR. 

Subscribers who are Reviewers are reminded to include the verification of the accuracy of the Merit screen during their review of any audit report in eAuditNet.

Further, there have been some enhancements promoted by PRI Staff to error proof the Merit screen where possible, but could reduce the opportunities for human error.

CONFIRMED MINUTES

ACTION ITEM – PRI to circulate PD 3000 and PD 3001 for a 14-Day Affirmation Ballot to the NuMC Committee. (Due Date: 29-Mar-13)

Additionally, Pascal Blondet provided a report on the Status/Feedback from the EASA Observation of a NUCAP Option B Headquarters Audit. The following point was raised by EASA during their observation; Nadcap currently has a process in place that defines the necessary actions to take when a Subscriber notifies PRI of potential product impact (NOP-006 – Supplier Advisory Process), but Nadcap does not define the Subscriber responsibility to notify Nadcap for these situations. The Nadcap program allows for Subscribers to notify PRI of potential product impact issues that are observed outside of a Nadcap audit but does not mandate that Subscribers to do this.

ACTION ITEM – PRI to send the EASA Level 3 Finding that was documented by EASA during their Observation of an Option B NUCAP audit to the NMC for further discussion. (Due Date: 3-Jun-13)

5.2 Program Status Update

Rebekah Braun provided a report on the Program Status of NUCAP. The attached presentation included a report on changes to the NUCAP PRI staff support team due to John Barrett’s retirement, data on the program, audits and participating companies and an overview of the changes to NUCAP pricing and payment policies.

In addition, Fabrizio Quadrini from AgustaWestland provided a business summary of facilities/processes that would be included in their future NUCAP scope in addition to their Site Matrix. The following members have volunteered to participate as a Review Team Members for AgustaWestland:

Kevin Ward - GoodrichSteve McGinn - HoneywellSerge Labbé - Héroux-DevtekRobin McGuckin - Bombardier

5.3 Sub-team Update – Should the NuMC be a subset of the NMC?

The question was asked during the October 2012 NuMC meeting; should the NuMC be a subset of the NMC? A sub-team was created to discuss the points and provide a recommendation. Due to the differences in the structure of the Nadcap and NUCAP programs and the fact that any changes in reporting structure will do little to change the Subscriber or PRI resources to support the program, but would present major challenges to its operation and compliance, it was recommended that no change in structure or reporting is appropriate at this time. It was then decided that no changes will be made.
