15

Pre-Assessment Audit• You can schedule a pre-assessment audit using a Nadcap

auditor BEFORE your actual Nadcap audit.

• Three types; procedural review, complete documentation review, full scope audit.

• All the data from the audit will be left with you. There is no need to close out any findings with Nadcap.

• If there is a finding which clearly may affect or has affected product, it will be sent to the Primes.

• Contact PRI Scheduling for more information.

16

A Nadcap Audit is . . . • The most thorough and comprehensive audit you

probably have ever had.

• Conducted by experts in the field with technical special process knowledge and background.

The more you

prepare the

greater success

you

will have!

17

Quality System ApprovalBefore you receive a Nadcap special process accreditation,

your quality system must be approved:

Nadcap recognized quality system approvals:

AS9003 and AS/EN/JISQ 9100 quality system approvals performed by approved registrars - listed in the IAQG Oasis database. (www.iaqg.org/oasis). Product groups require AS9100.

ISO/IEC 17025 for testing laboratories (AC7101), must cover the Nadcap scope of accreditation and be from an approved NACLA/ILAC accreditation body.

If you have neither of these, you will need a Nadcap AQS audit to AC7004 or AC7006 (labs) to support the special process accreditation.

Refer to NOP-002 in www.eAuditNet.com.

18

Quality System Approval (Cont’d)

Suppliers scheduling an initial Nadcap audit shall provide PRI a recognized quality system certification prior to the time the audit is entered into eAuditNet or an AC7004 assessment audit shall be scheduled, unless the Task Group requires more than AC7004.

For reaccreditation audits, where no existing recognized quality system approval exists, Suppliers shall have two options:

• a minimum of 90 days prior to the audit start date schedule an assessment to AC7004, unless TG requires more than AC7004

• provide PRI a valid Quality System accreditation certificate no later than 60 days following the end of the Nadcap audit

Suppliers who fail to provide a valid quality system accreditation certificate to PRI by this date shall have the process audit automatically failed without further notice.

19

Additional Tools• Use the tools on www.eAuditNet.com

– Tutorials– Audit Handbooks– Checklists

• Contact your customers to verify the audit scope.

• Read the preparation instructions for your commodity. You must send certain documents (quality manual, procedures, etc.) to your auditor AT LEAST 30 days prior to your audit.

• Familiarize yourself with www.pri-network.org. – Courses and reference guides such as

NCSI, RCCA, etc.– Nadcap meeting information

• Keep your management informed and involved.

• Time spent on preparation will save even more time after the audit.

Job Audit

Job Audits: a key part of the Nadcap audit is the job audit.

A job audit is a step by step review of all processing on actual hardware evaluating how you meet your customer requirements.

Each special process family has a numbers of job audits that will be conducted with the special process checklist.

21

Job Audit (Cont’d) Schedule the Nadcap audit when you can perform as many of the job audits as

possible.

Work with PRI scheduling and your internal (company) scheduling to ensure you will have jobs for the audit.

Example:Try to schedule the audit on days of the week you may have more work (Tuesday through Friday vs. Monday through Thursday)

If possible, avoid scheduling audits when your larger customers are shut down.

You should have available a REAL part from a Nadcap aerospace Prime

NOTE: Each Task Group has specific requirements. You MUST review the

Audit Checklist for specific details and speak to the Staff Engineer if you will not have a part from a Nadcap aerospace Prime at the time of your audit.

22

suppliers

• The program matches suppliers who need assistance with experienced suppliers who can help them succeed in the Nadcap process
