Six (6) completed YTD , four (4) additional scheduled before years end
Audit Results Data
The MOU Rev B was released. Among the changes is the addition of JAPC supplemental oversight
OASIS feedback fully implemented for all JAPC audits
Nadcap support for the Space Industry unique processes under study
JAPC audits of Titanium suppliers under study
Oversight “visits” of Independent Distributors continues

3. JAPC Suppliers
A total of six joint audits have been performed with another four scheduled this year.
On target to complete the average amount of yearly audits between 8-12 audits.
Audits are performed by very competent highly qualified auditors from member organizations.
It is always communicated to suppliers that data will be shared within other JAPC member organizations.
We ensure audit results data will not be shared if the member organization is in competition for the same business with the audited supplier.

4. Joint Audit Data Over 30 findings recorded in six audits
Areas of concern detected through joint audits include
Product Realization
Calibration issues
Training
Product Planning
Data will be shared with the RMC on a regular basis with the intent to establish an efficient collaborative relationship toward process improvement.

5. MOU Revision B
MOU new revision was released. Key change was section 4.c to include supplemental oversight wording
Full support was provided by JAPC members with several identifying auditors trained and qualified to perform assessments per AS guidelines
We have identified approximately 16 CBs in relation to suppliers targeted for joint audits
One supplier on the joint audit schedule committed to host a joint audit and supplemental oversight.
In the process of determining other CBs targeted for supplemental oversight assessment during a joint audit

6. Continuous improvement of the aerospace and defense industry’s quality management performance and enhancement of JAPC confidence in the certification schemes
Validate effectiveness of the ICOP Certification Body (CB) process
Accreditation Body (AB), CBs, Registration Management Committee (RMC)
Allow CBs to adjust their processes, procedures and training
Help identify CBs with systemic issues
Obtain corrective action (if required)
Keep JAPC members apprised
Long term goal to maintain oversight and drop off of second party audits

7. Nadcap and the space industry – Business case
Discussion with JAPC members on which processes will make sense to target
JAPC members possibly creating a sub-team to work on this effort and report back to the committee
Task of identifying specific space requirements which will be added to Nadcap processes
Nadcap welcomes collaboration with JAPC members

8. Auditing Titanium suppliers
Another JAPC topic of discussion within JAPC members and currently under study
May turn into another sub-committee working the task and identifying target Titanium suppliers to be audited.
Purpose is to create a list of reliable/trusted suppliers. A JAPC member organization has taken the lead on identifying reliable Titanium suppliers including benchmarking other organizations.

9. Oversight “visits” to Independent Dist.
Continue teaming with MDA to also target independent distributor visits in the vicinity where joint audits are performed.
Once a joint audit is scheduled, MDA identifies potential independent distributors that may be visited by the audit team
Visits typically are 2-3 hours long and include a questionnaire aimed at assessing effectiveness of processes used to ensure counterfeit/sub-standard do not enter the supply chain.
