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.

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.

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

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.

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.
