  18. Program Risk Analysis • Risks of developing a program/not doing it right • Not timely • No critical mass • Proof of Concept audits not showing much • Cost could go up without critical mass • Risks to implementing a program • Will find Suppliers that aren’t capable – increased exposure • Could mean more work for OEM – short term stretch on resources • Finding enough/the right SMEs to conduct audits • Agency acknowledgement • OEMs may still have to conduct special process audits

  19. Confidentiality of Information Addressed in Nadcap Operating Procedures (NOP): • NOP-001 describes the Nadcap program “These Operating Procedures shall govern the operations of the Nadcap Program. This document establishes the policies for how Nadcap shall meet the requirements defined in SAE AS7003. Nadcap Management Council (NMC) and all Nadcap Task Groups and committees shall operate in accordance with these procedures and all referenced documents.” • NOP-002 describes the roles and functions around Task Groups.

  20. Confidentiality of Information (cont.) eAuditNet security features: • eAuditNet implements operating procedures: • Each Company has one (or more) administrator(s) who are verified by PRI before any other users can be associated with that Company • Each user has unique credentials, and is only associated with a Company by that Company's administrator(s) • Each user can only access audits/functions relevant to their company and roles • eAuditNet uses standard IT security best practices: • All eAuditNet/program data is delivered over Secure Socket Layer (‘https’) • All system activity is logged • Audit data is stored behind multiple firewalls, and physical safeguards are in place • PRI and SAE have regular information security audits: • PCI compliance • External penetration testing, etc

  21. Case Studies • Aerospace (Airline Passenger Safety Trends) • Aerospace (Nadcap OEM – Critical Process Escapes) • Transportation & Power Generation (OEM) • Medical Device (Electronic Circuits Hypothetical)

  22. Aerospace (Airline Passenger Safety Trends) *Data from Aviation Safety Network and NTSB

  23. Since March 20, 1997, aircraft -10 or more seats scheduled passenger service have been operated under 14 CFR 121. Definitions of NTSB Classifications: Major- an accident in which any of three conditions is met:     a Part 121 aircraft was destroyed, or  there were multiple fatalities, or  there was one fatality and a Part 121 aircraft was substantially damaged.  Serious- an accident in which at least one of two conditions is met:     there was one fatality without substantial damage to a Part 121 aircraft, or there was at least one serious injury and a Part 121 aircraft was substantially damaged.  Injury- a nonfatal accident with at least one serious injury and without substantial damage to a Part 121 aircraft. Damage- an accident in which no person was killed or seriously injured, but in which any aircraft was substantially damaged. *Data from Aviation Safety Network and NTSB

  24. Aerospace OEM - Critical Process Escapes 78% decrease * An escape is where defective product has been shipped to the customer prior to being identified as faulty

  25. Transportation & Power Generation (TPG) Program – Fastener Example • Event: OEM experienced a product escape due to a faulty fastener and were forced to make an expensive repair • Included in OEM Recourse: Requested a PRI NDT audit for their fastener Supplier • TPG Audit Results: NDT audit uncovered cracks not found during initial inspection and process control violations that would have prevented the cracks • Pre-TPG Program: Focus was on certifying the component (product-centric)

  26. Medical Device Quality-Related Product Recall (Hypothetical) 2010: FDA issues a Class II recall on an Automated External Defibrillator ¹. Root cause: Printed Circuit Board Assembly (Electronic Circuits) Trautman, K. (2010). Purchasing Controls – Background & Examples. Retrieved November 02, 2012, from FDANews.com

  27. Medical Device Quality Related Product Recall (Hypothetical) (cont.) How would Nadcap address this issue? • Root cause: • Printed Circuit Board Assembly (Electronic Circuits) • Supplier has incorrectly applied solder flux • Ineffective cleaning • Nadcap process compliance is used as a preventative measure: • AC7120 Revision B – audit criteria for circuit card assembly • 17.1 Reflow Soldering • 17.1.14.C Are soldering defects including solder joint touchup identified, recorded and addressed in a continuous improvement plan? • 17.1.15.C Is the cleaning method being used as per the procedure and is the maximum time permitted between reflow and cleaning being observed? • Audit Note: Maximum allowed time of 8 hours unless otherwise specified by customer or manufacturer’s • recommendation. • 20 Coatings and Encapsulation • 20.1.C Is there objective evidence of cleanliness verification?

  28. Cost Structure • Subscription Fees • Supplier Audit Pricing (per-audit fee including travel costs) Based on current auditor daily fee of $420 per day. Will be increased as Auditor fees and travel costs increase in subsequent years. * A travel surcharge will be added (expected to be between USD 1000 and 2000) for Asia-Pacific and South American audits, and for ITAR/EAR audits outside of North America

  29. OEM Cost/Benefit Template • What number of Critical Process Audits currently performing? • How many can be eliminated? • What is the cost to conduct these audits? • Travel/Time savings? • Can the QMS audits currently being conducted by OEMs be reduced? • cGMP compliance • Intangibles • Draw from entire med-tech industry expertise • OEM experts could observe audits conducted by Subject Matter Experts
