7.0 PRESENT PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK PROVIDED TO MTL LEADERSHIP – OPEN

The Task Group leadership reviewed the Paris meeting comments, the feedback overall shows the meeting facilitation has improved. Subscriber attentiveness and participation has increased along with open and improved communication. The group would like more technical discussion in future meetings. It was also felt that more is accomplished in small working groups during the larger Task Group meeting.

8.0 NADCAP TUTORIAL – OPEN

An MTL Task Group Tutorial was presented. No further discussion followed.

The MTL preferred approach for effectively resolving NCRs was discussed. The expectation is for the Supplier to submit the first response to NCRs before contacting the Audit Report Reviewer for guidance. The audit report review is not a consultant. The supplier RCCA process needs to be robust; the reviewer needs to see it is working. Every NCR has a link with instructions on How to respond to NCR. Additionally, a Root Cause Corrective Action tutorial is available at http://www.pri-network.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/RCCANadcapStyle.pdf

AC7101/9 – A clarification of the use of offsets when load thermocouples are used as control thermocouples has yet to be resolved.

It was noted that NOP-002 Quality System requirements have been revised for ISO 17025 scope of accreditation so that scopes no longer need to match the requested Nadcap Scope.

The MTL Auditor Consistency committee is on hold until enough data is collected on the revised checklists.

A summary of the Auditor Conference was presented.

The request for participation on standard creation was sent through SAE International. Initial responses have been varied from the extent of support, to the questioning of the rationale for development.

10.0 AGENDA REVIEW – OPEN

The agenda for the balance of the meeting was reviewed and adjusted.

11.0 CONTINUE DEFINITION OF MTL CHECKLIST REVISION PROCESS – OPEN

A team was created to support this: Verl Wisehart (lead), Peter Bonarrigo, Deena Crossmore, Eric Dirats, Jenny McKeegan, and Olivier Molinas.

ACTION ITEM: Verl Wisehart to set up a teleconference to start the new checklist (physical properties) workgroup. (Due Date: 31-Dec-2013).

12.0 WORK SESSIONS FASTENER TEST DISCUSSION – OPEN

The major discussion point was whether to keep the AC7101/11 dependent on other checklists, or make it a comprehensive, stand-alone checklist. No decision was made.

13.0 CHECKLIST REVISIONS – OPEN

The MTL TG discussed setting up a checklist oversight committee for checklist review prior to ballot. This group would ensure that checklists are well integrated, flow like an audit, ensure consistent and precise language usage and ensure language is suitable for laboratories with minimal aerospace experience and non-native English speakers. Members of the initial team are Tim Myers, Bryan Hall, and Kay Fisher.

14.0 MTL VISION – OPEN

Attendees were separated into seven groups comprised of Suppliers and Subscribers to complete an Activity Worksheet to identify actions moving forward and roadblocks to achieving the MTL TG vision. Identified actions and roadblocks are to be distributed prior to the London Meeting, 2014 to the MTL TG roster.


CONFIRMED

ACTION ITEM: Tim Myers to collect and distribute to the MTL TG roster comments regarding incorporating the MTL vision. (Due Date: 31-Jan-2014).

15.0 HT PROPOSALS– OPEN

Issues with the MOU between the Nadcap Heat Treating (HT) and MTL Task Groups were discussed.

The first issue was Laboratory Furnaces. The MOU only concerns the case where the supplier has both an MTL accreditation to AC7101/9 for Materials Testing Laboratories - Specimen Heat Treating and a HT accreditation to AC7102 for Heat Treating. The first option is for MTL auditors to continue to audit suppliers that have Laboratory Furnaces and both HT and MTL accreditations. If the supplier uses Load Thermocouples, they will continue to utilize the audit criteria in AC7101/9. If the supplier does NOT use Load Thermocouples, the auditor will use the Pyrometry Section 10 from AC 7102 for the performance of the audit of the pyrometry requirements for Laboratory Furnaces. The HT Task Group is separating out the Section 10, Pyrometry, into a standalone checklist (AC7102/8) in the near future.

The second option is for the HT Task Group to add Laboratory Furnaces as a separate scope of HT accreditation. This will require expansion of the current criteria for auditing of Laboratory Furnaces. Then the MTL auditor will only verify that the supplier has a HT accreditation for Laboratory Furnaces, and accept this accreditation.

Steve Keck made a motion to adopt Option 1 for the HT and MTL Task Groups and to move forward with an MOU. Motion seconded. Motion passed. (Majority-Yes, 1-No)

ACTION ITEM: Rob Hoeth to coordinate the MTL/HT MOU with the release of AC7102/8 Pyrometry Checklist. (Due Date: 31-Jan-2014)

The second issue is regarding Hardness Testing. This only concerns the case where the supplier performs Hardness Testing within their Testing Laboratory in conjunction with their Laboratory Testing and Hardness Testing on their shop floor for acceptance of their production heat treatment. MTL auditors will perform the Hardness Testing portion of the audit on all equipment and testing that is performed in the Laboratory or in conjunction with Laboratory Testing in accordance with AC7101/5. HT auditors will perform the Hardness Testing portion of the audit on all equipment and testing that is performed on the shop floor or in conjunction with acceptance of production product in accordance with AC7102/5.

Kevin Elston made a motion to adopt the proposal between the HT and MTL Task Groups and to move forward with an MOU. Motion seconded. Motion Failed. Subscriber only vote: (5-Yes, 7-No, 2-Abstain)

ACTION ITEM: Rob Hoeth to set up a teleconference between MTL and HT Subscriber members to further discuss the need for a division of work MOU for Hardness Testing. (Due Date: 31-Jan-2014).

16.0 AC7101/1TAG– OPEN

(DUE DATE: 5-Non-2013)

Ballot comments for AC7101/1 Section 12 and definitions were addressed.

Revised definitions were proposed for replacement test and retest:

REPLACEMENT TEST: a repeat of a test by the same laboratory, using the same method, equipment (of equivalent accuracy or better) and sample (same material, lot/heat, location, orientation as the original or on the original specimen if not destroyed). REPLACEMENT TESTS are performed in response to INVALID TEST RESULTS.

RETEST: A repeat of a TEST by the same laboratory, using the same method, equipment (of equivalent accuracy or better), and sample (same material, lot/heat, location, orientation as the original or on the original specimen if not destroyed). RETEST is performed in response to non-conforming test results.

These revised definitions were accepted.
