Processor Control Strategy
Work together as one Boeing company and with the
Aerospace Industry to right size our processor
base and continually improve the certification
and oversight of special processors so there are
NO escapes due to special processing anywhere in
the supply chain.
-- a quality initiative that will lead to
industry cost reductions --

Processor Control Improvement

• Situation
• Control of special processors has not
  consistently prevented escapes from impacting
  production lines
• Problem affects the entire aerospace industry

Target Improve control, prevent escapes,
increase productivity and enhance customer
satisfaction
4
Alternatives for improving process control

• We could have significantly increased the numbers
  and technical skills of our processor control
  staff.
• -OR-
• We could chose to supplement our existing efforts
  by requiring the use of Nadcap accredited
  processors.

5
Why is Boeing Requiring Nadcap.

• Nadcap is industry managed controlled
• Nadcap auditors are process experts in the
  technologies they audit
• Nadcap audit process is technical and in-depth
• Processors that cannot attain accreditation will
  not be approved
• Allows Boeing to focus resources on Boeing
  specific issues and concerns

6
Boeing Oversight

• Perform initial process audits
• Continue to perform process audits for processes
  not covered by Nadcap
• At Nadcap accredited processors - maintenance
  activity based on potential risk (process
  criticality processor performance)
• Work with Nadcap to include Special Processes
  Boeing Unique Criteria not currently in the scope
  of Nadcap

  opportunity to influence the process
• Nadcap reduces variation of audit criteria
  resulting in lower cost to processor and primes
• Nadcap process offers improved quality through
  improving or eliminating of poor performing
  processors
