5.0 NEW BUSINESS
Observation NCRs: The Task Group requested the CP-SAT meeting to review the suppliers concerns associated with observation NCRs and provide a proposal to the Task Group. A number of suppliers felt that observations that were not upgraded to an NCR were not voided. After discussing the issue the suppliers present agreed the following proposals:
1) Request that the processing of Observations is defined in the Audit Report Reviewer Guidelines and all Audit Report Reviewers trained on it.
2) Request that eAuditNet is amended to include Observation as a category that will need to be either up-graded or voided before the audit is accredited.
Supplier Voting Members: The Task Group requested the CP-SAT meeting to review the suppliers concerns associated with the issue of Supplier Voting Members and provide a proposal to the Task Group. NOP-001 restricts the number of SVM’s to 50% of the number of Prime Voting Members. After discussing the issue the suppliers present agreed the following proposals:
1) Request a deviation to allow the Task Group to continue its present practice for approval and removal of supplier voting members.
2) Amend NOP-001 to remove the Supplier Voting Member percentage restriction and rely on the voting member eligibility criteria in NTGOP-001 to maintain the voting member base.
(Note: The Primes can always call a Prime only vote if required.)
Steering Committee: The Chair of this group has been asked to join the CP-TG Steering Committee to better align this group’s efforts with those of the TG
