2.1.10.16. The Government will provide Equipment Custodians, and their alternates, initial custodial training (Base Level Supply Customer Training) NLT five business days prior to the start of the basic contract period. Supply training courses are outlined in AFI 23-101.

2.1.11. Quality Management System. The SP shall establish and maintain a formal “compliance-oriented” Quality Management System (QMS) that integrates four key quality functions: 1) Detection of quality program problems and defects; 2) Identification of root causes for quality related problems/defects; 3) Correction of root causes related to detected problems/defects; and, 4) Follow-up to ensure quality related problems/defects do not recur.

The SP shall, as part of the “detection” and “identification” elements, integrate a Quality Control Plan (QCP) that defines the type, number, Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs), and frequency of quality control inspections planned by the SP that meet the intent of FAR 52.246- 4, using AFI 21-101 as a guide, to ensure the requirements of the contract are provided as specified, and ensure SP compliance with aircraft and equipment technical data and applicable AF directives. The QMS is one of the most important aspects in maintaining contract compliance. The QMS is the cornerstone for meeting mission requirements, customer expectations, and reduced contract costs and must continuously strive to improve the quality of maintenance and evaluation processes. Inability to maintain customer expectations or failure of the QMS will be considered one of the most serious contractual violations.

2.1.11.1. The QMS shall promote a proactive process/product/service improvement program, a safe working environment and quality initiatives. The QMS shall be designed to improve mission readiness by ensuring personnel, aircraft, support equipment, supplies and other Government assets meet or exceed established performance standards. The QMS must have a clearly defined, independent, unbiased inspection process that will effectively measure how well the maintenance organization meets or exceed standards. The QMS shall allow management emphasis to be placed where and when necessary to resolve or correct identified negative trends and problem areas. As a minimum, the SP’s QCP shall encompass deficiency reporting, product improvement program, weight and balance program, impoundment program, functional check flight program, technical order distribution office, Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and Dropped Object program and the One Time Inspection (OTI) program.

2.1.11.2. The SP shall develop a written QCP that addresses how the SP will evaluate the quality of maintenance and the compliance of focus areas, programs, and processes. The QCP shall contain a “detection” element (number of inspections, types of inspections, frequency of inspections, AQLs) and an “identification” element containing detailed Root Cause Analysis (RCA) processes and its components to deal with SP Quality Control (QC) and Government identified discrepancies. The QCP shall outline the SP’s Trend Analysis process and describe its’ methodologies. The QCP shall integrate a data collection capability to provide an overall picture of maintenance quality, capability, program compliance and process effectiveness. The SP shall use the data collected to proactively monitor and control the quality of maintenance and adherence to programs and processes. Findings will be used to focus the SPs’ attention on correcting/preventing maintenance and program issues. By using collected data to identify problems and negative trends, the SP shall implement corrective actions to eliminate or minimize these problems and negative trends.

2.1.11.2.1. The SP shall provide a copy of the QCP to the COR and CO for review and acceptance NLT the pre-performance conference. Anytime changes are made to this plan, they shall be submitted to the COR prior to submittal to the CO for acceptance. QC Inspectors shall not perform maintenance or be augmentees to other work centers.

2.1.11.2.2. The QCP shall include the minimum routine quality verification and program management inspection requirements and the inspection criteria/baselines contained in this PWS. The SP shall ensure the QCP has provisions for the following:

2.1.11.2.2.1. Quality Verification Inspections (QVI): The SP shall establish an inspection system to determine condition, preservation, safety, reliability and serviceability of all assigned Government assets.

2.1.11.2.2.2. Personnel Evaluations (PE). The SP shall establish a personnel evaluation system to determine personnel proficiency, to include the quality of training, to enhance mission performance and the preservation of Government assets. Evaluation methods shall be designed to identify weak or problem areas concerning safety of flight, safety of Government equipment operation, quality of workmanship, and promote employee full participation in quality improvement efforts.

2.1.11.2.2.3. Program Management (PM) Inspections: The SP shall establish an inspection process designed to assess each work center’s management programs. See Table 2.1.11.4 and Section 3-2.

2.1.11.2.2.4. Observations. The SP shall establish a means to identify, record and correct maintenance safety and technical violations. Observations include: Detected Safety Violation (DSV)s, Technical Data Violation (TDV)s, Unsatisfactory Condition Report (UCR)s.

The database shall provide a means to determine if the frequency of identified discrepancies warrants improvements to applicable technical data or other directives.

2.1.11.7. QCP Summary. The SP shall establish and publish a monthly summary of all QC actions. As a minimum, the summary shall include all findings for equipment inspections and personnel evaluations. The summary shall also include a specific summary of open and closed discrepancies that were discovered by COR and SP QC inspectors. Open discrepancies will continue to be listed each month until they are closed. This summary shall be provided to the COR and HQ AETC/A4PM, NLT seven business days after the end of each month.

2.1.11.8. Quality Review/Multi-Functional Team (MFT) Meeting. The SP shall meet periodically with the FC, COR, and the CO to promote a “partnership” in identifying and resolving negative trends, achieve clarifications, and to discuss and resolve issues. The SP shall be required to meet during the first month of the contract. Thereafter, upon SP, CO, FC or COR request, meetings may be convened. The CO will provide written minutes of these meetings.

2.1.11.9. The SP shall establish Acceptable Quality Levels (AQL)/baselines. An AQL/baseline denotes the maximum allowable number of minor discrepancies that may be charged for a task to be rated “Pass”. The AQLs listed in paragraph 2.1.11.12 shall be used to determine acceptable/unacceptable criteria for QC and COR inspections.

2.1.11.9.1. The SP shall follow major/minor discrepancy definitions/classification and guidance in AFI 21-101, Chapter 6.

2.1.11.9.2. All Quality Verification Inspections (QVI) and Personnel Evaluations (PE) will receive a “Fail” rating when a major, or Red X discrepancy is detected, or the number of minor discrepancies exceeds the established AQL/baseline.

2.1.11.9.3. All QVIs and PEs shall be performed by evaluating, as a minimum, 50 percent of the work card items or steps. The SP shall document items inspected in the aircraft forms, and

Sheppard AFB Applicable To All Services

2-1-15 on the inspection documentation form. In the event of a corresponding COR inspection/surveillance, the SP shall be responsible for all items and steps.

2.1.11.9.4. QVIs and PEs include a review of the aircraft or equipment forms and the MIS for proper documentation applicable to the job being evaluated; checking for proper and current technical data usage; proper tool usage; and after maintenance foreign object (FO) checks of the area in which the task was performed.

2.1.11.9.5. FO Inspection Criteria: As a minimum, the discovery of any object or extraneous material, hard or soft FO, shall result in a ”Fail” rating when any of the following conditions are met: The FO is near, or has the potential to migrate to, control rods, cables, actuators, hinges and any other operating mechanism, and/or when the FO is conductive and has the potential to migrate into electrical/electronic components; FO within 50 feet of an aircraft parking or engine operating area, or within 10 feet of an aircraft or engine in a maintenance area; e.g., hangars, phase docks, wash rack, etc..
