Lot numbers shall be used for all ammunition end items and their major components, including inert, dummy, or non-energetic items and components. When not required by technical data package and not an end item or major component, the component lot number may be constructed through contractor lot number convention.

(f) The flowdown of the requirement for component ADCs generated via WARP is highly encouraged for other items not identified in paragraph (d) above when the prime contractor is purchasing components, assemblies, and subassemblies from subcontractors or vendors.

(g) All component RFD/ECPs shall be listed on the ADC for the deliverable item, as well as on the component ADC, when that component is identified in paragraph (d) above. The WARP users manual provides information on the level of detail required.

(h) A sample ADC shall be developed and submitted to the WARP system 30 days prior to First Article testing or 30 days prior to production in the event a first article is not required. The WARP ADC program will not allow the submission of additional ADCs until such time as the sample ADC has been approved in the system.

Process Capability, Control and Improvement Requirements_________________________________________________________

(a) The Contractor shall establish a Process Control System that Includes, but is not limited to, procedures, systems and software.

This Process Control System shall complement the requirements of an ISO 9001-2015 or equivalent Quality Management System as well as all contract quality requirements. Statistical Process Control (SPC), when utilized, shall be implemented in accordance with ISO 11462-1 and ANSI/ASQC B1, B2, and B3 or equivalent. A Process Control Plan (PCP), which describes actions and methods to assure production processes will be in a state of control, shall be submitted to the Government for review and acceptance as stipulated on DD Form 1423.

Demonstration of process capability in accordance with the accepted PCP shall be accomplished prior to or at first article (if required)

11 35

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

or prior to start of production. Acceptance of product shall be contingent on verification of acceptable process capability in accordance with the accepted PCP, provided all other contractual requirements are met. The Government reserves the right to withhold acceptance of product when there is evidence of noncompliance to the PCP. Should a finding of noncompliance to the PCP be made, a corrective action plan shall be submitted to the Government.

(b) Characteristics for process control are as follows:

[ ] (1) Characteristics for process control are attributes or features whose variation have a significant effect on product fit, form, function, performance, service life or producibility, that require specific actions for the purpose of controlling variation.

Characteristics for process control result from an in depth Government-only review and analysis as specified in Technical Data Package

(TDP) documentation as required below:

[ ](1.1) Government selected list, see paragraph g below

[ ](1.2) As listed key characteristics

[ ] (2) Characteristics for process control are attributes or features whose variation have a significant effect on product fit, form, function, performance, service life or producibility, that require specific actions for the purpose of controlling variation.

Characteristics for process control shall be determined using an in-depth Contractor review and analysis as specified in the PCP documentation. The Government reserves the right to identify any characteristics for process control as well as any additional characteristics identified in paragraph g.

[X] (3) Characteristics for process control are features within a product, subassembly, part and process whose variation from nominal (i.e., target value) significantly impacts safety, performance in terms of customers requirements, or final cost of a product.

Special controls should be applied where the cost of variation justifies the cost of control. These shall be developed from an in depth

Government-Contractor review and analysis of design as specified in paragraph g below.

(c) The Contractors analysis shall include processes and operations under the control of the prime Contractor and those under the control of sub-Contractor including subtier suppliers. The Contractor shall create a process flow chart for the entire process

(including manufacturing, inspection and material handling) and perform Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) for all processes identified on the process flow chart [If option b(3) is selected, a PFMEA and process flow chart will not be necessary]. The

Contractor shall identify, define and document specific controls applicable for each process and operation that affects all characteristics required for control. The Contractor shall: (a) conduct process capability studies on all process and operation parameters affecting characteristics for process control; (b) verify that all automated inspection equipment used to validate process capability has been properly calibrated and certified; and (c) conduct Measurement System Analysis (MSA) studies on all applicable corresponding measurement systems utilized to monitor process capability.

(d) The Contractor shall prepare and implement a PCP. The PCP shall be based upon and include the process flow chart, PFMEA [If option b(3) is selected, a PFMEA and process flow chart will not be necessary], process capability studies and Measurement System Analysis

(MSA)for all process and operation parameters affecting characteristics for process control. For each characteristic, the PCP shall describe the entire process (including manufacturing, inspection and material handling), control methods and action plans for all out of control conditions and process capability at the stated production rates. When utilizing statistical methods, a process capability index such as Cpk shall be calculated. A characteristic for process control shall be considered to have an acceptable (and capable) process if it has a Cpk of at least 2.00 for Critical characteristics, 1.33 for all other characteristics selected for control, or as stated as follows: -1-. The Contractor shall notify the Government when the minimum process capability values (Cpk) of 2.00 for

Critical characteristics and 1.33 for all other characteristics for process control, or the alternative established minimum Cpk values, are no longer being maintained.

(e) In accordance with MIL-STD-1916 the Contractor may request, in writing, that alternate methods of acceptance be evaluated once the processes and applicable operation parameters have been demonstrated to be both stable and capable. Any alternate methods may not be implemented until accepted by the Contracting Officer.

(f) Corrective Action Requests (CARs) and Requests For Deviations (RFDs) generated for identification of product nonconformances shall result in an evaluation of the Process Control Plan (PCP). The evaluation will consider addition of new characteristics for process control to the contractually required process control list and require implementation of actions per paragraphs (c) and (d) above with submittal to the PCO for Government acceptance. If the CARs and RFDs are related to characteristics, processes and/or operations already identified in the PCP then those actions required by paragraphs (c) and (d) will be reassessed and submitted to the PCO for

Government acceptance. The Government reserves the right to withhold acceptance of product until the revised PCP is accepted by the

Government.

(g) If box b(1)[1.1], b(2) or b(3) are checked above, the selected characteristics and applicable tools, techniques, control methods or method of analysis to obtain these are specified as follows: To be determined after contract award after in depth Government-Contractor review and analysis of design

MIL-STD-1916

The Department of Defense (DoD) Preferred Methods for this Acceptance of Product, MIL-STD-1916, shall be used for this procurement action. All references to MIL-STD-105, MIL-STD-414, MIL-STD-1235, and ANSI Z1.4 appearing in the Technical Data Package (TDP) are replaced by MIL-STD-1916. Verification Levels (VL) shall replace AQLs and shall be VL IV for major characteristics and VL II for minor characteristics.

Critical Characteristic Control_______________________________

(a) The contractors processes shall be designed with the objective of preventing the creation or occurrence of non-conforming critical characteristics (see paragraphs d & e). The contractor shall establish, document and maintain a product specific, critical characteristics control (CCC) plan that shall be submitted to and approved by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) IAW DD Form 1423.

The CCC plan shall include or reference all procedures, work and handling instructions and process controls relating to any critical characteristics. Mistake Proofing techniques of the material handling and inspection systems shall be a part of the CCC Plan. Guidance for developing this plan and submitting Critical Plans of Action (CPOA) (paragraph g) can be found at http://www.ardec.army.mil/organizations/QESA/ .

(b) The contractor shall assure its critical processes are robust in design, capable and under control, with the objective of not generating any critical non-conformances. The contractor shall calculate, document, clearly identify, and have a schedule that routinely assess the reliability and effectiveness of its critical processes to prevent generating critical non-conformances as identified in the

CCC Plan.

(c) An inspection and verification system shall be employed that will verify the robustness of all critical processes. The contractor shall calculate, document, clearly identify, and have a schedule that routinely assess the reliability and effectiveness of its inspection and verification system to detect and prevent critical non-conformance escapes as identified in the CCC Plan. The Government expects that a contractor will allow zero critical escapes. To demonstrate its critical escape risk the contractor will utilize the nonconformance escape risk goal provided below.

(1) Unless otherwise specified immediately below, the calculated critical non-conformance escape risk is 1 in a million (.000001) items delivered. Or:

Alternate calculated Critical Non-conformance Escape risk: -1-

Unless otherwise approved by the PCO, the non-conformance escape risk is the sum of the individual characteristic escape rates. The probability of escape for a single characteristic shall be calculated by multiplying the non-conformance rate(s) entering the inspection system(s) by the error rate of the inspection system(s). These escape rates are then summed and shall not exceed the tolerable critical non-conformance escape risk.

(2) Within 45 days after award, the contractor can elect to submit a phased-in approach on how the non-conformance escape risk will be achieved over a period of time not to exceed 180 days from the date of first article approval, or from initiation of production when first article is not required. Submission will require approval by the Government and is subject to a technical review and analysis.

Allowance for a phased-in approach will then become a part of the contract. Disapproval of the contractors submission does not relieve the contractor of its obligation to comply with the terms of this requirement.

(3) Based on the maximum error rate defined for the inspection system, the contractor shall develop a test procedure to demonstrate the error rate. As part of the test plan the contractor shall include sufficient test quantities to assure 90% statistical confidence in the resultant rates unless otherwise approved by the PCO. Once established, the contractor shall have a documented schedule to routinely monitor the non-conformance and inspection system error rates to assure they do not exceed the maximum rates allotted.

(d) As a result of previous practices, the governments technical data may refer to Critical I, Critical II, and Special characteristics.

The use of the term critical characteristics within this section includes Critical I, Critical II and Special characteristics and the use of the term critical nonconformances includes those nonconformances pertaining to Critical I, Critical II and Special characteristics. Unless otherwise stated in Section C, these characteristics shall be subject to all requirements of this section.

(e) In addition to critical characteristics defined in the governments technical data (drawings, specifications, etc.), the contractor shall also identify and document in its contractor developed technical data all known material, component, subassembly and assembly characteristics whose non-conformances would likely result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining or depending upon the product. All additional critical characteristics identified by the contractor shall comply with the critical characteristic requirements of the technical data package, supplemented herein. The Critical Item Characteristic List (CICL) review process shall be included in the CCC Plan. The contractors additional critical characteristics shall be classified in accordance with guidance located at http://www.ardec.army.mil/organizations/QESA/ and shall be submitted to and approved by the PCO prior to production (see DD Form 1423).

(f) In the event that a critical non-conformance is found anywhere in the production process, the contractor, as part of its CCC Plan, shall have procedures in place to ensure:

(1) The non-conformance is positively identified and segregated to ensure that nonconforming product does not inadvertently remain

13 35

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

in or reenter the production process. This control shall be accomplished without affecting or impairing subsequent non-conformance analysis. Final disposition of non-conforming product shall be documented and audited for traceability.

(2) The operation that produced the non-conforming component or assembly and any other operations incorporating suspect components or assemblies are immediately stopped. (See para h. for exceptions)

(3) The government (PCO) is immediately notified of the critical non-conformance (electronic mail)(See DD Form 1423).

(4) Any suspect material is identified, segregated and suspended from any further processing and shipment.

(5) An investigation is conducted to determine the root cause of the non-conformance and the required corrective actions. An evaluation shall also be conducted with regard to suspect material to ensure that no additional critical non-conformances are present. A report of this investigation shall be submitted to the government (See DD Form 1423). The use of the DID report shall not delay notification to the government as required in f(3) above.

(6) A request to restart manufacturing or to use any suspect material associated with the critical non-conformance is submitted to the government (see DD Form 1423). Restart of production shall not occur until authorized by the PCO, unless previously addressed in the approved CCC Plan. The Government will respond to a restart request within 3 working days. All objective evidence of the investigations to date shall be available for review at the time of restart. Suspect material shall not be used without PCO approval.

(7) The procuring activity reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any suspect material until the root cause or reasonably likely cause of the critical non-conformance has been identified, corrective action has been fully implemented and sufficient evidence has been provided to exclude non-conforming material from the conforming population.

(g) The contractor may develop alternative plans and provisions, collectively referred to as a Critical Plan of Action (CPOA), relative to government or contractor identified critical characteristics. All CPOAs are independent and shall be evaluated by the government for this contract.
