Industry Wide Alert System
Clear and honest communication is the key to guaranteeing quality in these
industries. The QPL has established a system of advising QPMC and QPG
members about the state of conformance of products listed on the PRI-QPL.
When PRI is notified by a supplier, user or auditor of a possible material discrepancy
on a QPL listed product, the QPMC and QPG are immediately notified. This
notification can save users untold dollars in recalls and rework. Corrective actions
are communicated to the QPG until the issue is resolved. Once the QPG approves
the corrective action, the QPMC is notified.
The Value of the Industry Wide Alert System
Manufacturer conducted the wrong tests which resulted in the recall of 7 out of 11
products being installed on commercial aircraft.
Aircraft fuel systems component was manufactured from the wrong type of material
resulting in parts being pulled from inventory preventing it from being installed on an
aircraft. If installed, it could have resulted in an engine fire.
Approved QPL parts that previously passed final inspection were pulled during
a Nadcap Audit compliance job and were found to contain defects resulting in
removal from the QPL, preventing an escape.
Supplier reported failure of their required periodic testing resulting in PRI notifying
QPMC members. An investigation was launched by the QPG to determine cause of
the failure.
