4 B4.1 Production verification All product characteristics to be measured as per the approved maintenance definition and consistent with the work requested in the customer work order Monitoring / measuring equipment at final verification / inspection shall be independent of that used during rework / repair B4.4 First / Last Article inspection report (FAIR / LAIR) A LAIR is required prior to any source or method change. However, it is accepted that there may be circumstances where it is not possible to complete a LAIR (eg lack of repair arising s). In all such cases, the work will be considered N.P.I. Supplier shall have a working programme/ plan of engine/ module FAI and shall include Measurement System Analysis where applicable. Refer to self assessment guidelines for different FAI requirements for Engine/ Module repair services. 3.3 Programmes of Work Deployed A4.8 Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Incorporation of the intent of WI SP 3-2(A), Foreign object damage/foreign object debris (FOD) prevention including the FOD Programme Assesment Control of C-Class Parts Build Processes: C-class/ low cost parts (including Slave Parts) are provided to the fitter in the exact quantities required and confirmation that the correct numbers have been received is a stampable operation. A visual indicator is used so that the fitter can easily verify if the correct parts have been delivered, prior to commencing the maintenance task. This visual indicator should include a part number and reference critical any part dimensions. Check where the fitter finds himself with too many or too few C-class parts, there should be a process to verify that the right quantities have actually been fitted or to make a risk assessment about shortage or surplus. There should also be a reconciliation process in place. Strip Processes: A process shall exists to control the removal of C Class parts, ensuring that all parts are accounted for and stored or recorded for replacement as needed. Confirmation that the correct number of parts is removed and is a stampable operation. Removal of Slave Parts: A process shall exist to confirm that all slave parts have been removed from the engine in the correct quantities. Confirmation that the correct number of parts is removed is a stampable operation. The supplier shall not hold C Class line side stock and must be stored remote from the site of use in a controlled storage area that formally records and books out any withdrawals under a formal inventory control system. Effectiveness of the process shall be monitored, ensuring that where mandatory items are breached; there shall be an investigation to verifiy the failure leading to the event. A5.7 Corrective Action Eight Disiplines (8D) - As part of our Continuous Improvement activities we require ourselves (Rolls- Royce) and suppliers to raise the standard of problem solving to prevent the recurrence of quality issues. All suppliers within the Rolls-Royce Aerospace supply chain are required to improve their problem solving capability. B3.8 Identification, traceability and serialisation Prior to the release of product all requirements of the mod dec have been completed and verified, including electronically updating the mod dec to confirm that the modifications have been incorporated during this shop visit. For large assemblies a sample of detail parts should be reviewed. Control of C-Class Parts o C-class/ low cost parts are to be provided to the fitter in the exact quantities required to rebuild Rolls-Royce 2016 Page 4 of 7 Issue 2

5 the module / engine. o If the fitter finds themselves with too many or too few C-class parts, there should be a process to verify that the right quantity has actually been fitted or to make a risk assessment about shortage or surplus. There should also be a reconciliation process in place. Discretionary o C-class/ low cost parts are provided in a fishing tackle box or other container that makes it clear when the right parts are not present or are in the wrong quantity. o Where the fitter finds themselves with too many or too few C-class/ low cost parts, a process is to exist to identify the root cause for this and prevent reoccurance. 4.

6 5.1 Self-Assessment for New Suppliers or Suppliers extending their existing workscope capability eg workscope increased from Engine Overhaul to include Component Repair; The Self Assessment tool has been developed to provide an initial view of the level of supplier compliance to SABRe (Edition 2) The Self Assessment will be carried out by the supplier using SABRe (Edition 2) and the appropriate Compliance Requirements and will always be followed up by a review with RR which may require a site visit prior to the full audit depending on the Self-Assessment response Use the Self-Assessment template for your business A full audit shall be conducted by Rolls-Royce at the Suppliers facility in accordance with 5.2 below 5.2 Existing Suppliers A full audit may be conducted by Rolls-Royce covering the scope of existing capability dependent upon a risk assessment The critieria and applicability of the audit will be against the relevant Compliance Requirements for your business. The gaps identified shall be closed within the established timescales set by Rolls-Royce either through the non-conformance closure process or through an approved quality plan. 5.3 n Destructive Testing (NDT) Inspection Operations For all NDT inspection operations associated with component repair (except visual and NDT inspections during the sentencing activity following engine disassembly), reject rates shall be monitored. Any change in reject rates from the established norm may indicate that an unexpected change in the repair process has occurred that could affect component integrity. An investigation shall be undertaken to establish the cause of the increase, and a review of all other parts that could have been similarly affected shall be carried out. Measures shall be taken to restore process capability. Whilst the investigation is ongoing and until process capability has been restored, the risk of missing any defects by NDT must be mitigated. This is to be achieved by implementing the following on all parts deemed to be at risk: a) Applicable NDT inspectors shall be made aware of the problem, what to look out for, and where to look for the problem. b) The applicable NDT technique instruction shall be revised to instruct 'Directed Inspection' in the area of interest/concern. c) 100% double inspection/scrutiny shall be performed (i.e., over checking by a second inspector). These risk mitigation actions must remain in place until process capability has been restored. The same risk mitigation actions also must be applied when the repair process is known to generate levels of unacceptable defects that are a product of process and therefore represent an increased risk. Annual maintenance Review: Personnel who operate NDT equipment and/or accept production hardware shall be subject to an annual assessment of NDT inspection performance. The defect finding rates for individual NDT personnel who accept production hardware shall be continuously monitored and checked as part of this annual maintenance review. The defect finding rate is the number of instances that a defect indication is reported by an inspector per NDT method over a period of time, i.e., per week or month. The finding rate should be monitored over time. The results of any investigation must be reported to the Rolls-Royce Global Repair Services (GRS) Laboratory. Rolls-Royce 2016 Page 6 of 7 Issue 2
