16 8. MEASUREMENT, ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENT CLIENT FEEDBACK We believe that client satisfaction is an effective way of measuring the performance of AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED.

The questionnaire comprises ten quality attributes covering different aspects of AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED service that the customer is asked to evaluate the outstanding to be best, good, satisfied or poor. Copies of the questionnaire are available in the AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED. INTERNAL AUDITS Internal audits are carried out twice per year, followed by Management Review and prior to certification audits/surveillances. These audits are carried by independent component auditors, and records are kept. All levels of personnel are committed to providing high quality service to customers and have a shared responsibility for the control of non conforming products, correction and corrective/preventive actions. Correction of system or audit nonconformities will be in line with the Internal Audit Procedure templates. Nonconforming product (internal rejects etc.) identified by AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED staff will be corrected immediately and recorded. Root causes of such nonconformities will be identified and corrective action taken. 16 AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED QUALITY MANUAL ISSUE 1, 3rd APRIL 2015

18 CORRECTIVE ACTION In the event of staff identifying nonconforming in either the QMS or products during normal AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED ACTIVITIES (i.e. not as part of an internal audit), details will be discussed with the MR for the possible correction and corrective action. When the nonconformity is a one-off and/or the cause is agreed as a simple oversight, no corrective action may be required. When it s agreed that corrective action is needed, the details of the action must be identified, and arrangements made to complete the action, and to ensure that the action is effective. The MR is responsible for the following up the satisfactory completion of the agreed action, and for verifying the effectiveness. Details of any Corrective Actions are formally discussed and recorded in the next Management Review meeting. HANDLING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS We have a comprehensive policy of handling all complaints immediately. Minor complaints may be handled by the appropriate Account Manager. More serious complaints must be escalated to Director. Customer Complaints must be treated seriously, with particular emphasis on resolving the cause(s) of the complaints. Details of the complaints must be recorded on a Complaints Form and passed to the Operation Manager, who will record the details in a Complaints Register and will ensure that the matter is fully investigated. If the complaint is of a serious nature, the matter must immediately be passed to the Operations Manager, who will decide how to handle the complaint. The Operations Manager or, in his absence, the person who handled the complaint, will ensure that an acknowledgement of the complaint is communicated to the complaint by the end of the next working day. Continuance of communication is vital to prevent the customer becoming more distressed. All complaints that cannot be resolved immediately should be resolved within two weeks. In the event that the complaint is not of a serious nature, and the complaint has been resolved, the number of staff must ensure that the completed original form is passed on to the MR. Every six months the MR will make a report on the complaints recorded in the Complaints Register to identify trends that might lead to preventive action. 18 AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED QUALITY MANUAL ISSUE 1, 3rd APRIL 2015

19 PREVENTIVE ACTION Preventive action can be identified by analysing the risks during the development of new processes, or analysing trends from which preventive action may be identified. Risk analyses will be carried out by the process owner in conjunction with the MR, in which the following risk elements, will be evaluated; 1. The risk of errors occurring in the new process during implementation. 2. The impact of the errors on the next process in the system or the end customer. 3. The likelihood of detecting and correcting the errors before the next process. Trend analyses will be done by, or in conjunction with, the MR, who will specifically analyse relevant information at least twice per year, prior to Management Review, to include the following: Customer feedback information Internal audit reports Internal nonconformities Supplier problems and/or rating information Following the analyses, the MR will submit suggestions for preventive action, and the details will be formally discussed and recorded in the next Management Review meeting. During this stage, those concerned should be consulted to obtain their views on various methods of preventing problems. 19 AVIATOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED QUALITY MANUAL ISSUE 1, 3rd APRIL 2015
