To all those who wish to learn about Nadcap,I have been involved with over 85 audits for chemical processing and quality systems. I have been a private consultant in the metal finishing industry for over 5 years. I have over 30 years in the plating field. If you are interested in becoming Nadcap certified or you just need help or training in the metal finishing field please contact me.

With all that experience in the plating business and metal finishing, we'll be looking forward to you demonstrating that expertise in answering questions our Covers have about various aspects of metal finishing.

Such FREE advice here in the Cove will help establish your credentials as a credible expert whom people might want to use in paying for advice in such matters. Perhaps You might want to do a search on plating or metal finishing and see if there are some old threads to which you can contribute some expertise. The info you add may not help the original poster asking a question, but will be helpful to others who come across your tidbit when researching a similar situation.

The essence of a public Forum like the Cove is that everything is really on a quid pro quo basis:
Experts "spread their bread upon the waters" by helping out with some answers and, in turn, they get to demonstrate their expertise. Without such contributions to the general pool of free knowledge here, most folks just consider a guy who pops in to say he's available for private consultation as a mooch looking for free advertising.

PM me if you want but I recomend posting here -how else can every one learn or at least relate to your questions or experiance in going thru this.
I have been on both sides of the fence and liked asking the questions a whole lot more than answereing staff engineer questions. Would not concider myself an expert by any means but I do learn from my mistakes and have made enough of them over the years to have learned quite a bit. Nadcap is not as bad as some make out as long as you drop the "this is the way we have always done it" and engauge the pri staff with questions and clarifications before the auditor is on site.
Look forward to your posts.

Is this what NADCAP is short for? (please excuse my ignorance.)
NADCAP - National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (no longer used; Performance Review Institute and Society of Automotive Engineers)
Yes it is what the acronym stands for...

Nadcap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nadcap (formerly NADCAP, the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is a global cooperative standards-setting program for aerospace engineering, defense and related industries.

The acronym went away a couple of years ago just now known as Nadcap, Madcap and #%## these days.
It is a program administered by PRI an non profit entity under SAE.
Primes such as AirBus, Boeing, Goodrich, and others now use this program to address the approval of suppliers performing special processing for them.
While in the begining there were actual standards created for the audits these have gone away you you just now have the checklists themselves.
These are the compilation of what the primes want to have verified. Some of the discussion on what some though were important vrs what others thought was very "intresting". Still lots of discussion on getting out of the "raising the bar" actions and removing these types of questions from the checklists. The dirrective is to all the task groups to make it so but some are slower than others.

You have the base checklist and some sub checklists and depending on the process you can have suplemental checklists that ask questions specific releating to requirements of one of the primes. Most of the auditors have no love for these suplemental checklists and I think that the individual primes should have to deal with them on their own but that is a battle for those above my pay grade. I do not have to deal with them at my location since except for corprate desires and the vauge flowdown in the AirBus Gress program there is no contractual requirement.
We do find that we do get a benifit from haveing a knowldgeable auditor come in and look under the rocks to keep us on our toes. Just human nature to "drift". We get more out of these audits then the AS9100 we go thru.

Something that I didn't hear mentioned here was information about the checklist handbooks. The specific handbooks are very informative for the learner and offer specific examples for objective evidence.
