Hello everyone,
I'm part of an auditing division at a naval shipyard. Quality is roughly split into nuclear efforts and nonnuclear efforts (I'm in the nonnuc arena). I'm trying to improve quality for the whole shipyard, ~12,000 people.
At a high level, the nonnucs are doing adequately with compliance auditing while beginning to use process auditing. The nuc oversight team has been struggling for <insert reasons>. With that aside, it appears the nucs are trying to reinvigorate their program by auditing to nuclear principles (listed below).
The nucs may document several NCs in an area but want to raise the report severity level by pointing to the one of principles.
I'm curious as to what you Covers might have experienced in a similar situation where oversight leaves the area of compliance and process, and tries to perform oversight to principles.
Nuclear Principles
1. Responsibility is a unique concept
2. Conservatism in design and operation
3. Strong central technical control
4. Verbatim compliance with approved technical procedures
5. Not “living with” deficiencies
6. Formal documentation and communication
7. Selection, training, and qualification of the best people, dedicated to excellence
8. Thorough involvement and review by senior personnel
9. No management system can substitute for hard work
10. Frequent, thorough, and detailed inspections and audits
11. Enforcement of standards
12. The devil is in the details
13. Face facts brutally
14. If you can’t write it down, you can’t understand it
15. Completed staff work
Thanks in advance !!
