Additional information was obtained from the Ameron QA Manager by phone on 5/16/97 to supplement the status report.

Below is a summary of the WCNOC/SQ evaluation. It is requested that Ameron provide another status report by 7/1/97. Ameron should state in the report what specific and detailed actions have been taken to date and provide the additionalinformation requested.

J As stated in the WCNOC/SQ letter dated 3/28/97, these updates are important to ensure that corrective action due dates are being met and implemented as required.

l 01/97-009 Open Detailed corrective action status update due 7/1/97. Per the Ameron QA Manager on 5/16/97, the in-coming audits of all calibrated equipment refer to calibration validation by Ameron's in-house standards, traceable to NIST. However, j

Ameron must ensure that in-house validation of calibrated equipment will be conducted in accordance with approved procedr e.

01/97-010 Open Detailed conective action status update due 7/1/97. Per the Ameron QA Manager on 5/16/97, the corrective action target date has been pushed out one month due to schedule slippage of a computer system installation. WCNOC requests that i

Ameron concentrate its efforts on the immediate corrective actions that are separate from the installation of the computer system.

01/97-011 Open Detailed corrective action status update due 7/1/97. Ameron noted that all calibrations were brought up to date, as of 4/28/97. Per the Ameron QA Manager on 5/16/97, no M&TE was found to be out of tolerance.

O. Box 411 Burlington, Kansas 66839 Attention: Terry Krause, Supplier Quality Specialist Subject Corrective Action Status Report 4

Dear Mr. Krause,

Per your request please find attached a Status Report identifying the progress that Ameron is making with our Corrective Action Plan to address the Nonconformities identrfied during you recent audit. As you can see by the attached report, the implementation of the corrective actions have meet or were earlier than the proposed completion target dates for that respective corrective action. I expect that we shall remain on schedule.

As you know, several of our Corrective Action Plans hinge on the installation of the new business computer system. The computer system project appears to be remaining on schedule and should not have a detnmental effect on our Corrective Action schedule.

The additional response you have requested on 01/97-008 is as follows: we are incorporating the requirement of either MIL STD 45662A or ANSI Z540 in all Ameron Purchase Orders issued to calibration suppliers (Note 1).

Conceming 01/97-009, as we have discussed previously, Ameron is implementing an ina:oming audit of all calibrated equipment. This should eliminate the requirement of doing On srte audtts for these l

particular vendors (Note 2).

On finding 01/97-004A conceming Bill Wilson's Lead Auditor Certification, we have contacted B. Wilson. He has indicated that he does not possess a copy of his Lead Auditor Certificate and that l

he had given it to Ameron Human Resources for their recon!s B. When's Human Resource files in both Brea and Little Rock have been investigated and no cedit cate has been located. The personal files that B. Wilson left with Ameron when he resigned have been gone through and no certrficate has been located. We have exhausted our avenues of investigation in this matter and conclude that we will not be able to supply this document.

l If you have further questions or require additional information, please contact me.

Sincerely, A
