The WARP opening main page and all subsequent pages contain multiple navigational aids to guide you through the process of inputting information necessary for creating a new ammunition data card. An online users manual will provide additional help in the development of an ammunition data card and it is recommended that you download and read the users manual prior to inputting your initial data card. The user's manual also contains screen shots, which depict what the inputter will see during the ADC input process. Ammunition Data Card Input ADC input allows current contractors and government facilities the capability to create, and submit for approval, ADCs which meet the format requirement of MIL-STD-1168B. ADCs are automatically forwarded to the respective Governmental Agency Responsible for Acceptance (GARA). The GARA, in most cases the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Quality Assurance Representative (QAR), reviews contractor input for accuracy and completeness, and after updating the disposition code for the specific lot, submits the ADC to the database. The inputter is granted access only to ADCs identified with its specific manufacturing code, as identified in MIL-HDBK-1461A, Manufacturer's Symbols. The use of previously inputted ADCs through the TEMPLATE option, significantly reduces input effort, while increasing accuracy and consistency of data. Email Notification WARP provides immediate, automated notification to process participants when actions are required. When the producer has completed an ADC submission, an email message is routed to the GARA advising that an ADC awaits review and approval. If the GARA approves the ADC as submitted, the ADC is released to the base and an email, with approved data card, is routed back to the originator. If the ADC requires modification or correction to be in accordance with MIL-STD-1168B requirements, an email is provided to the ADC originator advising that corrective action is required prior to approval. Information Updates It is important that the System Administrators are apprised when a producer receives a new contract. The producer shall notify ***@*** within 30 days after receipt of a new contract. Information to be included shall be the contract number, item, GARA, Manufacturer's identification symbol and the names of the individuals who will be inputting ADCs into the system. If you are a new producer and do not have a Manufacturer's identification symbol, you can obtain one by sending an email to ***@***. The email must contain manufacturer's name, address where performance of the contract will take place, and a point of contact. (End of statement of work) (CS7200) REFERENCE NO.

The WARP opening main page and all subsequent pages contain multiple navigational aids to guide you through the process of inputting information necessary for creating a new ammunition data card. An online users manual will provide additional help in the development of an ammunition data card and it is recommended that you download and read the users manual prior to inputting your initial data card. The user's manual also contains screen shots, which depict what the inputter will see during the ADC input process. Ammunition Data Card Input ADC input allows current contractors and government facilities the capability to create, and submit for approval, ADCs which meet the format requirement of MIL-STD-1168B, ADCs are automatically forwarded to the respective Governmental Agency Responsible for Acceptance (GARA). The GARA, in most cases the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Quality Assurance Representative (QAR), reviews contractor input for accuracy and completeness, and after updating the disposition code for the specific lot, submits the ADC to the database. The inputter is granted access only to ADCs identified with its specific manufacturing code, as identified in MIL-HDBK-1461A, Manufacturer's Symbols. The use of previously inputted ADCs through the TEMPLATE option, significantly reduces input effort, while increasing accuracy and consistency of data. Email Notification HARP provides immediate, automated notification to process participants when actions are required. When the producer has completed an ADC submission, an email message is routed to the GARA advising that an ADC awaits review and approval. If the GARA approves the ADC as submitted, the ADC is released to the base and an email, with approved data card, is routed back to the originator, If the ADC requires modification or correction to be in accordance with MIL-STD-1168B requirements, an email is provided to the ADC originator advising that corrective action is required prior to approval. Information Updates It is important that the System Administrators are apprised when a producer receives a new contract. The producer shall notify ***@*** within 30 days after receipt of a new contract. Information to be included shall be the contract number, item, GARA, Manufacturer's identification symbol and the names of the individuals who will be inputting ADCs into the system. If you are a new producer and do not have a Manufacturer's identification symbol, you can obtain one by sending an email to ***@***. The email must contain manufacturer's name, address where performance of the contract will take place, and a point of contact.

The control charts shall be provided to the Government for review at any time upon request. | g. When the process or operation parameter under control has demonstrated both stability and capability, the Contractor shall request, in writing, through Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and Contracting Officer (CO) channels to the Product Assurance and Test Directorate, that acceptance inspection or testing performed in accordance with contract requirements be reduced or eliminated. Upon approval by the CO, acceptance shall then be based upon the accepted SPC plan, procedures, practices and the control charts. h. The Government will not consider requests for reduction or elimination of 100% acceptance inspection and testing of parameters or characteristics identified as critical in the technical data package, specifications or drawings of this contract if any one of the following conditions exist: (1) The existing process currently utilizes a fully automated, cost effective, and sufficiently reliable method of 100% acceptance inspection or testing for an attribute-type critical parameter or characteristic. (2) The Contractor utilizes attribute SPC control chart methods for the critical parameter or characteristic. (3) The critical parameter or characteristic is a first order, single point safety failure mode (nonconformance of the critical parameter or characteristic in and of itself would cause a catastrophic failure). i. The Government will only consider reduction or elimination of the 100% acceptance inspection or test requirement for other critical parameters or characteristics if either of the following conditions are met: (1) The process is in a state of statistical control utilizing variable control chart methods for the critical parameter or characteristic under control and the process performance index (Cpk) is at least 2.0. The Contractor shall maintain objective quality evidence through periodic audits that the process performance index is being maintained for each production delivery. (2) The critical parameter or characteristic is conclusively shown to be completely controlled by one or more process or operation parameters earlier in the process, and those parameters are in a state of statistical control utilizing variable data, and the product of the probability of the conformance for each earlier parameter associated to the critical characteristic is better than or equal to a value equivalent to that provided by a Cpk of at least 2.0. The Contractor shall maintain objective quality evidence through periodic audits that the process performance indexes are being maintained for each production delivery. j. For characteristics other than critical, requests for reduction or elimination of acceptance inspection and testing shall be PADDS ERRATA SHEET PAGE 11 PIIN/SIIN W52P1J-04-C-0103 MOD/AMD considered when the process performance index is greater than or equal to a Cpk of 1.33 for variables data. Requests shall be considered for attributes data when the percent beyond the specification limits is less than or equal to .003 (Cpk=l.33). k. Process or operation parameters under reduced or eliminated inspection or testing that undergo a break in production less than 6 months in length, may continue to operate under reduced or eliminated inspection or testing provided there has been no degradation below a Cpk of 1.33 (2.0 for criticals). Any break in production greater than 6 months shall require resubmission of the request for reduction or elimination of inspection or testing through the same channels cited in paragraph g above. l. Not used. m. Immediately following a change to a process or operation parameter under reduced or eliminated inspectior, the process capability (Cp) or process performance indexes (Cpk) shall be recalculated and documented for variable data; the grand average fraction defective shall be recalculated for attribute data. If any of these values have deteriorated, immediate notification shall be made to the Government along with the associated documentation. Return to original inspection and test requirements may be imposed as stipulated in paragraph n below. n. The Government reserves the right to withdraw authorization to reduce or eliminate final acceptance inspection or testing and direct the Contractor to return to original contract inspection or test procedures at any indication of loss of process control or deterioration of quality. (End of clause) (ES6034)
a. Rework and Repair are defined as follows: (1) Rework - The reprocessing of nonconforming material to make it conform completely to the drawings, specifications or contract requirements. (2) Repair - The reprocessing of nonconforming material in accordance with approved written procedures and operations to reduce, but not completely eliminate, the nonconformance. The purpose of repair is to bring nonconforming material into a usable condition. Repair is distinguished from rework in that the item after repair still does not completely conform to all of the applicable drawings, specifications or contract requirements. b. Rework procedures along with the associated inspection procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted to the Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) for review prior to implementation. Rework procedures are subject to the QAR's disapproval. c. Repair procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted on a Request for Deviation/Waiver, DD Form 1694, to the Contracting Officer for review and written approval prior to implementation. d.

Unless otherwise stated in Section C, characteristics classified as Special shall be subject to all requirements herein associated with Critical (II) and Level (II) Critical nonconformances. e. Contractor Identified Critical Characteristics List (CICCL). Not including critical characteristics defined in the governments technical data (drawings, specifications, etc.), the contractor shall identify and document all material, component, subassembly and assembly characteristics whose nonconformances may result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining or depending upon the product. All additional critical characteristics identified by the contractor shall comply with the critical characteristic requirements of the technical data package, supplemented herein. The contractors additional critical characteristics shall be classified as Critical (I) or Critical (II), and shall be reviewed and approved by the procuring activity prior to manufacturing (DI-SAFT-80970A). The following definitions are provided. Level I critical nonconformance. A nonconformance of a critical characteristic that judgment and experience indicate would result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining or depending upon the product; or a nonconformance that judgment and experience indicate would prevent performance of the tactical function of a weapon system or major end item. The following (as a minimum) are classified as Level I critical nonconformances: (1) A nonconformance that will result in a hazardous or unsafe condition (often referred to as a single point failure). (2) A nonconformance that will remove or degrade a safety feature (such as those in a safe and arm device or fuzing system). (3) A nonconformance that will result in violation of mandatory safety policies or standards. Level II critical nonconformance: A nonconformance of a critical characteristic, other than Level I. This includes the nonconformance of a characteristic that judgment and experience indicate may, depending upon the degree of variance from the design requirement, the presence of other nonconformances or procedural errors,: (1) result in a hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining or depending upon the product, or (2) prevent performance of the tactical function of a major end item. f. In the event that a Critical nonconformance is found anywhere in the production process, the contractor, as part of his quality system, shall have procedures in place to ensure: (1) The nonconformance is positively identified and segregated so that there is no possibility of the item inadvertently re-entering the production process. This control shall be accomplished without affecting or impairing subsequent defect analysis. (2) The operation that produced the defective component or assembly and any other operations incorporating that component or assembly is immediately stopped. (3) The government is immediately notified of the critical nonconformance (telephonically and electronic mail.)(DI-SAFT-80970A). (4) Any suspect material (material in process that may contain the same defect) is identified, segregated and suspended from any further processing. (5) An investigation is conducted to determine the cause of the deficiency and required corrective actions. A report of this investigation shall be submitted to the government (DI-SAFT-80970A) . The use of the DID report shall not delay notification to the government. (6) A request to restart manufacturing or to use any suspect material associated with the critical nonconformance is submitted to the government (DI-SAFT-80970A). Restart of production shall not occur until the investigations are complete or upon authorization from the procuring contracting officer. All objective evidence of the investigations to date shall be available for review at the time of restart. Suspect materiel found to be nonconforming shall not be used without Government approval. g. The contractor may develop alternative plans and provisions relative to government or contractor identified Critical level (I) and Critical Level (II) characteristics. The provisions shall be submitted to the government for advanced approval and shall address the following: (1) Complete explanation of potential failure mode(s} together with supporting historical and statistical data. (2) Pre-established plan of action (POA) to be taken when a critical nonconformance occurs and a description of controls to ensure there is no possibility of the nonconforming item inadvertently entering the production process. (3) Means of tracking nonconformance rate, investigative results and corrective actions taken. (4) Method to immediately verify that a produced critical nonconformance is consistent with the identified failure mode(s) and does not exceed the historical nonconformance rate. The contractor can resume production without specific government approval based upon the pre-approved alternate plans and provisions for Critical (I) characteristics and level (I) Critical nonconformances and Critical (II) characteristics and level (II) Critical PADDS ERRATA SHEET PAGE 13 PIIN/SIIN W52P1J-04-C-0103 MOD/AMD nonconformances. h. If a critical nonconformance is discovered during further processing or loading, the original manufacturer who introduced the critical nonconformance shall bear responsibility for the nonconformance. i.
