Audit Prep

Need to prepare for an upcoming Nadcap® aerospace audit?

Internal customer or OEM process audit?

Would you like a third party to perform an unbiased audit of your peening operations?

I can set up a new shot or flap peening job shop with the Standard Operating Procedures, Training and all the documents required to meet OEM and industry AMS specifications and Nadcap® Surface Enhancement Checklist requirements.

I can manage the entire Nadcap® accreditation process for your shop from start up to every follow-on audit in the future. I can tailor the support per your specific needs.

James Kernan has the expertise:

  • I have obtained initial Nadcap®  accreditation for Computer Controlled, Automated, Manual and Rotary Flap Peening with only one minor finding at an aerospace job shop.
  • I am experienced in auditing special processes for metal parts manufacturing, typically at a supplier for an OEM or directly at an OEM.
  • I have been a Nadcap® Surface Enhancement Auditor.
  • I have provided shot and flap peen training for over 20 years.
  • I have been a member of the SAE Surface Enhancement Committee (SEC) and Aerospace SEC since 2009. Both committees meet bi-annually to improve and publish the industry standards for shot and flap peening. I was the sponsor for Shot Peening Specifications AMS2430™ Rev S and AMS2432™ Rev D. I was co-sponsor for Rotary Flap Peening Specifications AMS2590™ and SAE AS2592. These specifications feed directly into the Nadcap® Checklist requirements and the peening work you do.
  • I have over 20 years experience in development and execution of shot peening and rotary flap peening of flight safety and critical safety item aerospace parts.
