1. Executive report Assessment outcome:   The theme for this surveillance visit was to review purchasing at all applicable sites as well as corporate controls applied by Alexandria.   Summary of assessment: One Open Minor Non Conformity Six New Minor Non Conformities Four Requires Correction Two issues for LRQA follow up   No major findings were observed and therefore VSE Corporation is recommended for continuing certification to the ISO9001:2000 standard.   The Coast Guard division is now incorporated in BAV and has been removed from the LRQA certificate. A revised certificate is attached reflecting this change along with corrections from the previous issue.   The theme for the next visit will be project planning which is an important part of VSE business and has already been addressed as an area for improvement by VSE and is identified as a minor non conformity by LRQA. An issue with the use of the LRQA Logo was observed on the website but VSE have agreed to correct the issue and reference the other certifications b re istrars other than LRQA. System effectiveness and continual improvement:   The system at VSE was observed to be effective to deliver customer satisfaction and internal quality driven objectives. Improvements were identified with the use of the Puridiom software which is providing a better reporting system for purchasing.   Primary objectives are generally on target other than contract review CP No 2 and QMS CP No 7which are behind the targets and are being reviewed for action at the management review.   The internal audit process is now performed using the latest Q-Pulse module although more effective reference to findings is necessary in the checklists along with timely action on corrective actions noted. Areas for management attention:   No major areas of concern were identified during this surveillance visit however the following areas require management attention   • Plans – reviewing the process for  Projectgenerating plans to ensure that the plans provide value to the project and an introduction and explanation of project requirements.  Corrective Actions – ensuring that the Q-Pulse process leads to timely documentation and closure • of issues.

Procedure – QMP-106, Procedure Tecnico F056319; QA Workbook Internal Audits: Purchasing, HR CAR- 00322 & 320, 323. Evaluation and conclusions:   Project Management Project USS Kearsarge A project management book has been developed with the project consisting of Project Plan; Quality Plan; Delivery Order; PO; Check off list. QA Work book In addition to the PM workbook a workbook is developed with relevant documentation including: SOW; QA Manual, PCP, POC & Qualifications, Test & Inspection plan VSE & Technico; AIT work.   Minor NC 0901RAB01 It was observed that the customer requirements as detailed in the DO & SOW have not been converted over into requirements of the Quality Plan and the Project plan and do not always reference customer specification requirements such as MIL E 17555 and MIL STD 2042. The current plans in use are very generic and use information that is standard for all projects but fail to provide a detailed plan for the execution of the unique project in question.   Quality Assurance Inspection VSE was a subcontractor to Ki LLC and work was performed against the contract using Test and Inspection Plans and T & I support records. Internal Audits An audit plan is available detailing audits for 2008 in the Chesapeake and Chula Vista facilities Audits have been performed and recorded in Q-Pulse with corrective actions issued as appropriate. Findings are issued as corrective actions and follow the module in Q-pulse. Documentation  Procedures are available for the activities in Chesapeake as required by customer. Quality Records Matrix A quality records matrix is available unique to SELD Chesapeake. Customer Satisfaction Evidence was seen on the system of customer satisfaction surveys as requested by Fleet Maintenance division. The feed back was generally positive although for the second survey it appears that VSE were graded with other suppliers which may not have been a true reflection of the unique performance of VSE. Complaints No complaints are noted for Fleet Chesapeake. Quality Records A quality Matrix is maintained QMF 048 detailing record and retention requirements. Sample of records reviewed as er matrix.
