Contrary to the above:

c. Numerous Nonconformance Reports (twenty-five) were found where in the corrective action was not timely or expeditious as is required by Procedure Number CMP 3.1, Section 1.0. Considerable time passes with no actions taken or the actions taken were incomplete. Some of these issues were "open" for four to twelve montns for no apparent reason. For '
