- l. During our meeting on April 23,1990, you and G. Moran, K. Richardt, and K. Carrington of your L staff summarized the actions that SPEC has taken to correct all of the issues previously identified Your staff also presented the framework of your program to improve the safety and
!- quality attitude at SPEC. This frair.s.:n-k centered on the following five Quality Operating Principles: (1) Management must take the lead (2) Focus on the customer, (3) Streamline processes, (4) Empower people, and (5) Measurement and data. Lastly, your staff described SPEC's initiatives regarding execution of each of these Quality Operating Principles. Initiatives described by your staff to create a " Quality First" attitude includiyJ infomal and extemal customer focus, implementation of a quality system covering all activities, qua:ity assurance training of workers by Senior Management, worker involvement in defining and improving processes, production line human factors evaluations, stop work authonty by all employees, management spot audits, quality assurance intomal audits, an independent third party audit, and an independent formal assessment of company attitude.
