Special audits–These are conducted to evaluate specific maintenance tasks, processes, procedures, or programs. They provide a systematic, coordinated method of investigating known deficiencies, evaluating the quality of workmanship, and determining the adequacy of and a d h e r e n c e  t o applicable technical publications/instructions. Special audits are used by QA to monitor those programs specifically assigned to the QA branch for monitoring. Special audits are conducted at the direction of the maintenance officer or QA supervisor on an as required basis. Audit forms, with appropriate checklists, for each work center are developed by QA. Upon completion of an audit, the findings are reviewed with the branch and work center supervisors; and a report of the findings, with recommendations when required, is submitted to the maintenance officer. Records of audits are maintained for 2 years. Adequate follow-up procedures must also be established to ensure that discrepancies found during a QA audit are resolved. Attention from all levels within the V-2 division organization is essential. 3. Annual type commander audit–The cognizant type commander maintenance management team conducts an annual audit of each carrier’s ALRE QA program. The ALREMP, OPNAVINST 4790.15, establishes the maintenance policies, procedures, and responsibilities required to provide an integrated system for performing maintenance and supporting related functions on ship’s installed aircraft launch and recovery systems and associated support systems and equipment. To obtain the full benefits of the QA program, teamwork must first be achieved. Blending QA functions with the interests of the entire division creates a more effective program. Every maintenance person and supervisor must be permitted to use an optimum degree of judgment in the course of daily operations and the performance of daily work assignments. A person’s judgment plays an important part in the quality of the work he performs. QA techniques supply each person with information on actual quality, which provides a challenge to improve the quality of his work. The resulting knowledge encourages the all maintenance personnel.
