Repaired or reworked projects are reinspected. Appropriate actions are taken when service/product nonconformity is identified after delivery. When appropriate, corrective and preventive actions are implemented to prevent recurrence of identified nonconformities. PROCEDURAL POLICIES 1. Identification and documentation <<8.3>> 1.1 BPC identifies and documents all service/product nonconformities, regardless of how insignificant they seem to be or how easily they can be repaired or reworked. Service/product nonconformity records are invaluable for tracking performance and trends, and for identifying areas where corrective or preventive actions should be implemented. 1.2 Nonconforming service/product are documented using a nonconformity report. It describes the nonconformity, documents the disposition decision, and records close-out of follow-up activities (reinspection, concessions, corrective actions, etc.). The use of nonconformity report and its processing are explained in Quality Procedure SD-BPC-QHSE-NC, Control of Non-Conforming Product. 2. Nonconformity review and disposition <<8.3>> 2.1 QC inspectors and project supervisors may make the disposition decision for a nonconforming service/product when it is obvious that the service/product must be scrapped or regraded, or when it can be repaired by a simple process without affecting its quality or appearance. In all other cases, Quality Assurance together with Project and, when required, Processing are responsible for making disposition decisions. 2.2 The disposition decision may be: Rework or Repair, Accept As-Is, Regrade, or Scrap. 2.3 Detailed rules for nonconformity review, for making the disposition decision, and for recording these activities are provided in Quality Procedure SD-BPC- BLUE NILE PROCESSING CO.

PROCEDURAL POLICIES 1. General <<8.4>> 1.1 Data and information recorded in Integrated management system records are compiled and analyzed periodically to determine trends in the performance and effectiveness of the integrated management system and to identify opportunities for improvement. 1.2 QHSE is responsible for coordinating these activities, and for reporting conclusions and trends to the top management. This is usually done within the framework of management reviews of the integrated management system, in accordance with QHSE Procedure SD-BPC-QHSE-MR, Management Review. 2.

QUALITY MANUAL Date1/ 9 / 2013 Rev.: 1/0 Doc.No.SD-BPC-QHSE-QM Page 60 of 64 MEASUREMENT, ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENT 8.5 – Continual Improvement GENERAL POLICY BPC deploys continual improvement philosophy throughout the entire organization. The improvement effort is driven by goals defined in the QHSE policy and QHSE objectives. Improvement opportunities are identified by analyzing QHSE performance data and information. Improvement service/product are defined and implemented through the system of corrective and preventive actions and management review actions. Causes of identified nonconformities are investigated and, where appropriate, corrective actions are implemented to ensure that nonconformities do not recur. Preventive actions are implemented to eliminate the causes of potential nonconformities. Corrective and preventive actions taken are recorded and are followed up to ensure that they have been properly implemented and that they are effective. PROCEDURAL POLICIES 1. CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT 1.1 Opportunities for improvement <<8.5.1>> 1.1.1 Opportunities and priorities for improvement are identified by comparing present QHSE performance to objectives defined in the QHSE policy and QHSE objectives. 1.1.2 QHSE performance is determined by analyzing information about Client satisfaction, records of service/productand process nonconformity, results of internal audits, HSE Statistics: vehicle accidents, near miss incidents, personal heath Check up percentage as per policies, hazards due to environment for period on a quarterly basis and review of risk assessments specially for new products and other data and information relevant to QHSE performance. Section 8.4, Analysis of Data, defines the scope and system for collecting and analyzing such information. 1.1.3 QHSE performance is evaluated by management reviews of the Integrated Management system. Where QHSE performance falls short of a defined objective, the management review identifies specific improvement actions to reach the objective. When a QHSE objective is reached, the management review BLUE NILE PROCESSING CO. LTD. QUALITY MANUAL Date1/ 9 / 2013 Rev.: 1/0 Doc.No.SD-BPC-QHSE-QM Page 61 of 64 may set a new, higher objective in this area and specify new improvement actions for reaching it. 1.1.4 This process of facilitating continual improvement though the use of QHSE policy, objectives, and analysis of data, is defined in QHSE Procedures SDBPC-QHSE-CI, Continual Improvement, and SD-BPC-QHSE-MR, Management Review. 1.1.5 In addition to management reviews, departmental managers identify improvement opportunities continually, based on daily feedback form their operations and other activities. Employees are also encouraged to come forward with ideas for improving service/product, processes, systems, projectivity, and working environment. These improvement opportunities are evaluated and prioritized by QHSE and, where appropriate, are implemented though the system of corrective and preventive actions. 1.2 Implementation of improvement service/product <<8.5.1>> 1.2.1 Improvement projects are usually implemented through management review actions and through corrective and preventive actions. Where appropriate, improvement projects may be also initiated by management directives, such as policy statements, announcements, memoranda, and so forth. 2. CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION 2.1 Preventive versus corrective action <<8.5.2, 8.5.3>> 2.1.1 Preventive actions are requested and implemented when there are trends of decreasing quality capability and/or effectiveness of the integrated management system that create a risk for a potential nonconformity. Corrective actions are used when an actual nonconformity is identified. 2.1.2 Recognizing this difference, BPC has separate systems for identifying the need for corrective and preventive actions. However, once the need is identified, a common system is used to process both types of actions. Forms, logs and other documents and records for processing of corrective and preventive actions are the same. 2.2 Corrective actions <<8.5.2>> 2.2.1 The need for corrective action is determined on the basis of identified actual nonconformities. Corrective action requests are typically triggered by such events as a failed inspection, Client complaint and/or project return, BLUE NILE PROCESSING CO. LTD. QUALITY MANUAL Date1/ 9 / 2013 Rev.: 1/0 Doc.No.SD-BPC-QHSE-QM Page 62 of 64 nonconforming delivery from a supplier, or a integrated management system audit finding. 2.3 Preventive actions <<8.5.3>> 2.3.1 The need for preventive action is determined on the basis of information and data regarding capability and performance of processes, project nonconformity rates, post-projection experience feedback, service records, Client complaints, and integrated management system audit findings. Such information and data are collected and analyzed to detect unfavorable trends that, if not checked, will increase the risk of nonconformities. The system for collecting and analyzing QHSE performance information and data is defined in Section 8.4 of this manual. 2.4 Processing of corrective and preventive actions <<8.5.2, 8.5.3>> 2.4.1 Preventive and corrective actions are initiated, processed and followed up using a CAR (Corrective Action Request) form. The form documents the unsatisfactory condition and the corrective or preventive action to be taken, and is used to record the verification and closure of the action. Open CARs are reviewed regularly to ensure that the actions are implemented and followed up in a timely manner. QHSE Procedure SD-BPC-QHSE-C/PA, Corrective/ Preventive Action, explains how to use the CAR system. 2.5 Continual improvement <<8.5.2, 8.5.3>> 2.5.1 Continual improvement actions are often defined as corrective and preventive actions. This is especially true for preventive actions. QHSE Procedures SDBPC-QHSE-CI, Continual Improvement, and SD-BPC-QHSE-MR, Management Reviews, explain how the corrective and preventive action system is used for facilitating continual improvement.
