Abstract:  
So, if your shop is not up to standards, how do you get there? How do you reach the peak of the Nadcap standard? As they say in football, the best offense is a good defense. I would recommend you begin with an internal audit; collect all of the information, specifications, equipment literature, written procedures, artisan training process, etc., that you have in your shop. All of this data can be used to baseline the current state of your peening procedures. The baseline will indicate areas that are satisfactory and those that are deficient.
