MEM TRACON CTLR EXPERIENCED OPERROR AT 3000 FT WHEN NORDO TFC ON BASE CONFLICTED WITH DOWNWIND TFC.

Narrative

I WAS WORKING PARALLEL FINALS. MODERATE TFC. I REQUESTED ARE (ARR EAST) TO SWITCH ACFT X W OR 3 TIMES. ACFT WAS BASE LEG AT 4000 FT (AS PER NEW OPERATING PROC). ARE TOLD ME TWICE HE WAS NOT WORKING ACFT. I TRIED TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ACFT X TWICE. THIRD TIME I ASKED ARE TO SWITCH ACFT X. HE TOLD ME THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE POS (I THOUGHT HE DID). I FINALLY GOT ACFT X AND DSNDED HIM TO 3000 FT ON BASE LEG. ACFT Y WAS ON DOWNWIND DSNDING TO 3000 FT. I REALIZED THEY MAY BE CLOSE AND TOLD ACFT Y TO 'TURN NOW HDG 300 DEGS' TO TRY TO MAINTAIN SEPARATION. AFTER I GOT THAT WORKED OUT AND SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE; I ADVISED SUPVR I MAY HAVE HAD 2 ACFT GET TOO CLOSE. THIS WAS MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH NEW PROC; AS WAS DEP CTLR'S FIRST TIME WITH NEW PROC. THIS NEW PROC SEEMS TO BE A MEANS TO APPEASE TERMINAL BOSS FOR EASTERN SVC AREA. MY OPINION IS; IF IT WAS NOT BROKE; DON'T FIX IT. WE ALSO HAVE SEVERAL CTLRS AS OF THE BEGINNING OF THE WK THAT HAVE YET TO BE BRIEFED ON 2 NEW PROCS. I HAVE YET TO BE BRIEFED ON ONE OF THE NEW PROCS MYSELF.
