Perfect Audit Goes
to Plant Three
An audit report of "no major de
fects" was awarded Adams-Millis Cor
poration by Mr. Jack Waugh, quality
control auditor for the J. C. Penney
Company on his last package audit at
Plant #2. This is the second audit by
J. C. Penney Company auditors indi
cating no major defects nor exceptions
to pre-determined standards.
A package auditor picks sampling
at random from box stock of hose which
have already been boxed for the cus
tomer. The amount to be sampled is
determined by a sampling chart.
On-the-spot inspection is made
against a defect listing which includes
all operations from knitting through re
orders. Items checked for include
- 6
holes, misplaits, proper bagging (neat
ness and proper positioning in bags),
wrinkle-free and correct boarding, and
straight riders, distinct and correct
transfers, elastic in tops, printing on
stickers, and other packaging items.
The audits are made about every
six or eight weeks.
Customer audits are supplemented
by quality control personnel of Adams-
Millis who audit the finished hose in the
Mt. Airy plant and packaged goods in
the J, Ed Millis Finishing Plant in Kern-
ersville.
Quality Control Chief Jack Ivlabe
points with pride to the teamwork of
all operators who have made the perfect
audits possible. "We plan to assure
future satisfactory audits by making our
own audits complete, " Mabe said.
"These audits are more meaningful and
effective with the quality-minded per
sonnel we have in all the departments
in our plants. "
