(yiALITY AKSIJRAKCE; Locking better!! We had no serious quality problems this month. Thanks. Of course, we continue to find too many defects i.n our fabric and so it has to be rerolled or rewoven. All tiiat adds dollars to our cost and nothing to our productivity. So don't let up. Keep trying to catch our quality proMcnis early in the process and look for ways to prevent liiem. If you know some process or method we use could be changod and that change would in^pi'ove our quality, ple.'jse toll your .supervisor.
