Quality Awards Given
Rug Weavers, Fixers
Awards for Quality and all-around
performance were made on five looms
at the Karastan Rug Mill for the month
of March.
Looms 21, 39, 45, 46, and 53 received
the awards based on loom efficiency,
seconds, burling costs, housekeeping, and
yield. Each of the factors considered
represents a crucial area involving costs
and quality.
Attractive certificates bearing the
names of the weavers and fixers were
placed on each of the award-winning
looms.
The awards are made monthly as
part of a new program giving recogni
tion to weavers and fixers for outstand
ing quality and all-around performance.
A record of the performance on each
loom is carried on a large board in the
Weave Room. Fixers and weavers can
tell how they stand at all times by re
ferring to this board.
