Eaton Wins Ford Award Eaton Corporation’s transmis sion manufacturing plant at Kings Mountain has been for mally recognized by Ford Motor Company as a supplier of high quality components for Ford vehicles. Eaton’s Kings Mountain plant manufactures transmissions for Ford’s heavy-duty trucks. Formal recognition as a top quality supplier came at a lun cheon recently at Ford’s North American Automotive Opera tions (NAAO) headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan when the firm was presented Ford’s Q1 Preferred Quality Award for “in dependently and consistently” meeting Ford’s quality stan dards. It was among the first of 26 manufacturing locations to be so honored by F ord. “Firms qualifying for par ticipation in this program,” said Harold A. (Red) Poling, NAAO executive vice president, “will get preferential treatment when we select sources for new com ponents, and they will be given preference when we select par ticipants for new-component development programs.” Poling presented the awards. The names of recipients will be displayed in the lobby of the NAAO headquarters building in Dearborn, Michigan. To be considered for the award, suppliers must have an excellent Ford quality rating and an effective quality assurance system that includes process con trol capability and the use of statistical control techniques. Recipients also are able to conduct manufacturing feasibili ty studies for new parts, and the Ford Supplier Quality Assurance activity and the Product Engineering and Purchasing Of fices concur in all selections. Statistical control of quality is a concept in which plant produc tion is sampled at regular inter vals to assure that the process, i^ consistent and that the products are within statistically establish ed control ranges. ‘The adaptation of statistical methods of collecting and using data to identify the causes of variability in production pro cesses makes it possible for us to reduce greatly or eliminate the variability,” Poling said. “By doing so we eliminate waste in the form of scrap materials, we cut down significantly on repairs, and costs are greatly reduced. More impor tantly, this process enables us to make dramatic quality im provements and to make the most possible use of our most valuable asset — our people. “We are encouraging all Ford suppliers to use Statistical Con trol techniques to improve pro ductivity and quality,” he added. “But, we. are ..concentrating presently on major suppliers and those suppliers who provide key components — to the extent that we are setting up Statistical Process Control Seminars for these firms and sharing in the costs of the seminars.” Larry Frady has been named production supervisor, second shift machining, by Carmet Company’s Minetool division, a member of Allegheny Interna tional, Inc. Frady had been a screw machine operator, and before that group leader and skilled machine operator. He joined Minetool in 1978 after 10 years with Warner & Swasey Co. in Bessemer City. He will be responsible for planning, directing, supervising and control of operations and functions in assigned areas of manufacturing and service.
