29th August, 2007: Inspections mean continual improvements
A score of 98 out of 100 is awesome occurrence in any event. Our Louisville plant received this score on their last 3rd party inspection. The inspection is done by a group that evaluates your operation against an industry standard; an “acceptable” score is 91 to 95 and 96 and above receives an “exceptional” score. In the past we have scored around the 95 mark, which we have been very happy with, but this time the plant really raised the bar for the rest of us. The 3rd party inspection has been a way for us to continually improve our operation and make it better. From each inspection we have been able to improve the operation and enhance what program we had in place making them better.
The best thing about all of the inspections has been we have not gone backwards in our scores, they have continually improved. In the past there have been small differences in the scores between our facilities, not that we compete against one another but there is always that “bragging rights” that come with the top score. The Boise facility has their inspection in September and so will be attempting hit above the 98.
