Performance
Now, how do we know which shipments
to inspect? Well, inspection statistics are constantly added to
the QA database. A list of those suppliers, whose quality is
beyond AAFES control limits, is generated daily. QA specialists
scrutinize these suppliers closely; inspection efforts are
redirected, and the appropriate AAFES buyers are notified of the
problem suppliers. AAFES is able to assist suppliers needing
quality improvement through auditing of a supplier’s QA program
and by offering suggestions for improvement under our Supplier
Quality Assistance Program (SUPQAP).
We also inspect shipments from new
suppliers until a satisfactory quality history is established.
Standard Inspection Procedures, on
a variety of merchandise, are available upon request to AAFES
suppliers.
