American Glass Research, a division of Agr International, Inc., is
pleased to announce the addition of a new seminar, Auditor Training for
Glass Container Manufacturers, to their already extensive list of
training sessions. This new seminar is designed to instruct personnel
on how to conduct a detailed audit of a glass container manufacturing
plant.

The
Auditor Training seminar covers several issues including: the
identification of quality aspects that should be thoroughly reviewed,
the importance of establishing and following policies and procedures,
and the effective use of audit information to monitor and implement
improvements in the manufacturing process.

The seminar is designed to:
• instruct personnel on how to conduct a detailed audit of a glass container manufacturing plant
• teach personnel what should be thoroughly reviewed to assure a high
level of ongoing quality in all aspects of the manufacturing process
• cover the importance of adherence to policies and procedures for reaction, containment and rejection of faulty material
• show how the data from the audits can be used to establish a basis
from which continuous improvements in the manufacturing process can be
monitored and implemented.

This seminar is key to employees who are responsible for communicating
with glass suppliers on quality issues and supplier validation as well
as to filling line personnel who audit glass container manufacturing
plants. The Auditor Training seminar is also beneficial to glass plant
personnel who are responsible for quality control, conducting internal
audits and assuring that their plants can pass quality audits from
their suppliers.

The Auditor Training seminar is another part of American Glass
Research’s broad line of training and services to the glass container
industry. More information on these can be found at www.americanglassresearch.com. The rich heritage of American Glass Research and its service to the glass industry dates back to 1936.
