Anniston Army Depot has an ISO 9001:2015 recertifica-tion audit scheduled for July 29 and 30.

ISO 9001:2015 is a stan-dard for a quality management system and is an internationally recognized certification granted by a third-party certifying body.

The standard focuses on the context of the organization, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evalua-tion and improvement.

Benefits of being certified to ISO 9001:2015 include im-provement in the quality of products produced, increased competitiveness, improved cus-tomer satisfaction and standard-ization of processes.

The ISO 9001 certification basically means we have a set of instructions and must adhere to that guidance.

The guidance ANAD uses can be found in the Qual-ity Manual, Depot Maintenance Work Requirements, National Maintenance Work Require-ments, Technical Manuals, Letters of Instructions, Depot Process Control Pamphlets and shop instructions.

These directives provide the who, what, where and why for all processes.

For example, we have a shelf life LOI which teaches various roles in the fire cabinet process.

It states the shop supervisor, or appointee, will audit the lock-er, remove out-of-date material monthly and document the audit on a ledger posted outside of the

fire cabinet.It also states the depot will

keep a years’ worth of inspec-tions for auditing purposes.

Quality’s role is to audit processes to ensure we follow our documentation and the ISO 9001:2015 standard.

Quality records these find-ings in an Audit Corrective Ac-tion Request to the supervisor.

These requests require an in-vestigation and initiation of an interim corrective action, root cause identification and perma-nent corrective action.

Once the corrective action has been in place for two weeks, Quality conducts a follow-up audit to see if the actions were effective.

The audits conducted by Quality are about ensuring doc-uments in place for processes are followed and verified.

This is what ISO is all about.

Repetitive findings during ISO audits include:

• Building sheets not ini-tialed or stamped as the product is built.

• Material not labeled with the condition code or route tag.

• Material should not be mixed in baskets. For example, condition code F parts shouldn’t be mixed with condition code A.

• Supervisors don’t have Shop Project Orders for their programs or the SPOs are not current.

• Drawings on the shop floor are not controlled or marked properly.

• Shelf life cabinets are not organized, inventoried and re-cords maintained for one year.

Expired items should be dis-posed of.

• TMs, DMWRs, NMWRs, etc. were not current for the pro-gram in the shop or available on the shop floor for employees to use.

• Supervisors were unaware of the location of their con-trolled documents and unable to explain the process.

• Bottles of fluids for pro-cesses, such as cleaning, were not labeled with the correct con-

tent.• Tools and equipment were

not marked with current calibra-tion stickers or tagged for turn-in to be re-calibrated.

Quality will be doing in-ternal audits and shop walk-throughs to help shops prepare for the external audit.

Contact your Quality Assur-ance Specialist with any ques-tions regarding ISO 9001:2015.

Let’s make this a successful audit.

The 101 critical days of summer begins Memorial Day weekend and ends after Labor Day.

This is, of course, the largest vacation period of the year.

The sun is shining and people are out swimming, boating, visiting family and friends far away, playing and having a good time.

It’s also a time of celebration, recreation, staying awake long hours and driving more miles than your body has the energy for.

Please, go over these safety tips before beginning your summer activities.Driving:

• Don’t drink and drive; call a cab or use a ride-sharing application.

• Don’t drive while distracted; turn your phone to “Do Not Disturb” while you are on the road.

• Don’t drive tired; take breaks, switch out drivers and get plenty of sleep before you travel.Heat Illness:

• Recognize the symptoms of heat stroke, such as hot, red and dry skin; rapid, weak pulse; and rapid, shallow breathing.

• Heat exhaustion symptoms include cool, pale skin; heavy sweating; headache, nausea or vomiting and dizziness.

• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing; drink water; eat small meals; and take regular breaks when you will be in the heat.Hydration:

• Drink water or sports drinks after exercising or most physical activity.

• Start drinking water an hour or two before starting physical activity during high heat.Beach Safety:

• Wear sunglasses and foot protection.• Don’t dive headfirst into unknown or shallow

water.• Avoid jumping from cliffs, piers, jetties or bridges.• Stay clear of boats.• Swim parallel to shore.• Wear sunscreen.Keep in mind that none of these tips will do you any

good if you don’t make safety your top priority in each of the 101 summer days.

101 CriticalDays of Summer

from Staff ReportsANAD ASAP Office

A working group was created in 2018 and tasked to assess and re-search areas of Anniston Army De-pot where technology can be utilized to its full potential.

The focus for the group is on ar-eas where technology can provide a cost savings, build efficiency into a process, make work areas safer or deliver better performance to prom-ise.

“In the end, this leads to more enhanced and improved troop readi-ness,” said Randy Heflin, the depot’s director of Information Manage-ment.

Heflin spoke to the workforce on The Morning Show April 24, outlin-ing the ways a “digital depot” can improve the installation.

He said the task force has identi-fied five key areas where technologi-cal enhancements can be used. They are:

• The installation’s information technology footprint in general and wireless capabilities specifically. In 2016, there were approximately 1,700 computer user accounts on the installation. Today, there are 3,200 user accounts and more than 5,500 end user devices, such as tough-books, laptops, desktops and tablets.

New wireless access points have been added throughout the installa-tion and continue to be added as the need arises.

• iCIIT – The Industrial Com-plex Integrated Information Track-er, is a locally developed program which assists the depot with priori-tizing work.

• Radio Frequency Identification processes can assist with parts track-ing.

“Imagine being able to shoot a barcode that instantly processes a part without being tethered,” said Heflin. “The time this will save will

be enormous.”• Digital torque tools will al-

low the depot to log, track and set the amount of torque used in certain processes. These tools can serve as a standardizing element, which will increase quality.

• Robotics and artificial intel-ligence have numerous areas of potential – from parts delivery to performing processes in hazardous conditions.

The Directorate of Information Management has been using tech-nology as its force multiplier over the last several years. Heflin said those same principles can be imple-mented depot-wide.

“The key word in all this is com-munication, whether we are commu-nicating by digits, voice or whatev-er,” said Heflin. “Any organization

which communicates effectively via data transfers, work instructions, wireless RFID tracking of parts or voice communications is going to be successful.”

Artisans on the shop floor are the key to ensuring the new technology is implemented smoothly and prop-erly.

“I hear the age-old arguments that robots will take our jobs. That’s not true,” said Heflin. “Technology will be utilized as a force multiplier. It will pick up the slack for us be-cause we’ve got so much we have to get done.”

Heflin encourages employees to share processes which can be im-proved with the Digital Depot Work-ing Group via email at usarmy.anad.tacom.list.digital-depot-working-group@mail.mil.

Every 24 seconds, a fire department in the United States responds to a fire some-where in the nation.

Although the number of fires and fire deaths have decreased significantly since the 1970s, some statistics are more trou-bling. The National Fire Prevention As-sociation continues to analyze fire data to better understand the fire problem and its trends.

According to NFPA research, 78 per-cent of all structure fires from 2012-2016 were residential fires.

U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 172,100 home struc-ture fires per year started by cooking ac-tivities in 2012-2016, or an average of 471 home cooking fires per day.

These fires caused an average of 530 civilian deaths, 5,270 reported civilian fire injuries, and $1.1 billion in direct property damage per year.

Cooking brings family and friends together, provides an outlet for creativity and can be relaxing. But, did you know cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries?

The leading cause of fires in the kitch-en is unattended cooking and most cook-ing fires in the home involve the kitchen stove.

Cook with Caution• Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have

consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop.

• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

• If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.

• Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packag-ing, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.

If you have a small (grease) cooking fire and decide to fight the fire...

• On the stovetop, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.

• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.

If you have any doubt about fighting a small fire…

• Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire.

• Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number from outside the home.

Keep cooking, grilling safety in mindfrom Staff Reports

NFPA.org Fire Safety TipsSmoke alarms are a key part of a

home fire escape plan.When there is a fire, smoke spreads

fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside quickly.

• Roughly 3 out of 5 fire deaths hap-pen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

• Install smoke alarms in every bed-room. They should also be outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement.

• It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.

• Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.

• Current alarms on the market em-ploy different types of technology includ-ing multi-sensing, which could include smoke and carbon monoxide combined.

• Today’s smoke alarms will be more technologically advanced to re-spond to a multitude of fire conditions, yet mitigate false alarms.

• A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove.

• People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shak-ers.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

• A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat and fire.

Electrical safety is Anniston Army Depot’s Target Zero safety focus area for the month of May.

This month, the Safety Office asks shop personnel to focus on potential electrical hazards which may exist in their shops.

What do I look for during the walkthrough?A good place to begin the inspection is with some of

the everyday equipment operating on electricity.It could be a computer, milling machine or a welder,

but the inspection process is still the same.• Is the on/off switch present and in good shape?

Plugging and unplugging a piece of equipment to turn it on and off is unacceptable.

• Is the wiring/cord for the equipment in good shape? This may be fixed wiring for permanent equipment or flexible temporary wiring for portable equipment. The cords should be inspected for frayed insulation or damaged/cut cords.

• Is the plug in good condition? The electrical cord will typically have a plug attached to the end. The plug should be inspected to see if the insulation is separating from the cord/plug connection. This is often the result of pulling on the cord to unplug the equipment rather than grasping the plug itself.

The condition of the plug should also be observed.Are the electrical prongs in good shape and not

damaged? Is the plug designed for a ground prong (third round prong centered beneath the two vertical prongs) and, if so, is it present?

The ground prong is used to provide a ground circuit to protect metal-encased appliance from becoming energized and presenting a shock hazard to the worker.

• After examining the electrical plug, look at what it is plugged into.

Outlets should be inspected to ensure the cover plate is in place and not damaged, exposing energized electrical components.

Does the outlet grip the device’s electrical prongs or

does the plug just fall out?Sometimes, outlet contacts get worn down and will

not grip the plug. These plugs should be replaced as this is an indicator of a potentially poor connection and could lead to a fire.

Does the plug show discoloration or damage from arcing? These plugs should also be replaced immediately.

Electrical equipment could also be plugged into a power strip or extension cord.

Care should be taken when using power strips because they are easy to overload.

Only equipment with small power requirements should be used with power strips.

Appliances should never be used with a power strip.Extension cords should never be plugged into power

strips. Extension cords should only be used for temporary use and put up at the end of the work shift.

Just like cords running to equipment, extensions cords should be inspected for damage before each use.

Consideration should also be given to the type of extension cords used. Light duty cords should only be used for short distances and equipment with low power requirements.

Care should also be taken so that extension cords and power strips are not “daisy chained.” Daisy chain-ing occurs when power strips and/or extension cords are

plugged into other power strips and/or extension cords because there are not enough electrical outlets in the area.

The recommended solution is to rearrange the work area or install more electrical outlets to support the work being done.

This month, as you tour your shops, spend a little time looking at the electrical equipment. If it is damaged or not correct, stop using it and get it fixed.

Chris Stanbaugh, right, discusses findings from an electrical inspection with John Rogers, a depot safety engineer. Employees should inspect all cords and outlets prior to use to avoid electrical hazards.

Wires showing on a cord are a sign that repair or replacement is needed. Employees should notify their supervisor immedi-ately when an electrical issue is noted.

Always inspect electrical outlets prior to use. Outlets showing damage, such as the one seen here, can be dangerous.

19 students complete ANAD high school Pathways program

Nineteen students recently completed Anniston Army De-pot’s Pathways High School co-operative education program.

“This program has given stu-dents so many opportunities to excel,” said Edith Gregory, the cooperative education coordi-nator for the Talladega County School System.

Gregory encouraged the stu-dents to have a plan for the future and embrace the opportunity they have been presented.

A total of 640 students have graduated from the cooperative education program since it began in 2001 under the former school Student Educational Employ-ment Program.

This year’s class marks the fourth class under the Pathways Program.

As the school year came to a close, some of the students

earned certifications along with their high school diplomas.

The electronics interns ob-tained their certifications in soldering and welding interns earned their welding hire-in cer-tifications.

This is the second time the tests were administered prior to the completion of the college program of study.

Sixteen of the students will continue in the Pathways Career Program. In the technical college portion of the program, they will work toward a certificate or a de-gree, dependent upon their trade, from Gadsden State Community College.

Col. Joel Warhurst, ANAD’s commander, welcomed the stu-dents to the team, thanking them for the products they will provide the war fighters.

“We are very proud of you and you should be proud of this accomplishment,” he told the students.
