The year before us is full of challenges that must be met if we are to strengthen our support of the Air Force and the Department of Defense. We cannot, therefore, rest on our past achievements. I want to thank each of you again for your active partici pation in the Zero Defects program and to solicit your continued support. By steadfast attention to the elimination of errors, we can continue to build theconf idence and respect of all with whom we are associated. In this way, each of us contributes to the welding of a spirit of quality performance that will insure an increasingly effective Command. Next week on 28 October 1966, we at Ogden AMA will note with satisfaction, two years of successful application of the Zero Defects philosophy "Pride in Workmanship." I feel that this vital program has definitely become a "way of life" for all of us. Through your actions in doing the job right the first time, we have contributed significantly to bringing credit to AFLC and to ourselves through error reduction, elimination of waste, and improved operation with reduced costs. During the first year of the program many groups and individuals received Zero Defects Awards in recognition of error-fre- e performance. Your continued interest in detecting the causes of errors and suggesting methods of correction through use of the ZD CARE Form is commendable. retary Charles will talk on the of the ZD program The records for the past year are convincing evidence of your application in the Air Force. outstanding efforts to eliminate mistakes.
