The inspection department at Novak Industries receives manufactured parts from its own production department and then meticulously checks every part before packaging it for sale. This month, the production department focused on automobile side mirrors. The inspection department began April with just 220 side mirrors in process. These beginning units were 70% of the way through the inspection process. During April, 4,050 more side mirrors were transferred-in from the production department. By month's end, 3,850 units had been fully inspected and packaged (packaging occurs when the units reach the 95% completion point in the inspection department).
