Carton Audit Process
1. All Shipments go through a Carton Audit Process at the DC.
2. Cartons are pulled for audit randomly and not in any consecutive order.
o A Normal 2.5 AQL standard is used to determine the number of cartons pulled of
each style to be audited (the number needed is listed on the Shipment Form)
o Normal 2.5 AQL is performed until the factory is at 99.5% or better at which time
the amount will be lowered to a Reduced 2.5 AQL level
o If the same style is received from different factories or different shipments, each
will receive a full audit
3. A Carton Auditor will verify the following:
