Meet Jovanka, the Guardian of Ammunition Standards! We had the opportunity to speak with Jovanka, the Quality Control Manager at ATS Ammunition, to gain insights into her role and the importance of maintaining the highest standards in production. The journey into Quality Control for Jovanka started 12 years ago, at this same company. The Daily Responsibilities of Jovanka and her team adhere to a strict quality control.

Daily protocol of each shift involves: 

• • • Monitoring production lines and verifying machine performance.
    • Inspecting semi-products such as bullet casings, grains, and primers.
    • Using precision instruments to measure and document quality metrics.
    • Maintaining daily production logs to track consistency and identify potential issues.
    • Collaborating with mechanical engineers to troubleshoot and resolve any defects.
    • Holding quality assurance meetings to refine processes and improve standards.

The Importance of Quality Assurance According to Jovanka, quality is the foundation of a successful product. Every stage of the production process, from jacket formation to final bullet assembly, undergoes meticulous scrutiny. The quality control team ensures that every component meets rigorous safety and performance standards before reaching the market.

A Collaborative Approach to Problem-Solving When production issues arise, Jovanka and her team immediately convene with engineers and technologists to determine the best course of action. These quick interventions prevent potential defects and maintain ATS Ammunition’s reputation for excellence.

Women in Ammunition Manufacturing Jovanka is part of a workforce where 80% of employees are women, a statistic that highlights the precision, dedication, and expertise women bring to the industry. She emphasizes that quality control requires attention to detail and technical skill, qualities that make her team highly effective in their roles.

“Precision isn’t just a goal—it’s our standard. At ATS Ammunition, every round is a proving testament to the highest standard fit. From raw materials to the final product, we keep maximum round performance, and safety in every shot.”
