On September 21, 2007, a group of employees at Jergens, Inc. completed training on INTERNAL PROCESS AUDITING conducted by John Novak of KAVON International, Inc.

This course focused on internal process auditing and began with a look at processes within the Jergens organization. By looking at every activity within the organization as a process that is interrelated to all the other processes, students gained an understanding of how to define the scope of individual audits based upon the audit objective. The emphasis throughout the training was that the internal auditing process must add value to the organization in order to be useful.

Techniques on how to audit each of the basic components of a process (inputs, activities, outputs, and measures) were discussed, including specific information to collect on each component in order to determine process effectiveness.

Techniques learned in the classroom were then applied in live audits that were conducted within the organization.

Jergens, Inc. was chartered in Ohio, March 23, 1942 as Glenn Tool and Manufacturing Co. It later merged with Jergens Tool Specialty Co. giving rise to its present name.
