The Central Inspection Agency
Origin:
The Central Inspection Agency (CIA) was established during the American Industrial Revolution manufacturing was robust and many companies were set near the cities which took people away from farming for better wages. Manufacturing had no oversight or controls to safeguard employees which created hostile and dangerous conditions for skilled and unskilled labor. The unsafe conditions extended beyond the factory and into the streets and waterways where waste was not monitored like it is today. Food was also in high demand but short on supply as farms were short-handed and struggled to keep up with demand. Employers were in such demand for workforce and lines often formed outside just waiting for the next opening that all to often included a hurst for the fallen.
In an effort to provide safer work conditions, improved working arrangements, and improved quality products the CIA was created. Agents were inserted into high demand industries where they worked to institute stronger quality systems aimed at improving the quality of the hardware while simultaneously improving work conditions. Management saw their programs as a way to reduce waste, improve profit margin, and reduce hours needed to meet the volumes of parts needed to fulfill orders.
Among these agents were two of the most elite Quality Assurance Agents ever who were known as Agent Sigma and Agent Alpha. Their work in the factories was legendary with their specialty being in weld inspections. They crated standard inspection practices, terminology, and standards.
