CIP 2015 1st Quarter Winners The Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) is a program where employees may submit suggestions on ways that they think can improve Crest Foods. These suggestions may help improve overall efficiency, employee safety, sanitation, record keeping, maintenance and various other areas around Crest Foods. In exchange for their sugges- tions, each employee is rewarded with a $5.00 gift certificate to our Crest store. We received 43 suggestions from employees for the 1st quarter. Thank you to everyone for participating! Jerry Maronde, B-Shift Maintenance 1st Quarter 1st Place • $250 Jerry’s idea was the install roarty flap tuckers on the vertical cartoners to reduce turn flaps or flaps out tucked and better overall operation of the flap tucker. They have been installed on some of the cartoners and are working well!
Connie Schumacher, A-Shift Production 1st Quarter Runner Up • $150
Connie’s idea was the apply the same set up for line 23 as we have on lines 13 & 14. where the packer folds the minor flaps on the case and then flips them onto a 2ft. conveyor that then feeds into the tape machine. We are looking into getting this all set up on line 23!
Larry Shipman, B-Shift Mix 1st Quarter Runner Up • $150
Larry’s suggestion was to build a pair of wash carts that we can put equipment on to wash. It would get the parts up off the floor and would replace the cheap plastic skids we are current- ly using. By keeping those off the floor when we wash mixers it woud make washing much easier.
