CIP 2020 1st Quarter Winners The Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) is a program where employees submit suggestions on ways they think we can improve Crest Foods. These suggestions may help improve overall efficiency, employee safety, sanita- tion, record keeping, maintenance and various other areas around Crest Foods. We received 30 suggestions from employees for the 1st quarter. Thank you to everyone for participating! Jon Larson, Maintenance C-Shift 1st Quarter 1st Place • $250

Jon’s suggestion was to put guards over the transition area between the take-away conveyor from the Hayssen to the infeed belt on the pouch places on line 86. Also to install e-stops in this area that are easier to get to. This is a great human safety call-out that we will get fixed asap.

John Messenger, Maintenance B-Shift 1st Quarter Runner Up • $150

John’s idea was to put a relief valve into bar lug dumps, which will release pressure and drain fluid safely. Typically this task causes downtime and wastes fluid. This will ensure that pres- sure can be released without any downtime or food safety and human safety risk. Great idea!

Madison Tomblin, Production B-Shift 1st Quarter Runner Up • $150

Madison’s idea was to put an eye behind the web on 23/24 to indicate when the web is getting low (like we do for cartons). This will mean less down time for snapped/run through webs on this line. Great idea! Jesse Morris, Production B-Shift 1st Quarter Runner Up • $150 Jessie’s idea is to go paperless on magnet checks with RedZone. Great idea - we are considering this and figuring out how to make it happen.
