Congrats to the QA Team! by Dawn Summers Another employment milestone we’d like to celebrate is that of Marcia Breeden, who has been at Crest Foods for 40 Years! Marcia, also known as my “day wife” by her and my wife, started at Crest in 1979 and has been working closely with me for the past twenty-two years. While you may not see her face on a daily basis, just know she’s busy keeping the parts room in order. Marcia knows about and is responsible for 7,000 parts, and being one of just a few women in what is typically a man’s world, probably knows more than most! When she’s not in the parts room, you can probably find her watching NASCAR or cheering on the Bears. Congratulations Marcia! by Scott Storey
RedZone (RZ) hosts an annual award celebration for the entire RZ community which consists of more than 500 companies. At this very large ceremony, RedZone gives out a few prestigious awards and this year Crest Foods Quality Assurance (QA) department was nominated and made it to the finals for the 2019 Regional Team of the Year Award. Although we did not win the award, we are very excited about the recognition for a job well done! The criteria they set couldn’t more accurately describe our team. In addition to our team performing their jobs exceptionally well, they demonstrate extraordinary commitment to RedZone (RZ) and Crest Foods. The things that QA and Crest has accomplished this year took great teamwork from all departments. This program has been successful because of the commitment of all our employees and departments including production, maintenance, sanitation, and QA. With all of these groups working together we have accomplished and will con- tinue to accomplish great things! Some notable accomplishments this year would be: Human Code errors : We have decreased the events in QA News for Human code errors by 48%. The amount of skids pulled for these events were reduced by 54%. QA Pulls for any reason: We have decreased the events in QA News for any quality errors by 21%. The amount of skids pulled for these events were reduced by 60% (left ) Heidi Topping, Crystal Kessel, Sherry Joos, Kathy Conant, Erik Morales, Jeannie Carter, Trish Carter, Jessica Guenther, Deb Worley, Kelly Stevens & Candy Koch.
