This group serves many masters, all of which are pretty adamant about their needs. Unfortunately for them, the needs of all their many masters are not the same. Customers need product – the warehouse needs space – produc- tion needs supplies to run – quality control needs specs to be met – allergens, kosher, gluten free and organic impact scheduling order – run sizes challenge order patterns – language barriers and time differences challenge some sourc- es of supply – some folks are just tough to work with…life ain’t easy in the control tower at Crest manned by our scheduling group. They are the people easiest to blame when we can’t run, but the reality is that they are the people that do an incred- ible juggling job every day that allows everything else to happen at Crest. Our scheduling department does a great job of keeping all the “planes in the air without running into each other”. Common sense and hard work have made this group indispensable at Crest…if you happen to see them in the hallways doing refills on coffee, give them a well deserved pat on the back.
