Redzone Update by Jared Stumpenhorst This May we had our first Kaizen event! What is a Kai- zen you ask? It is a event where we gathered together people from multiple departments to work on and try to resolve an issue. Well, for this first one the issue we worked on was web failures. Because of the data that everyone is putting into Redzone we were able to identify that as the top reason for downtime at Crest Foods. After an intense week of work we found a number of oppor- tunities for improvement. Look for more information on the findings from this event and look for information on what our next Kaizen event topic will be coming soon! Thanks to everyone that participated and made this first Kaizen a huge success!

New Training Room at Crest Foods by Garett Meiners
Back in early 2015 we expanded our equipment storage area in at the main plant and during the construction pro- cess we created a 1,700 sq ft room that has been left unfinished and empty. A few months ago we finally came up with a purpose for that room...TRAINING! Our new room will used for new employee orientations, the occasional meeting and employee training. Crest Foods can be a very overwhelming place to work especially during your first few days here and we think our new room can help with that issue. Our new training room will be fully equipped with a state of the art audio/visual system for class room type training and several hands on learning stations where employees touch, feel and experience the different scenarios they may encounter out of the floor. Our new room should be up and operational later this summer. Stay tuned.
