2023 1st Quarter CIP Winners
Audra Reindel, Production A-Shift • Runner Up • $150.00 Audra suggested a digital screen in the Main Plant warehouse area so all of the change- over information can be on display to help forklift drivers know where to put supplies. We will start working on how we can automate the changeover information/schedule, which will be a timely process, but great idea! Ben Henrikson, Production B-Shift • 1st Place • $250.00 Ben suggested installing a sensor in the downpipe to send off an audible or visual signal to the dumpers when powder is low down stairs. He also mentioned an override switch to turn on or off when at the end of a run or shift. Great idea! We are working with Mainte- nance on feasibility/implementation.
Jerry and Rick came up with an idea to get air hoses, cables, printers and some electrical panels off the floor. They added plexiglass to the top of the Hayssens on lines 15-21 and then mounted printers and Speedee cabi- nets on top of the plexiglass (pictured). Air hoses have been addded to Bartelts and Hayssens to keep hoses off the floor. Great idea! They are working on implementing in other areas! Rick Cox & Jerry Maronde, Maintenance B-Shift • Runners Up • $75.00 each
Casey suggested having some type of annual training with Line Operators and Main- tenence Technicians together to share best practices. Great idea! Collaboration with main- tenance and line operators to share best practices is a great concept. We will consider for future training events. Casey Jones, Production B-Shift • Runner Up • $150.00 Nina suggested making a box to hold micro retains for any lines that have micro retains. It would prevent people from making boxes out of cardboard or having it say the wrong product name or codes. Great idea! We will purchase a small tub and label it “retains”. It will be placed on the stacker table for a central collection location. Nina Sims, Production A-Shift • Runner Up • $150.00
