Celebrating with Popcorn! A standing ten year tradition at Crest has been to celebrate meeting daily production efficiency goals for contract packaging by serving popcorn in the breakrooms. Each day that we hit an average 97.5% efficiency (this year’s goal allowing for a certain amount of downtime) for all three shifts in both facilities, we celebrate by cooking up fresh batches of popcorn the next day in the main plant, west facility and mix building breakrooms. Whenever that day happens to fall on a Thursday, we up our game a little by upgrading to caramel corn. Since the folks in contract packaging are such nice people, anybody at Crest is welcome to enjoy a bag of popcorn that resulted from their great work. Many days we are greeted by the smell of fresh popcorn in the breakrooms and our unofficial record for consecutive days is seven. It’s always fun to celebrate success….even if it is with something just as simple as a bag of popcorn! Thanks to our many popcorn poppers who take the time to make up fresh batches for us all.
