CIP 2015 3rd Quarter Winners The Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) is a program where employees may submit suggestions on ways that they think can improve Crest Foods. These suggestions may help improve overall efficiency, employee safety, sanitation, record keeping, maintenance and various other areas around Crest Foods. In exchange for their sugges- tions, each employee is rewarded with a $5.00 gift certificate to our Crest store. We received 38 suggestions from employees for the 3rd quarter. Thank you to everyone for participating! Zygmunt Cichosz (Ingredient A-Shift) 3rd Quarter 1st Place • $250
Zygmunt’s idea was to make a hopper to fit on the magnet box to dump small batches through the metal detector. We were using a particulate hopper from Mix Room “E”. There was a lot of work and time spent on installing and uninstalling the “E” particulate hopper. This hopper would fit on the magnet box and significantly reduce the amount of time and labor involved in the set up. Clean up would be fast and all equipment would stay in place before and after set- ups.
Martha Holder (Production A-Shift) 3rd Quarter Runner Up • $150 Martha’s idea was to have web carts set up with a grated tray welded to them to hold the tools we need to change web so you wouldn’t have to always go back and forth to the tool box. This would keep the tools off the line and save time on the lines also.

Debby Noon (Production A-Shift) 3rd Quarter Runner Up • $150
Debby’s idea was to help out with a common problem on line #18. She wanted to make a cart with sides, a back, and wheels to hold boxes instead of stacking them on the floor where they get knocked over frequently helping to keep them stacked and clean! Also, they can be easily moved if they get in the way.
Ray Sixaysana (B Shift Production) was so excited about reaching his 30 years of employment in May that he wanted his picture taken with his granite brick to commemorate his tenure here. All employees who make this milestone are honored with a brick on the front of the main office building at Crest Foods. Congratulations Ray! 30 Years Later
