Jeff Joyce, the former vice president at Monticello, came in with great ideas and a willingness to listen, which made all the difference.” In 2023, Georgia-Pacific made a $110 million invest- ment in Monticello, proving to employees that the com- pany believed Monticello could be successful. Employ- ees continued to work on operations and saw improved productivity. New and improved asset maintenance work processes were introduced and embraced, and the teams took a proactive approach to environmental health and safety (EH&S) initiatives. The work continues. The years' long improvement plan at Monticello helped the facility move past a planned outage to achieve the mil- lion tons milestone with only 10 days left in the year. “Monticello has a long history of excellence. There’s a lot of knowledge and skill in this facility, and we had the tools to use them to reach our potential,” said Tom Weid- man, operations manager, Monticello. Georgia-Pacific believed in the employees at Monticel- lo and knew they were capable of exceeding production expectations and doing work that fulfilled them while con- tributing to the facility’s success. The facility serves as an example for other facilities of how to tap into the knowl- edge and commitment of their employees to make a differ- ence in production and workplace performance.
