The members of the third shift maintenance crew at Crest cover a wide area of responsibilities. The biggest por- tion of this group works on preventative maintenance or project work that is most effectively done when produc- tion isn’t scheduled. When we are at our best, preventing problems before they happen is the most effective type of maintenance we can do. We also have staff devoted to doing changeovers on the third shift. While it would be nice if we simply ran the same thing all the time, the reality of our world is that we have a lot of changeovers and some of them are very involved. The same idea applies to changeovers as preventative maintenance…the more we can do while lines are not scheduled to run, the better off we are. Our third area of maintenance involvement for third shift is very new, but since we are now running on three shifts at the west production facility, we have an obvious need for line mechanics for this area. Production life would be great if these guys had nothing to do, but they al- ways seem to be very busy. Thanks to this group of employees who work behind the scenes, but are absolutely es- sential to keeping us running every day.
