Reporting Year Section 8.10: Newly Implemented Source Reduction Activity Section 8.10: Methods to Identify Activity Section 8.11: Optional Pollution Prevention Information*
2023 Source Reduction:: S44: Other improvements to operating practices and training[-0-4%]

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Source Reduction - Staffing challenges contribute to scrap.
Source Reduction - 24x7 Operation.
2022 Source Reduction:: S44: Other improvements to operating practices and training[-0-4%]

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
Barriers: B3-Barriers to P2 B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction.
S44: The plant went to a 24x7 production schedule. Even with an economic downturn orders have remained somewhat steady and we find out staffing 5 to 10 operators short through the year. Working with trainers to cross train team members in the facility.

Source Reduction - The site finds itself with a turnover issue in plant staffing. This turnover issue requires us to hire new operators and those operators create more scrap than experienced operators
Source Reduction - Plant went to 24x7 operation.

Barriers to P2: B3 - Concern that product quality may decline as a result of source reduction. - New operators are being hired to replace separated team members
2021 Source Reduction:: S44: Other improvements to operating practices and training

Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
S44: With the plant going to a 24hr/7 day operation, we have had a 30% turnover in operators.
2019 Source Reduction:: W14: Changed production schedule to minimize equipment and feedstock changeovers
