Laurelcrest Yarn Makes War On Waste
The Laurelcrest Yarn Mill at Laurel Hill has launched a special
4vaste reduction program with a goal of reducing waste by 32%.
'rejected on an annual basis this would represent a savings of
Ijver $86,000. The program is being initiated with a 10-week pro
motional waste contest which began May 12, and will end July 27.
^ At the conclusion of this 10-week period, an on-the-job dinner
f. ivill be served to all employees if the overall mill goal has been
I'met. In addition, drawings for area rugs will be conducted for
.^employees in each department which met of exceeded their goals.
'V Kick-off meetings were held recently with employees in each
I department on a shift basis. Waste banners and posters showing
waste saving ideas have been prominently displayed throughout the
V plant as well as two of the area rugs that will be awarded as
prizes at the conclusion of the promotional period. As the program
Ldevelops, a huge thermometer showing weekly results will be on
ilfdisplay in the mill.
l' Prior to the meetings with employees, mill management and
I supervisors met and discussed possible approaches to waste re-
rduction. At this time, goals were adopted for presentation to the
j employees who in turn were asked to contribute their own ideas
do help save waste.
L. M. Skinner, plant manager of Laurelcrest Yarn Mill, is very
optimistic about the outcome of the waste reduction program and
has stated that he is confident the employees will put forth a con
scientious effort to make this program a success.
