FOTOFAX BREVARD PLANT PHOTO PRODUCTS DEPARTMENT VOL. 16, NO. 1 DECEMBER ’82 — JANUARY ’83 FOCUS: A YEAR FOR COMMITMENT News analysts, government spokesmen and economists continue tx> issue mixed sLgn^ about the economy in 1983. Some predict recovery, others say the economy win remain ^ggish and unemployment high, m reality, no one can be sure what wHL happen. UncontrcQlable world events add to the dimensions of the unknown. Our plant faces difficult challenges in overcapacity, cc«iservatLve marketing forecasts, and increasing competitive pressures. In qpite of this, I believe 1983 can be a successful year for the Brevard Plant. Success is often achieved through a combination of factcars— some identifiable, others ctecure. In planning the direction our plant should take in 1983, two factcars stand out. One relates to bools and equipment, the other to us, as individuals. Rapid advances in technology make it essential that the plant have the most advanced equipment and technology, to increase productivity and further improve the quality of x-ray products. The recent action of the Executive Com mittee, authorizing the construction of a new coating and drying facility, is a marjor step toward keeping our plant competitive. This, added to the sdutLons area addition, the vault storage system, and major modifications to flni^iing area equipment, is a multi-millLcxi dollar cx>rporate commitment to the future of the plant. The company is doing its part. But we are the company's most valuable asset, and our commitment, as employees, is the other part of the equatLc«. 1983 will require the support of every person at the Brevard Plant. To sustain job security, a(^usted productiai schedules and work assignments wiH be necessary. Training programs to upgrade employee skills, and programs to improve the ^ganizational effectiveness of the entire plant must be implemented. Your commitment to all these efforts is vLtaL I am confident that we will measure up to the task.
