Stop Overspending on Safety

And Start Achieving


Leading to Zero

Safety is the fundamental building block to creating a high performing, sustainable manufacturing operating system. When people aren’t worried about getting hurt, they’re free to think about other parts of their jobs. They can think about improving quality or how to improve machine performance. In many instances, if we eliminate minor machine stops and breakdowns, we improve safety — which also improves efficiency.

Safety can and should be used as a strategic lever; and at Milliken, we believe the safety of the workforce should be the first concern for any CEO. Companies that aspire to be World-Class must have safety as a core value. Safety and health are personal to every human being and can have a profound impact on their motivation and morale. Our employee-centric approach to improving safety is designed to build a sustainable, organic, internal capability.

The existence of a connection between safety and quality leads to measurable productivity improvements and a direct impact on your bottom line. It also leads to improved morale and increased productivity.

Zero Incidents is Possible

It’s common that we see organizations drive safety from the top down. When initiatives are broad and vague, owning the safety initiative is treated like a chore and not a value-add role. This often results in a lack of interest and a disconnect in how each plant carries out each piece. When no one is committed to owning the process and the safety operations strategy is developed at the corporate level, it can result in employee disconnect and limited results.

It is a holistic framework that shows companies how to manage operations.


SAFETY EXCELLENCE OVERVIEW

The Productivity Paradox: Achieving 21st Century Results in Mature Paperboard and Packaging Plants

Paperboard and packaging (P&P) facilities are typically asset-intensive operations, and many are extremely old (the average paper facility was built prior to 1937). The markets these plants serve, however, are modern with state-of-the-art demands, and include every industry in need of papers, boxes, cartons, and other forms of packaging. This white paper discusses critical measurements and how a Performance System can revitalize an organization.
