All NJ employees:

Thank you for all your efforts today, we got a lot done and are off to a good start.

As Sadye stated, this is just the beginning of an ongoing effort and we still have areas that need extra attention.

A few of the focus areas on the list for today are in progress and are expected to be complete by Friday 5/3.

I greatly appreciate all your help today.

Thanks,

Tom Ullrich
Continuous Improvement Manager

Subject: [MaxLite] ALL NJ EMPLOYEES MUST READ: 5S Company-wide Organizational Initiative + LUNCH & BIRTHDAYS & EOM
Importance: High

ATTENTION NJ EMPLOYEES:

Today is the launch of 5S for this location. Lunch will be provided and will be laid out in the 12 York DS Conference Room starting around noon. In order to partake in lunch you will need to demonstrate that you've organized and cleaned your particular area, so we urge you to get started!

That means we are asking each employee to go through their own desks and spaces and

  *    sort through all of their things
  *   throw away any disposable obsolete items, such as old papers (for obsolete confidential files there are shredding bins - one in front stairwell of 12 york and 2 near foosball table in 10 york)
  *   "red tag" any larger items like printers, phones, filing cabinets that aren't being used so we can inventory and remove from your desk later
  *   Bring smaller office items that are not in use, such as staplers, file holders, to the office supply room
  *   Wipe down your desks and clean them.

**SPECIAL NOTE TO THE PMs and ENGINEERS

  *   You typically have a lot more product in your areas - this is the time to sort and store all of these things appropriately.
  *   Fold down all of your cardboard boxes and bring to the warehouse for disposal
  *   Properly "red tag" any products you no longer need, but that we must go through

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A GREATER EFFORT TO ORGANIZE and MAINTAIN a CLEAN, SAFE, EFFECTIVE & PRODUCTIVE ENVIRONMENT.

Once you have gone through your own personal spaces, it's time to seek out area leads and ask them what you can do to help the efforts of sorting through and cleaning our common spaces. Here is a list of the area leads:

We would like to have particular focus on these areas in great need:

  1.  Assembly component storage (Noah, Leo, Assembly)
  2.  RGA Area in 12 York WH (Scott, Zenny, Pete F, Alex F)
  3.  10 York WH PM racks- assemble new racks, move material and old racks from other side (Aymen, engineering, WH ee's if needed)
  4.  10 York WH Marketing Area - clean up, remove clutter etc. (Amy, Marketing team)
  5.  10 York mezzanine, Old marketing area (Tom +2-3 helpers to move furniture etc.

Finally, regarding the removal of trash, paper and larger items:

  1.  Bags will be available to collect trash, we have a 30Yd container at the back of 12 York.  If each team can carry bags to the container it would be a big help.
  2.  Paper can be recycled, hanging folders with the metal strips should not be thrown out as they can be re-used.  Note:  We do have shredding bins, but only confidential documents should go in the bins.  Other paper should be collected in a bin and will go out with the weekly recycling.
  3.  Larger items, if the team can safely bring them to the container out back, it would be a big help.  If the item is large and can't be moved safely, please let me know and I will arrange to get it moved.
  4.  Remember, the red tag process should be used if there is an item that is not needed in an area, but is unknown if it should go into the container.  Since we do not have room for a Quarantine area, simply put a note on the item that it is red tagged, and let me know and we can make a decision.

At 3:00PM We will have Cake and Ice Cream to celebrate the April Birthdays and the April Employee of the Month Announcement!

Thank you for your attention! Let's make MaxLite shine!
