1982 COST REDUCTION ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Attached are 1982 Cost Reduction Accomplishments at Newport totalling $Q.596MM vs. 9/81 forecast of $0.45MM firm and $0.458MM goal. These reductions represent 45% of the total site cost reduction of $1.3MM. Most of the accomplishments are shared between R&D and Production. Explanations are included for 20% deviations from forecast. Accomplishments versus goal are lower than forecast principally due to only partial demon stration of reduced methylate in quinacridone manufacture.

1982 COST REDUCTION ACCOMPLISHMENTS PROGRAM WITH VARIANCES GREATER THAN 20% CPC Reduce Kerosene ($42M achieved vs. $100M goal forecast) Kerosene consumption was reduced from 0.9 to 0.7 lb. per pound of CPC (goal 0.4 lb.) through improved decanter operation and improved BB/BBF phase separations. Loss rate in approaching the historical rate in plant I (0.6 lb./ lb.). Pigment Losses ($0M achieved vs. ?40M firm and $40M goal) Actual gate losses decreased from 900 to 300 pounds per day. As a percentage of production, losses remained constant (6%). R&D Manpower ($57M achieved vs. $20M firm) Reduction for one early retirement (wageroll) and one transfer (exempt) were divided equally between CPC and QA. Lower Cost Beta CPC ($0M achieved vs. $60M goal) The marketing opportunity has diminished for these products.
