TO RESOLVE MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS BEFORE MANPOWER IS CUT. HIGH MANPOWER REQUIRED TO MEET CRITICAL END OF 1982 TIMING FOR DOCUMENTATION - TIMING SET BY BUSINESS DIVISION. - GENERAL MANAGEMENT AGREES AND IS LOOKING FOR ON-TIME ACCOMPLISHMENT. DUP050145413 PROGRAMS OF IMPLEMENTATION BARE BONES Production; Reduce Newport and Newark Plant organization to operate safely, meeting legal requirements at the following pro duction levels: Newport Newark > CPC QA 235M Lbs./Mo, 180M Lbs./Mo. 2800M Lbs./Mo. Establish a formal communication so a marked increase in production level requires six months' notification for manpower adjustment. Complete Process Documentation and Product Quality Manage ment 'Programs so they are in place and operational with longer intervals between updating procedures and manuals. Redirect and allocate R&D and Production resources to assure all processes are technically sophisticated and can be operated within standard parameters producing quality product repetitively. ^ Install a material handling system at Newport that simpli fies raw material unloading and intra-plant product move ment resulting in a reduction of manpower. Locate locker and shower facilities adjacent to or in the operating buildings at Newport so people administration is handled effectively with less supervision. Install second membrane press in the Newark Pressing and Drying area to reduce manpower. Switch YE-69 8 Batch Process at Newark to the Continuous Unit to reduce-manpower. Switch Krolor at Newark to the existing extruder that is freed up by moving YE-69 8 to the Continuous Unit. Reduc tion of manpower results.
