Editor's Notes
- #5: Emphasizing the speed of change and the ever changing world we live in
- #6: Asking the questions before showing the answers to bring the group into the conversation/presentation. Create a realization of wow, when you step back and see the big picture
- #7: The business case around us needing to have a strategy to overcome the ever important unit cost gap between us and the Essilor facilities in other countries, other companies, etc.
- #8: To overcome the above the following strategy has been devised for Dudley
- #10: Important to talk about this being a long standing plan in the works for some time – 2008. Inspection system is very good in Dudley, but still subjective. The Auto-sort helps with that problem and is our gateway to Technology. Once that piece was confirmed as a Innovative solution the past few years focus has been around integration of that into our manufacturing process along with what else that could give us the ability to do – Conveyors, ASDM, Accumulation of lenses in process.
- #12: High level map of the new process. Point out the new technologies in green; what they are, what they do and the benefit that they bring to our process
- #13: More firm dates will be communicated through your local managers as they become firm and are relevant to your functional area
- #14: Date of Cafeteria closing is not determined at this time, but it will be very soon. The facilities team is in the final stages of determining lay-out of the new line and what area will be free for a potential area to be set-up. The space will be smaller than currently available, so breaks will have to be spread out and other break areas may need to be utilized. As soon as more firm details are available communication will occur
- #15: Dotted line is where the FIP ph.2 will end as known today. Important to note the flow and how in the process of construction and line set-up that it will change and a door to Molding will be used for the majority of truck traffic
- #16: More details to be shared on training specifics and timing through your functional managers and teams in the coming weeks, months.
- #17: Volumes as we see them right now – Overall above budget, with a slight drop in Q2 and then again in Q4
- #18: Clear volumes are strong and above budget!
- #19: Polar is below budget by nearly 1.5k lenses a day, but they are stable throughout the year. The biggest contributor is Kbco and not buying as much as they initially anticipated last fall
- #20: Atuo-Tech is a production position that will be capable of operating the FIP line as whole. This is a new position to the organization that requires some pre-requisite skills in mechanical, electric, database and Automation
- #21: Factors can change the total number of 38, but from the information we have this is what we see currently A voluntary lay-off option will be offered. Applications will be accepted and will be reviewed for feasibility. We can not guarantee that all requests for voluntary lay-off can be honored. Temporary Staff would then be impacted and assignments will end. Currently, there are 26 temporary team members. We will be meeting with these team members in a follow-up meeting separately. Any team member on active final notice will be impacted. Further steps for reduction in force if needed will be explained in detail in April. Outplacement services – A comprehensive plan for transitional services such as on-site outplacement assistance, assistance with filing for unemployment, and other means of assistance is being developed. This will also be communicated during the April timeframe.
