Process

We will realize our vision by making continuous improvements in these vital areas:

* Safe:  Calumet will continually strive to reduce injury and illness.
* Silent:  an ongoing effort will be made toward making Calumet a quieter place through noise reduction.
* Spotless:  We will seek new and improved ways to make our workplace cleaner, neater and more organized.
* Zero Setups:  a goal of reducing non-productive time and shortening setup time can be obtained. Reduction of setup time through improvements in organization, training, an equipment will result in a reduction of lead-time and inventory.
* Zero Defects:  elimination of rejects and rework through defect prevention will increase our productivity.
* Zero Waste:  Elimination of non-value activities through lean manufacturing techniques will reduce waste and increase profitability.
