In its continuing pursuit to improve processes, Bounty Agro Ventures Inc held last March 10 the 5S Recognition Program to honor employees who have contributed to ensuring a clean, uncluttered, safe, and well-organized workplace that ultimately led to a reduction waste and optimized productivity in the organization.
The recognition is in line with the Ideas-to-Improve Program spearheaded by the MCS Process Improvement, Compliance Support Center.
5S participants from Dressing Plant warehouses, Business Center Warehouses, and MedVac Storage presented last March 3 their initiatives to panelists Amira May Cajote – Estrellado (Senior Supervisor, Processing Operations), Young Sunday M. Domingo (Head, Health and Safety Unit), and Dr. Erasmus J. Paderes (Senior Vice President, Feed Mill Operations & Animal Health Support Center) who assessed the improvements done through 5S implementation. The initiatives were also measured by the savings generated after the implementation of 5S.
