December

Furnace Taskforce

From December 14 to January 1, top managers (engineers and heads of reliability, production & maintenance departments) were included in the shift teams. The objectives were to: 

- Bring an outside perspective on shift supervision and decision-making

- Analyze situations and assess the difficulties encountered by the workers

- Improve communication between the teams (transition from the recipient to the inter-station)

During the taskforce, load was increased (ref to pictures) thanks to:

- Testing higher resistance setpoints to limit intensity defaults

- Improved hood temperature control
