The Calumet Way
We are guided in all of our
actions and decisions by a set of strongly held values. We believe in: |
| |
|
* Honesty and
Integrity:
our consistent adherence to honesty and integrity makes us a
dependable and predictable company |
|
* Loyalty:
we will be loyal
partners with our customers and suppliers,
always acting in our mutual interests |
|

our behavior and
communications will always be respectful |
|
| |
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. |

The Bottom Line
Performance measured against all of these standards will bring prosperity to all stakeholders, our families, employees, customers, and suppliers. |
