Project goals

  • Improve buffer time
  • Reduce down time
  • Establish stronger safety program

Our solution

HTI added additional front-end training due to an out of weight bloc. With our on-site leadership team, we reinforced response time, oversaw time stamp notifications and tracked which operator cut the bloc, giving real time feedback and an enhanced accountability system. HTI reinforced safety measures through a strong floor presence and stressing a safety culture from day one. Additionally, we scheduled 'go and sees' at various intervals to follow up on the safety and performance of new hires and recently certified operators.

  • Strengthened response time & accountability
  • Tracked actions for real time feedback
  • Implemented strong floor leadership & safety culture

The results

HTI can implement leadership and accountability practices that elevate your workplace efficiency and safety - so you can unlock your team's full potential.
