On behalf of the Management Team, another big ‘Thank You’ goes out to everyone for continuing to develop and implement their ideas that will help make Cemex a Safer place to work, with better Quality and greater Efficiency/Effectiveness.

The following summary gives a brief overview of the ideas from the July 2024 competition:

• Dove Holes quarry installed a metal detector with a bag drop system to visually help identify where the metal was detected and an area of where to look to find the metal to remove it. This improvement has resulted in the site generating around £200,000 in downtime reduction and additional production.
• Dagenham Wharf – Have installed side guards to reduce the risk of ‘Falls from Height’ and reduce spillage which could result in ‘Slips, Trips & Falls’ and ‘Non Value Added Time’ clearing spills.
• Berkswell quarry – Optimised their crushing processing equipment to reduce reworking of around 250T of stone per week which results in a saving of around £20,500 per month!

After a tightly fought competition, our congratulations go out to Tom Owen and the Dove Holes quarry team who took the top award this month!
