The Internship Location: Lake Odessa, MI Position Title: Operations Intern Supervisor: Jessica Swiontek

Training

4 Weeks of training 3 different shifts Each production room Shadowed line operators, food handlers, sanitation

crew Learned standard operating procedures Safety

Importance of Safety

OSHA Report Occupational Safety and Health

Administration Report Safety guarding in POLO, FEL, Maintenance POLO E-Stop Guard or grind down rotating shafts with

keyways, setscrews plant wide Labeling (pipes, hoist lift) Exit & directional signs Painted eyewash stations

Rotating Shafts The Problem:

Unsafe rotating shafts with keyways/setscrews plant wide (152 locations)

Eliminate exposure to trapping clothing, fingers, hair

The Solution: Identify all shafts that do not meet code Address which shafts need grinding or capping Order shaft caps from Dodge, IPTCI, AMI

Safety Guarding The Problem:

Inadequate guarding around all FEL pick and place robots Inadequate guarding on FEL paddle arm pneumatic

assemblies Eliminate shear points & large gaps that don’t meet OSHA

code

The Solution: Worked with C&T to construct/design appropriate safe

guards

POLO Emergency Stop Cables Installed E-stop cables along pack off area Worked with Windemuller to complete

X5 Auger Chute The Problem

On big tote days, egg spills off auger chute & conveyer belt in X5 - builds up on mezzanine

Due to high velocity and poor design on original chute Creates loss of product Causes micro issue

The Solution Worked with C&T to design larger chute with higher side

walls, less angle Goal - Curb loss of product, improve sanitation, higher

yields

Maintenance Action Week Constructed shelving/racks

Organized/labeled bins

Sorted equipment

Took inventory

Small Projects Replaced safety data sheets Active shooter presentations Measured light intensity of plant

3.5% of plant did not meet OSHA regulations POLO temperature study

Assisted taking temperatures in POLO robot room & cooler Track temperature change On average, temperatures increased 3-5 degrees from

Evergreen machine to cooler
