Who Moved My Cheese?
By Tom Hopkins

It has been announced recently that changes were on the horizon for the Bond Distribution Facility. Over the past month, the managers and supervisors have been working hard to implement these changes as they relate to the warehousing, order processing/picking, inventory control, customer service/bio-medical repair and distribution areas. Realignment and reporting of staff has been the primary focus, which will allow for better control of staffing, inventory issues and warehouse processes within the Distribution Center.

We have been faced with several challenges or growing pains with some staff performing multiple functions for all three departments, which we are working through. We will continue to monitor these areas and feel our way through, looking for possible ways to improve our current process. Overall the transition has gone very well and support from everyone involved has been tremendous. We began working hard to become more of a team in all three areas, working together more during this process. I would like to thank all of the staff that has recognized changes in their reporting and/or scheduling. You have been so understanding and cooperative and we will continue to improve and move forward to finalize this transition.

Congratulations to all involved. Your support and effort have been outstanding.
