The Compass
Issue
TEN
In 2011 we accomplished or exceeded all of our goals. None of these is more important
than our Safety record and statistics. Understanding that numbers or statistics represent employees getting injured or hurt on the job, it is this that we want to improve or
eliminate. We need to protect our greatest asset—“people”.
We made many improvements in safety such as updating our pedestrian walkways, improving our visual factory, identifying our model area, the introduction of unsafe acts, unsafe conditions and near miss reports to just name a few.
Safety is the first pillar and the most important pillar in WCM and rightfully
so. I have many goals this year but none more important than to continue to
improve Safety throughout the organization. Last year we finished with 0
lost time injuries, 12 recordables and 41 first aids.
Please work safely, continue to report unsafe acts and unsafe condiOUR Mission:

OUR VISION:
To have a fully engaged workforce dedicated to the
principles of World Class Manufacturing, leading by
example through:

Cultivating a completely safe work environment;

Meeting and exceeding customer expectations
and requirements;

Driving out waste from our operation
WCM is the road map we will use to become the best
Interior Component Company in the world, most admired for our people, partnerships, quality and innovation.
We have acquired new business from a
company called ACH and we are now
launching shell production for the Ford Focus program. Due to high sales on this vehicle an additional shell supplier was needed and that’s where we came in. We will be running 4 shell nickels
over 3 shifts. This additional work has driven us to require mods to
be run on all three shifts. This program began in April and will run
for ten months. This marks the first business outside of Chrysler that
we have obtained since becoming CpK.
Thank you to all who have been involved in launching this program
in such a short time. We always deliver even under pressure and
come out successful! This program will be no exception.

WCM THOUGHTS...Sometimes it takes someone from the
outside to hit an issue home and this was the case Wednesday, April
25th. We had the opportunity to have Mauro Pino, Chrysler’s Head of
WCM — NAFTA, and his team visit and review our facility. The feedback provided was very positive; he challenged us to learn, apply and expand
WCM quickly and effectively ensuring sustainable results.
During the PM board review Mauro Pino took off his safety glasses. At the closing
of the meeting he comment on the fact that no one had spoken to him regarding
his lack of PPE.
I’m sure that we could all come up with a reason we didn’t, but then we’d be
missing the point...Safety has no boundaries! It is our responsibility that if we
see it, we correct it immediately if possible or report it to the appropriate personnel for correction, after all…………………………….. SAFETY MATTERS

EARLY EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
To continue to be successful in business and meet the many challenges that our industry faces today, it is crucial that we apply the methodologies of Early Equipment
Management (EEM). The focus of this pillar is to incorporate the experience of all
pillars in developing low cost equipment that is safe, reliable, maintainable, and production ready in
minimal time (vertical start-up).
Jim Horner
Product Engineering
Manager
To do this, information about problems on our current equipment and tools must be continuously collected through many sources, including SEWOs, EWOS, Kaisers, Work Orders, Lessons Learned, and
documented on an MPI (Maintenance Prevention Information). This form describes an issue/solution regarding a
problem with a piece of equipment and drives a checklist question that is asked during the development of new equipment. The goal is to ask most of the questions upfront during the early planning stages, thereby reducing the initial
cost and lead-time.
When purchasing new equipment, we can pull up the machine category and transfer the information from the MPI
form, including the checklist questions, into specifications that improve the machine’s safety and environmental function as well as others.
Like all other pillars, EEM has key activities that are measured to drive improvement and these are “number of MPI
Forms created” and “number of Checklist Questions reviewed”. During our first WCM audit, the auditor commented
that we should be targeting the development of over 10,000 checklist questions.
We are aware that this will not happen overnight and ask that we keep the information flowing utilizing the MPI form.
This will enable us to lower equipment life cycle costs (LCC); improve our business performance and manufacturing
capabilities thereby making CpK Interior Products more competitive in a challenging industry.
THE MPI form can be found on the WCM Information Centre under Forms.

BRAIN TEASERS
Test your Brain Power!
Ready to give your brain a little exercise? See if you can solve the
brain teasers below. Good Luck! (Answers below)
1. You have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug. You need to measure out exactly 7
gallons of water. How do you do it?
2. Count the “f’s” in this passage FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
How many did you count?

Tell us if you have taken ADVANTAGE of the Chrysler Advantage Plan during the period of April
1st, 2012 to June 30th, 2012 for your chance to win a $25.00 Gas Card. Send an email to
[email protected] or leave a message at 905-885-3526. Please provide your name, shift, supervisor and the date and type of vehicle that you purchased.
GOOD LUCK!
2. There are 6 “f” in this passage. If you only counted 3, you’re not alone. Most people fail to
count the “f’s” in the word of. Why? When looking for “f’s” your brain is actually scanning
for the sound of the letter “f” - which usually makes the /f/sound, like in fox. In the word of,
though, “f” makes the /v/sound. As a result, the brain overlooks the word of as it scans for
the sound /f/.
1. Fill the 5 gallon jug with water, pour into the 3 gallon jug until the 3 gallon is full, leaving 2
gallons in the 5 gallon jug. Now pour out the water in the 3 gallon jug. Pour the 2 gallons of
water (in the 5 gallon jug) into the empty 3 gallon jug. Fill the 5 gallon jug. You now have exactly 7 gallons!

PRINCIPLES OF THE HEINRICH PRYAMID
Is SAFETY NUMBER 1?
The implementation of the reporting of “Unsafe Acts, Conditions and Near Misses” has certainly raised considerable activity within our facility. As a result, it is important to take the time to understand the Heinrich
pyramid as it is the key to achieving “MISSION ZERO”.
The Heinrich Pyramid is built as follows:
1 Fatality
30 Lost Time Injuries
300 Minor Injuries
Statistics have shown that for every 1 fatality
there should be a number of corresponding
injuries, unsafe acts and conditions
Our 2011 and YTD 2012 statistics are as follows:
YTD

30,000 Unsafe Acts &
Conditions
Near Miss: An event that under even slightly different circumstances could have lead to an injury.
Unsafe Condition: Any condition not caused by a
human (i.e. environment, machine) that could
lead to an injury.
Unsafe Acts:
Any human related action that could lead to an
injury.
As an organization we are committed to achieving “ZERO”, it will take
the entire organization to build a new pyramid without lost times, severe injury, recordables or first aids. The way to achieve this new pyramid is to continue to identifying Unsafe Acts , Unsafe Conditions and
Near Misses and correct them appropriately at a plant wide level.
Page 13
SAFETY: SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Safety is in our lives every day. Everywhere we look safety is all around us; our homes (with smoke detectors), in the general public (posted speed limits), and of course, in the workplace. So, in a sense, safety is
always touching our lives.
Safety is not a complex mathematical equation, it’s common sense. For example, if your friend or family
member is about to walk into on-coming traffic, would we not reach out to them and pull them back to
safety to ensure that they are not hit by a car? Well, of course we would. It just makes sense.
In every injury, there are (usually) multiple Unsafe Acts/Conditions that will contribute. It is important to
understand that by eliminating Unsafe Acts/Conditions, we in turn, eliminate the hazard(s) that causes the
injury. That is the goal of the identifying and correcting Unsafe Acts and Conditions; Injury Prevention.
The perception of identifying Unsafe Acts/Conditions has been defined by some as “ratting” out people
and it is upsetting to think that looking out for your friend or co-worker is considered such. If we think
back to the friend or family member crossing the road and pulling them
back to safety—we are doing so because we care and they would likely
thank you, and feel you are just looking out for them, ensuring they are
not injured. Why wouldn’t we think the same way about preventing injuries at work?
Remember safety is about you and me (us). Our families depend on us to
come home the same way we went to work.
Let’s work together to make this happen.

It is instinctual and a part of a salmon’s DNA to run for the
top. The fish are focused on the survival of the species and
therefore are driven, regardless of obstacles, to meet whatever
challenge lies ahead.
We have been brought to the base of the fish ladder through
the perseverance and determination of the many generations
of our workforce. Through the application of World Class
Manufacturing methodologies and tools we will run to the top. Thereby, ensuring our continued success in an

WELLNESS CORNER
Healthy Body Images - A Positive Way to Look at Yourself
Body image is the mental picture you have of your body plus the feelings and judgements you have about this
picture. This picture is often very inaccurate and has little to do with how you actually look or how other people see you. With positive thoughts and lifestyle choices you can change you body image and how others respond to you.
Ten steps for building a positive body image
1. Accept yourself. Feeling good about yourself starts with accepting who you are and how you look. Healthy bodies come
in all shapes and sizes. Focus on your good qualities and pass over any negatives.
2. Step off the diet roller coaster - for good. Dieting brings temporary weight loss, but 1/3 to 2/3 of the weight is usually
gained back in the fist year. Almost all the weight is gained back within five years and sometimes much more. The cycle
of losing and gaining can be harmful to you health and it can lead to frustration, anger and an even poorer body image.
So, stop dieting. Instead, eat well and enjoy being active.
3. Enjoy eating well. Eat for energy and for pleasure. Follow Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating. Choose more grains,
pasta, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Choose lower-fat dairy products, leaner meats and foods prepared with little or
no fat and see how good they taste. Don’t worry about having chocolate once and a while. The trick is to only "indulge"
once in a while! Think of balancing what you eat over the day or week and remember that moderation is the key.
4. Enjoy being active. How about a noon-time walk, a family hike or a swim with friends? Physical activity lets you enjoy
the outdoors and helps you deal with stress while making you feel more energetic.
5. Create a mental spa. Breathe deeply and relax. Doesn’t it feel good to slow down and let go of your responsibilities for
a while? Experience the magic when you quiet your mind and let yourself enjoy the stillness.
6. Make your imagination work for you. Everyone has 5,000 thoughts every hour! Use your imagination to practice attitudes you want in your life.
7. Look your best always. How you keep yourself shows how you feel about yourself. Wear clothes that fit and give away
the ones you never wear. For fun, try a new hair style, tie on a scarf or indulge in a new pair of earrings. And remember
to smile. It gives you and everyone you meet a real boost.
8. Get support from family and friends. Ask for help when you need it. Organize a group of friends or find a buddy and
help each other meet your goal to be the best that you can be. Think of ways to create lots of fun and laughter for each
other.
9. Be thankful. To take your mind off negative thoughts, make a list of 10 things that give
you pleasure and keep this where you can see it. Make another list of the beautiful aspects of yourself - all the things your friends have complimented you on. This helps you
realize how beautiful you really are.
10. Express you creative self. Do things for fun - instead of competing or trying to be perfect! Have fun expressing your personality through crafts, sewing, cooking, decorating,
gardening or anything else that helps you feel happy. Know that you are unique and express it!
Summary - one positive step at a time
Developing a positive body image is a gradual process. Relax, take your time, and congratulate yourself every step along the way as you learn to accept you body. And remember...enjoy eating well, being active
and feeling good about yourself.
