Sintesi

TLDRThe CVP 500 project in Jeffersonville, Indiana, has successfully reduced the company's carbon footprint by 8% by optimizing packaging sizes for efficient shipping. This initiative has also led to a 50% decrease in workplace injuries over two years by enhancing ergonomic practices. Additionally, the deployment of the CVP uses entirely recyclable materials, replacing previous products that ended up in landfills.

Punti di forza

  • 🌍 Reduced carbon footprint by 8%.
  • 📦 Implemented smaller, form-fitted boxes.
  • 🚚 Optimized carrier operations with maximum packaging efficiency.
  • ⚠️ Achieved 50% reduction in recordable injuries.
  • ♻️ Utilizes 100% recyclable materials.

    Five years ago, an automation project called CVP 500 was launched in Jeffersonville, Indiana, resulting in an 8% reduction in carbon footprint by minimizing diesel fuel use. This was achieved through the creation of custom-sized boxes for each order, maximizing package efficiency on carriers such as UPS and FedEx. Another key objective of the CVP deployment was to reduce workplace injuries caused by repetitive lifting and bending, leading to a 50% decrease in recordable injuries over the past two years. Furthermore, the CVP emphasizes environmental stewardship by using 100% recyclable materials, contrasting with previous practices that resulted in waste being sent to landfills.

    Five years ago we implemented our first big  automation project within distribution which
  • 00:00:05
    was our CVP 500 here in Jeffersonville, Indiana.  We've actually reduced our carbon footprint
  • 00:00:11
    by about eight percent through the reduction  of diesel fuel with our carriers. We've done
  • 00:00:16
    that by producing the smallest possible box  form-fitted to each product for each order.
  • 00:00:22
    Meaning that the carriers UPS, FedEx, and so  on, can fit the maximum amount of packages
  • 00:00:28
    onto their trailers minimizing the amount of  runs that they need to make and reducing that
  • 00:00:33
    fuel consumption through that. One of our main  objectives through the deployment of the CVP was
  • 00:00:38
    also to reduce recordable injuries within our  facility. We knew that ergonomics and lifting,
  • 00:00:45
    twisting, and bending was an activity that we  performed day in day out, and took a close look
  • 00:00:52
    at how do we minimize that. And through the  deployment of the CVP we've actually reduced
  • 00:00:57
    our recordable injuries 50 percent year over  year over the last two years. As we strive
  • 00:01:03
    to become better stewards of the environment  we look to improve our carbon footprint and
  • 00:01:08
    environmental impacts and the CVP is actually  utilizing 100 percent recyclable materials,
  • 00:01:14
    where in the past some portion of that product  ended up in a landfill now it can all be recycled.
