The intricate ductwork on Bldg. 81 was prefabricated and installed by Richard Calzone, Anthony Malone and Joseph Pellicciotto of the Chemical Maintenance Dept. They were assisted by the Millwrights and Joe Oliviera and Al Mukosey who assisted with the high work.
The Maintenance and Engineering Services Dept. does many things for the Naugatuck Plant… many of them unnoticed. Among the things they have performed is the installation of new equipment.
When an AR was approved for the purchase and installation of new hoods in the Bldg. 81 Quality Control Lab, the planning on the installation began…
Project Spotlight’s Buildings
by Norm Boisseau & Bob Breton
The purpose of the Spotlight project is to focus on the people, products, activities and operations of our individual production facilities. It will provide an opportunity for other departments such as Sales, Marketing, Accounting, D/S, R&D and Purchasing and will attempt to show the impact and inter-reaction of these various groups to our plant operations. In addition, it will provide an opportunity to assess our safety and housekeeping programs and show their contribution to total plant operating profit. Profit improvement programs will also be reviewed.
All Bldgs. Included
This will be accomplished primarily by conducting building tours with follow-up group discussion over a series of several buildings. This same format will be repeated for each building or group of buildings. The project will be started within the next month or so. In order for it to be successful it will require the active participation and cooperation of all people in each building.

Plant Profit Up
For the first four months of 1979 I manufacturing fixed costs such as selling, accounting, corporate transfer and tax expenses.
The buildings which showed the most significant improvement for the 4 month period in 1979 were Bldg. 100, Blue 124, FOC, Bldg. 70 and Bldg. 88.
This outstanding performance in profit improvement for the Naugatuck Chemical Plant is the result of intensified planning and cooperative effort of management and wage personnel working together to make the Chemical Plant the best in Uniroyal.
