Blue Oak Arkansas, not a new name to Mississippi County, but a NEW Client for The Solutions Group. Late last year, the TSG staff began their contact with Mark Wester, Plant Manager. Our relationships have grown and now we are working on several projects with them. 

August 15th and 16th, 8 Blue Oak employees, traveled to the ANC Crisp Center to certify their workers in OSHA 10. Joe Crews, Adjunct Instructor, taught the course and some of the topics included in the OSHA 10 are as follows: 
  • Introduction to OSHA
  • OSHA Electrical
  • Walking and working surfaces including fall protection
  • Hazardous Communication
  • Personal Protective Equipment 
Scott Follett, Mechanical Instructor, has began a long term project on sampling and training 2 people in Six Sigma Green Belt which is an 80 hour lean manufacturing program. Six Sigma Green Belt has two primary tasks: first, to help successfully deploy Six Sigma techniques, and second, to lead small-scale improvement projects within their respective areas. As a support population, Green Belts can do much of the legwork in gathering data and executing experiments in support of a Black Belt project. During the Six Sigma Green Belt Training these employees will learn how to use many of the Six Sigma problem-solving methods and statistical tools to contribute to the success of the organization.

Enterprise Wide Deployment techniques
  • Team management
  • Process management overview 
  • Customer Service
  • Measuring and Data, Sampling, Collection Methods, and System Analysis  
  • Statistical Process 
Blue Oak Arkansas is receiving Great River Economic Development Foundation Grant assistance. TSG looks forward to another long-term relationship.
