ALWAYS INNOVATING

Productivity Committee Improves Process, Efficiency, and Outcomes

What happens when fabrication, project managers, VDC, manpower, and field experts in multiple trades get together on a committee?

We do things better.

“We mostly discuss things such as new tools, new construction methods, and other items that either help of hinder productivity,” Bo said.

The ideas and information that come out of committee meetings have been shared with field foremen via Minutes Matter, the original field productivity training talk which was sent out monthly, and the results are currently shared in quarterly foreman meetings.

“How can we improve what we do and how we do it?” This is the question at the heart of the Productivity Committee, created with communicating new ideas and solutions top-of-mind.

According to Vice President Paul Smith, the first meeting took place in 2011.

“Carey Minihan first had the idea,” Paul said. “Because we are a complex company with such diverse offerings, we thought it would be beneficial to share ideas and innovation between teams.“ Today, the committee is headed by Project Manager Bo Wempe, and has expanded to include operations, manpower, fabrication, VDC, and project managers.

The committee itself meets monthly, providing a forum of representatives who aren’t afraid to dig in to the hard questions and provide suggestions for – or criticism of - what’s being done or proposed.

“As we determine cost savings/tools/processes that we need to share, we do it in our quarterly foreman’s meetings,” Paul said.

Many times, the discussions lead to implementation of solutions, or outcomes, that greatly improve efficiency.

For example, Bo notes the recent first-time use of cable hangers on plumbing pipe at Children’s Mercy Hospital (CMH).

“The cable hanger system for plumbing lines is relatively new to the industry, having only been around a couple of years,” Project Manager Nate Pierce explained. “At the time we were deciding to use this system at our CMH Research Tower project, we were only aware of one other contractor in town that had installed this type of system.”

Nate noted that, as with anything new, there was some hesitancy to try it.

“This project involved the remodel of an entire floor, and posed a good opportunity to give the system a try and determine the impact of the savings,” he said.

And the gamble paid off.

“We noticed a direct impact on productivity in the movement of materials to the construction space,” Nate said. “Typical hanger deliveries, fabricated and delivered, would require two people to move the cart off the truck at the loading dock and take it to the space through the facility.

“With these cable hangers, one worker can grab a box of 400 hanger cables and take it to the space without assistance. It would have taken two trips to the construction space to move 400 pre-fab hangers.”

At a recent January meeting, Pipe Shop Production Manager Jeremy Price introduced a new change that will allow greater communication between the field, VDC, and project managers when changes to deliveries occur.

“This year, we began using a new productivity and scheduling software whch allows us to better plan our workflow through the piping/plumbing, electrical, and sheet metal fab shops using real-time updates,” Jeremy said.

“This schedule includes submittal durations, VDC, and shop production with the intent of streamlining the fabrication processes and warehouse deliveries in order to be more productive and thus more profitable.”

In 2020, the Productivity Committee celebrates nine years of innovative implementations and solutions that keep P1 Group working smarter. 

Using cable hangers for plumbing pipe at Children’s Mercy increased productivity and reduced hours.

Fall Corporate Sponsorship Awards Celebrate Mentorship and Inclusion

J.B. Ashcraft, Rob Kinnard, and Off the Grid Adventures Join us in congratulating Lenexa Project Developer J.B. Ashcraft and Las Vegas Foreman Abdon Provencio, winners of our Fall 2019 Corporate Sponsorships.

JB earned $500 for the Off the Grid Adventures Intercept Program (OTG).

The program is an outdoor, camping/ adventure program that reaches out to at risk youth, father/sons, families, veterans, the disabled, and more using outdoor adventure as a tool to mentor and build relationships. The ultimate goal is providing an outlet for those in need of mentoring and education on resources that can help.

J.B. was able to present the award to OTG President and Founder Rob Kinnard, with whom JB has worked at Liberty Hospital over the years.

“I’ve learned about Off the Grid from Rob during my time working at Liberty, and think it’s a great cause. Rob is an incredibly passionate leader,” J.B. said.

“At Off The Grid, not only are we always doing (chores, projects, cooking) but we build relationships with each other in accomplishing these goals, and use the lessons taught that carry over in life,” Rob said.

“OTG’s goal is to put tools in the toolbox of life for those that may be struggling, or just need refueling form the pressures of life.”

According to Rob, the support given to OTG assists in expansions, and they now have five acres in south Missouri to offer canoeing and camping. The Corporate Sponsorship will also help fund supplies for these expeditions.

Abdon Provencio (left) with his daughter and the Sparkle Paws team The next phase of OTG is to offer a therapeutic animal facility teaching those involved with OTG the responsibility to care for these animals.

“Sponsorships make these expansion possible to grow this program,” J.B. said. “The benefit is simply helping others.”

Abdon earned $500 for Sparkle Paws Cheerleading, an inclusive cheer team at Brian & Teri Cram Middle School in North Las Vegas, that includes students with and without disabilities. Cheerleading is adapted to various skill levels, includes boys and girls, and is centered on raising spirit. The group is endorsed by nonprofit organization The Sparkle Effect.

“I am passionate about this organization because it has really helped my daughter live a more normal life and be included with her peers,” Abdon said.

“With her disability, she is not always on the same level with her peers as they are more advanced,” he said. “In the few months she has participated in this program she has really come out of her shell and is much happier.”

Abdon says the money will go toward The Sparkle Effect’s yearly fundraiser - attending and participating in a Disney parade.

“The charter bus is the most expensive obstacle, and this will surely help,” Abdon explained. “Thank you P1 for selecting my daughter’s organization.”

P1 Group proudly supports the communities in which our associates live and work, and we look forward to the next round of Corporate Sponsorship awards in the Spring.

If you have an organization you think would make a good candidate, look for communication next year on how to apply. 

Project Profile: Lawrence Memorial Hospital Sterile Processing Addition

PROJECT TEAM Nathan Pendergraft Project Manager

One of the most common challenges P1 Group faces on the job is working around unforeseeable conditions, such as weather or busy facilities that can’t be shut down for construction. In many instances, our field teams have to think quick to come up with rescheduling solutions and demonstrate extreme care working around staff and facility users, sometimes in critical environments.

Such was the case with the recent 8,000 sq. ft. sterile processing addition to Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH).

P1 Group worked with General Contractor McCownGordon, architect ACI Boland, and engineer Henderson Engineers on the electrical project which was completed in late September, 2019.

Darren Ousdahl Foreman

“The project had weather challenges in the beginning which impacted schedule early on,” P1 Project Engineer Nathan Pendergraft sad. “Fortunately our trade coordination meetings helped us meet and exceed key milestones despite the challenges.”

The team also had to work around LMH’s surgery schedules, so the project team performed strategic planning and phasing to accommodate.

Brady Houghtaling Foreman

The project included electrical construction and fabrication for the installation of more than 100 light fixtures and several thousand feet of conduit and wire in the new addition.

“Foremen Darren Ousdahl and Brady Houghtaling’s extensive knowledge of the LMH Facility was a key contribution to providing solutions to challenges that arose,” Nathan

said. “Overall, the project was a success due to the team’s open lines of communication between the office and the field.”

P1 Group’s team effort did not escape the attention of the project GC, either. Here’s what McCownGordon Senior Project Manager Tyler Stotler had to say in a letter to P1 Group CEO Smitty Belcher: “On behalf of McCownGordon, I would like to thank you for your company’s performance on the LMH Sterile Processing & Distribution Addition. Your project team’s attitude towards safety, attention to detail, and commitment to quality helped to ensure this project was a success for the entire team.

“Fortunately our trade coordination meetings helped us meet and exceed key milestones despite the challenges.”

Darren Ousdahl’s experience and knowledge of the hospital was helpful and instilled confidence in our team from the hospital’s perspective. Darren was professional and friendly. Darren took time out of his day on multiple occasions to help me wrap my head around detailed RFls and understand complex issues.

Nathan Pendergraft’s documentation and organization was appreciated as it related to submittals, procurement, and change management. Nathan attended nearly every sub progress meeting which made the difference with field-to-office communication.

Brady Houghtaling was detail oriented, timely, and maintained good communication with our team throughout. This made the transition at the end of the project a smooth one. Brady also went out of his way to help us complete low voltage door controls at the end of the job.

We value our strong relationships with trade partners who perform exceptionally well, and we look forward to working with your team on future projects.”

Another show of P1 Group’s staunch commitment to safety, communication, quality, and integrity. Great job, guys! 

Solving the Puzzle: Associate Spotlight on Vanessa Taylor You may not realize how much of what you learn, and the daily resources you use as a P1 Group associate come from Vanessa Taylor, IT Special Projects.

She was on her way to a degree when she got a job with the Shawnee Mission School District – the very first help desk person they’d ever hired, in fact.

Most of us have touched base with Vanessa at some point with an IT issue or task, and solving our various conundrums is exactly why Vanessa chose a career in IT.

And her love of solving a puzzle is what has kept her in the IT field all this time.

“I’m huge on puzzles and games. The thrill of troubleshooting, and figuring it out, is what I really enjoy.”

It all started when “Santa” brought Vanessa’s household an Apple IIc (the fourth model in the Apple II generation of personal computers) for Christmas when Vanessa was in junior high.

“I was on that thing nonstop,” Vanessa said. She says she was hooked on the computer.

Vanessa was interested in both technology and 4-H, learning how to cook and other home-ec skills from her mom. She thought she’d go into either IT or the restaurant business.

“My dad was very influential in getting me into the computer field, so that’s where I pointed my career,” Vanessa said.

“I’m huge on puzzles and games,” Vanessa said. “The thrill of troubleshooting, and figuring it out, is what I really enjoy.”

And Vanessa has been instrumental in creation and contribution to some of the very learning tools that give P1 Group associates that extra edge.

Her first project at P1 Group was to build an intranet resource for associates, which became “The Hub”, we all use for valuable information and updates.

“One thing I never thought I’d be doing in IT, but really enjoy, is the training videos.” These videos are part of P1 Group’s online Learning Library that most associates can access anytime, ranging from topics on safety, estimating, Facility Management and Operations, and more.

Vanessa never lost her affinity for the other side of being creative, however. When not at work, she’s heavily into quilting and scrapbooking. She has space in her basement, including a crop room, where friends gather to scrapbook.

WHAT IS BLUEBEAM? For those of us who may be new or not use it, BlueBeam is a PDF program, like Acrobat, made specifically for the construction industry, including tools for measurements, estimating, tools for construction drawings, etc.

FUN FACT: When Vanessa was younger, she used to help her dad around the office. He happened to own a construction company, and Vanessa helped build bidding spreadsheets and checked on awarded bids. “I never thought I’d end up in construction,” she said. Yet it seems to have all come full circle!

She has another room dedicated to sewing in which friends meet weekly to sew.

In addition, she helps create crafts for a good cause. Vanessa’s threader’s group makes prayer quilts for those in need of a spiritual boost, as well as sellable crafts. The money goes to people in need directly within her community.

But those of us at P1 Group probably know Vanessa for one craft in particular: the P1 Group 100-year quilt she made from shirts and other materials representing the richness of P1 Group’s centennial celebration.

“P1 Group has always been very good to me, and I came up with the idea because I wanted to find a way to show the company how much I appreciate what they’ve done for me,” Vanessa said.

One quilt was awarded to Smitty on his birthday, and one is now framed and proudly displayed at the Lenexa company headquarters.

You can’t talk about the work you do without talking about the people who do it, and Vanessa is one of the fascinating and talented personalities bringing the P1 Group culture to life. 

Halt the Salt

How Much Sodium is Too Much and How to Cut Down How much salt is too much? The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that as part of a healthy eating plan, Americans should aim to consume less than 2,300 mg. of sodium (salt) each day. This is equivalent to less than one teaspoon. The American Heart Association recommends that an even healthier target is less than 1,500 mg a day of sodium.

That’s a tough order considering one restaurant meal could equal your intake for the week (or more). The impacts of too much sodium, as most of us know, include high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, heart failure, kidney damage, and more.

Awareness can help! Most of the sodium that the average American consumes is in salt contained in processed, prepackaged, and restaurant foods.

The American Heart Association has identified “The Salty Six”, foods particularly high in sodium. Here are a few strategies to help halt the salt.



Avoid The Salty Six • Cold cuts and cured meats • Pizza • Canned soups • Breads and rolls • Sandwiches • Burritos and tacos

Visit heart.org, take part in the “Sodium Swap,” and “change your

salty ways in just 21 days.”

For more information about sodium and how to reduce it, go to cdc.gov and search “reducing sodium.”

10

Focus on eating more fruits, vegetables, fat-free or low-fat dairy, lean protein and whole grains. Limit foods with added salt, sugar and those that are high in unhealthy (saturated and trans) fats.



Keep the salt shaker off the table and limit its use in cooking.

Try adding different spices, herbs and vegetables to your dishes for enhanced flavor.



Aim to use more low-sodium or no-salt-added ingredients in preparing dishes and recipes..



Limit or avoid purchasing unhealthy snack foods – those with added sugars and that are high in salt content.



Always check the Nutrition Facts label when grocery shopping to pick the products that are lower in sodium.



Request the nutrition information for restaurant menu items. Chain restaurants should have this available on their websites or at their locations.

Don’t Sweat It! 7 Tips for More Effective Presentations Most people would rather have a root canal than get up in front of a room full of people to deliver a speech or presentation.

you are. Start by entertaining them with a story or an attentiongrabbing (but relevant) image.

But if you find yourself having to present, using a few of these pointers will leave your audience with a more positive and memorable experience.

6. AVOID “DEATH BY POWERPOINT”

1. SHOW YOUR PASSION AND CONNECT WITH YOUR AUDIENCE Try to relax and be conversational – not rehearsed.

When you’re enthusiastic and honest, the audience will be more at ease. Smile and make eye contact – your audience needs to see you as well as your presentation.

2. TELL THEM EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO REMEMBER – TWICE Start your presentation with the one key takeaway you want your audience to remember. Then repeat it at the end of the presentation. Position your presentation with the reason you’re doing it to begin with.

3. KEEP IT SIMPLE – CONCENTRATE ON YOUR CORE MESSAGE Some experts recommend a 30-second ‘elevator summary’, others something you can write on the back of a business card, or say in no more than 15 words. And if what you are planning to say doesn’t contribute to that core message, don’t say it.

5. START STRONG The beginning of your presentation is crucial. You need to grab your audience’s attention and hold it. Don’t waste that on explaining who

As a general rule, slides should be the sideshow to you, the presenter.

A good set of slides should be no use without the presenter, and they should definitely contain less, rather than more, information, expressed simply. Try using a font size of no less than 30 points to help keep your slide points brief. If you need to provide more information, create a handout or takeaway summary.

7. TELL STORIES Human beings are programmed to respond to stories.

Stories help us to pay attention, and also to remember things. If you can use stories in your presentation, your audience is more likely to engage and to remember your points afterwards. Think about what story you are trying to tell your audience, and create your presentation to tell it.

It’s also a good idea to do a run-through and rehearse your presentation before delivering so you can get used to the material and make sure everything you plan to use, like technology, is working.

When you’re having fun, so is your audience.

Need presentation help? P1 Group’s Marketing Department can help, from making your presentation look good to helping you with content and performance.

2020 Fit and Focused: Kansas City Corporate Challenge It’s time once again to sign up for the Kansas City Corporate Challenge (KCCC), an Olympic-type event that allows companies throughout Kansas City to interact by competing in a wide variety of sporting events. Events cover a wide spectrum, from track to trap shooting.

P1 Group has been participating in KCCC nearly every year since 2003. This year’s events take place April 10-June 27.

The P1 Group KCCC committee this year includes Tennille Tegeler, Beth Martens, Danae Spresser, Dustin Thorne, Andrew Tate, Bret Faris, and James Daugherty.

“My favorite part about KCCC is getting to know other folks from P1 Group I normally wouldn’t have any interaction with,” Tennille said. “I really enjoyed watching the pool tournament last year and look forward to it again this year.”

Plus, it’s a family friendly event: partners, friends and family are welcome to attend the kickoff, volunteer or just come cheer you on at events.

Join the fun: P1 Group needs committed participants so we can show in as many activities as possible. But equally important are the volunteers.

If the games aren’t for you, consider volunteering.

Got questions? Contact Tennille Tegeler or stop by the sign-up party Feb. 4, 4 p.m., in the Lenexa Gathering Room.

“Weightlifting, volleyball, shot put, bowling, kickoff walk – I enjoy playing most sports and it’s fun to bond through the spirit of competition.” –James Daugherty, VDC Specialist
