AGF Rebar Scarborough plant sets company-wide production record with 12-hour shifts

Ontario Construction News staff writer

AGF Rebar’s Scarborough plant set a production record for the company in September, after operations manager Naveed Aslam started a new 12-hour-per day shift regime.
“This innovative idea proved very effective for the team, and they were able to achieve ground-breaking numbers that have never been seen across AGF Rebar,” the company reported in its The Network newsletter.

AGF also credited production manager Louis Villavarayen, supervisors Jerry Thomas and Waqar Amjad  “and the hardworking production team who made this happen!”

Production hit records not only on a daily basis, but also for the entire month.

The company arranged a celebration event on Oct. 8.

“The air was filled with joy and a feeling of accomplishment while the team participated in a raffle draw with the proceeds going to the AGF Group Foundation,” the newsletter reported. “There were trivia games arranged by the Health and Safety team along with loads of laughter and team cheer.”

“The HR team had creatively arranged for a photo booth backdrop to capture everyone’s smiling faces that day. The celebration ended with pizza and pop for all who attended.”
