ISSUE 2 N E W S L E T T E R APR - JUN 2008<br />

A<br />

Hello <strong>Lockwood</strong>!<br />

Spring is here and 2008 is zooming by.<br />

In this issue you will see stories on<br />

departmental changes and news (and<br />

there is plenty to talk about), and our<br />

people (200 strong and counting).<br />

You’ll see a note from our President,<br />

Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong> and his thoughts. Plus<br />

an update on Valve School with Tom<br />

<strong>Lockwood</strong>, Vice President. You’ll<br />

(hopefully) notice the contest is still<br />

running for naming this publication-that<br />

means we haven’t found one yet, so<br />

keep the ideas coming in! We thought<br />

it would be nice to share information on<br />

where and how our company is helping<br />

others. We will begin to spotlight<br />

branches in the order they were<br />

opened and first up is <strong>Edmonton</strong>. Of<br />

course, a welcome to our new hires, a<br />

shout-out to birthdays and births, as<br />

well as the beginning of our Tenure<br />

Section. If you don’t see a story on<br />

your department yet or branch, you<br />

will. We’ll continue to do stories about<br />

our people but need involvement with<br />

our branches - please send us<br />

information. This is a quarterly publication<br />

and we want your news! Send pictures, call<br />

and check in, forward emails... Sometimes<br />

no news is good news but this involves<br />

<strong>Lockwood</strong> worldwide! Steve Shubnell<br />

joins me this month on putting this<br />

publication out. We hope you will enjoy it<br />

and give us feedback and ideas. This is<br />

about and for ALL of <strong>Lockwood</strong>- we want to<br />

involve everyone and have everyone<br />

involved.<br />

EDMONTON<br />

BRANCH SPOTLIGHT-<br />

<strong>Edmonton</strong> - Capital of the Canadian province of <strong>Alberta</strong>. <strong>Lockwood</strong> first opened shop in 1999 with the help<br />

of Giovanni Capasso (now operating our Milan, Italy office). In Jan. 2002 we relocated to the Sherwood<br />

Park office. We handled such projects as NovaE3, Shell Athabasca, Syncrude UE1, and Opti/Nexen. Cam<br />

Wowk manages <strong>Edmonton</strong> where twenty five people currently work (and continue to grow).<br />

A proud moment recently when The RC MP (The Royal Canadian Mounted Police) Dog Unit asked about<br />

using our facility for training purposes. They will begin using the facility in 3/2008. A sign will be posted<br />

onsite saying <strong>Lockwood</strong> is an official training facility. They will use our warehouse, tent and fenced area for<br />

their dog training a couple of times a month. (Send us pictures <strong>Edmonton</strong>!).<br />

The facility has 75,000 sq. ft. of office and warehouse space to house our HUGE IN-STOCK INVENTORY,<br />

plus an additional 24,000 sq. ft. provided by the “tent”.<br />

Employees: Cam Wowk, Mike Pawlenchuk,<br />

Robbie Marler, Kathleen Corcoran, Ryker Stoehr,<br />

Gary Deeth, Linda Honch, Kim Murton, Sandy<br />

Schuett, Jade Lavallee, Ryan Hehr, Lori Ann<br />

Klingbeil, Karen Marsh, Mike Dijker, Heather<br />

Chelmick, Trevor Hale, Don Sexauer, Shaun<br />

Brown, Darren Siminiuk, Jonathan Billings, Ross<br />

Lumayko, Nick Chown, & Howard Mallory.<br />

Thank you to Roberta “Robbie” Marler for<br />

gathering information and pictures!

Letter from the President<br />

international<br />

Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong>....<br />

“Moderation? It’s mediocrity, fear and confusion in disguise.”<br />

~Dan Millman, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior<br />

“A warrior never gives up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does.”<br />

~The Peaceful Warrior<br />

“Once we know and accept what our limits are, we can go beyond them.”<br />

~Albert Einstein<br />

“To show your true ability is always, in a sense, to surpass the limits of your ability, to go<br />

a little beyond them: to dare, to seek, to invent; it is at such a moment that new talents<br />

are revealed, discovered and realized.”<br />

~Simone de Beauvoir<br />

There you have it - that is our simple quest. To evaluate and understand each of our individual<br />

strengths and weaknesses. To then provide the challenge and opportunity for each of us to seek personal<br />

growth and satisfaction in our own right. And then, finally, to combine the skill sets of our individuals<br />

into a single united front.<br />

This is the path to improve performance necessary to meet the expectation of our clients, our vendors,<br />

and ourselves.<br />

...Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />

Business Brief:<br />

We continue to experience exponential growth in all facets of our business. As a<br />

result, all branches are expanding and we are set to open several new branches<br />

globally.<br />

New Developments:<br />

We are pleased to announce the hiring of Pat Murphy to be the General Manager of<br />

our newly created Upstream Division. Pat brings 30+ years of experience and<br />

expertise in the oil & gas business to our company. We are all excited about this new<br />

business opportunity.<br />

New Branch Openings:<br />

Milan, Italy - Giovanni Capasso as General Manager to cover Southern Europe.<br />

South Africa News:<br />

<strong>Lockwood</strong> South Africa (pty) Ltd. was invited as one of “South Africa’s Top Emerging<br />

Companies”. Expansion in Johannesburg is continuing along with our office in Durban.<br />

Quality & Safety<br />

Steve Shubnell has successfully delivered Quality Training to all of Houston. Benny<br />

Howard, Quality Manager, is now providing branch training and is meeting the challenges<br />

that come with the new Quality Process. Benny states “the customer is our final<br />

inspector, so our quality must be the best”. Lisa Bollich, Quality Admin. Asst., has<br />

stepped up to the plate in her additional duties. Safety & Quality are here to stay and<br />

will remain the highest priority to <strong>Lockwood</strong> <strong>International</strong>.<br />

MRO...<br />

. <strong>Lockwood</strong> hosted the ExxonMobil QIT (Quality Improvement Team) meeting on 2/8/08. The<br />

monthly meeting is for our client, ExxonMobil and all their local vendors to discuss different operational aspects of their<br />

contract, such as delivery, receivables, etc. The companies in attendance were: BeAed, Exel, Lamons Gasket, McJunkin<br />

Redman, Motion Industries, Triplex, Inc., Wholesale Electric, and Wilson Supply. Jerry Reeves, or “Fuzzy” as he is known, of<br />

ExxonMobil attended for the last time, as he retired. Cylynne Calicutt, Assistant MRO Manager, and Judy Collier, Facilities<br />

Manager, organized the entire event and did a fabulous job according to Cindy Williams, MRO Manager. The event was a<br />

huge success and Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong> was even able to attend. Each company is allowed two attendees and the host company<br />

provides breakfast, lunch, facilities to meet (all that goes with that meeting), and giveaways. Cylynne’s group had the room<br />

ready with <strong>Lockwood</strong> coffee cups, the smartboard up and running, and praline giveaways (which were<br />

a hit!). The event went off without a hiccup considering we were originally scheduled to host the meeting<br />

until April. Our group was ready, and did a<br />

fantastic job.<br />

MRO SALES<br />

Ryan Randazzo is<br />

training with Shaun<br />

Carter in MRO Sales. Ryan<br />

transferred from Procurement<br />

and is learning the daily MRO<br />

Sales requirements. Shaun says<br />

the pace is faster and less technical<br />

so it differs from the Project<br />

Sales here at <strong>Lockwood</strong>. Lots of<br />

growth on the horizon for<br />

this department too and<br />

we’ll keep you<br />

posted.<br />

Human Resources & Payroll/Benefits<br />

Darlene Garza has taken over <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s Human Resources Department. Deya Martinez has transferred from Procurement<br />

and joined her team as Assistant and they will be responsible for all new hiring duties such as locating new quality individuals<br />

to join <strong>Lockwood</strong>'s team, but also security - employee ID badges and drug testing and eventually training. This expansion allows<br />

Margaret Graff, our Payroll & Benefits Coordinator to focus on her main duties which is payroll and looking out for us<br />

regarding our benefits. She is responsible for all of us getting paid (overnight express to branches if anyone else was wondering).<br />

Margaret can take care of you if you need to change your tax exemptions-just call and ask for a new W-4. The next benefits<br />

enrollment period will be November or December and it will be here before you know it.<br />

Left to right - Margaret Graff - Payroll & Benefits Deya Martinez<br />

and Darlene Garza<br />

the years 1979 - 1998 and see what names pop up. Next edition we’ll pick up at 1999. So, who<br />

has been here the longest? To answer that we look at payroll records beginning with 1979...<br />

Mike Owens (Warehouse Mgr.) and Rudy Zenon (Project Lead) appear to have been on payroll<br />

since 1979. Then comes Mr. George, (Tagging Technician) 1981; Joanne Thornton was first here<br />

in 1992 and rehired in 2002. June Yonkman, (Inside Sales Mgr.) began in 1994 (technical training<br />

provided by none other than Tom <strong>Lockwood</strong>), Joe Delaney, (Forged Analyst) 1997; then Mr. Lee,<br />

Crate Construction, 1997. Mr. Lee has worked with the <strong>Lockwood</strong>s since 1981 or 82 but wasn’t<br />

on payroll until 1997. Bill Licarione, MRO Sales, and Cynthia Pantoja, Executive Assistant, both<br />

hired on in 1997; and Wilma Hand (Shorts - Texas City), and Daniel Martinez, Warehouse, began<br />

in 1998. Bill Licarione states “with almost 11 years at <strong>Lockwood</strong> I’ve seen it grow from a small<br />

office and warehouse inside the loop with 13 total employees, to a world renown corporation.<br />

In the 28 years I’ve been in this industry this is the most solid company I’ve worked for.” The<br />

sentiment is unanimous-anyone who has worked at<br />

<strong>Lockwood</strong> for any length of time tells us “incredible”<br />

on <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s growth and evolution.<br />

fyi<br />

Just a reminder to check out the N drive for all kinds of helpful how-to’s<br />

on AS400 and other computer related training. Renee Roberts is still and<br />

will always be our resident AS/400 Queen.<br />

Also, we have a demonstration “movie” (very short tutorial that shows you<br />

how to perform a task) on the J drive (J:\Demonstrations). It demonstrates<br />

how to insert our brand new logos into your documents.<br />

Regarding the demo’s - audio is required and if you can’t hear anything,<br />

have your supervisor send a request to helpdesk@lockwoodint.com and<br />

we’ll get you hooked up (no pun intended) with speakers.<br />

Tenure<br />

Looking back on <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s history we delve into tenure. <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />

opened its doors in 1977 by<br />

Frank <strong>Lockwood</strong>. We look at<br />

Top: George Allen, Joann Thornton, Rudy Zenon,<br />

Bill Licarione, sitting-Mike Owens.<br />

Did you know?...<br />

Cynthia Pantoja<br />

... S.p.A. - have you seen it? What does it mean?<br />

You will see it behind OMB’s name, and others..... It is<br />

the Italian equivalent to “Incorporated” and stands<br />

for:<br />

Societa’ per Azione<br />

(Society for Share)<br />

(again, thank you Luca!)<br />

Another exciting change at <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />

is our new Marketing Department.<br />

Laura Fitzgerald heads up the team<br />

with Steve Shubnell. Our focus is commercial<br />

and technical marketing.<br />

Crazy busy (as we all are), but we’re<br />

developing some basic marketing materials<br />

such as product line sheets, reference<br />

list, and leave-behinds for our<br />

sales force. Koleta Parsley is working<br />

closely with the team coordinating<br />

print jobs and teaching us plenty. We<br />

will soon begin revamping our website<br />

(you will love the plans we have).<br />

The Valve Identification book is receiving<br />

its third remake and you will all<br />

enjoy the CAD drawings that Luca<br />

Radrizzani has helped <strong>Lockwood</strong> acquire<br />

( ).<br />

We’re getting to know the branches<br />

and appreciate the feedback and insight<br />

we’ve received. The more we<br />

know, the better we can help <strong>Lockwood</strong>.<br />

Koleta Parsley, Laura Fitzgerald, Steve Shubnell<br />

F A C I L I T I E S<br />

We visited with Judy Collier, <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s Facilities Manager to catch up on her<br />

happenings. Judy has been very busy since joining <strong>Lockwood</strong> in 2007 beginning<br />

with the big move into the new building. Now, she is concentrating on renovating<br />

Buildings A & C. Although A is finished, as Betty reported, Building C is<br />

still a couple of months away from having coffee service ordered! She will be<br />

lending her expertise traveling to other branches to implement projects and<br />

improvements.<br />

Locally, Judy has been responsible for the new security system which involved<br />

more than the obvious - picture ID badges for every employee, setting up entry<br />

credentials, passwords, etc. The great benefit of the new system is security<br />

for our people and property. Eventually, the<br />

system will allow for time tracking (YES - no<br />

more time sheets) but right now its our key to<br />

get in and our proof that we belong here (badges<br />

must be worn and visible at all times). The<br />

administration of the system will be handed over<br />

to HR once all the kinks are worked out.<br />

Furthermore, Judy has started <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s recycling<br />

program. All empty toner cartridges and<br />

aluminum cans are being collected and she is<br />

working with Furr’s High School who will use the<br />

proceeds to subsidize field trips, buy backpacks<br />

and school supplies, as well as instructional<br />

Judy Collier material not covered by the budget.<br />

John Yonkman is now in charge of Material Management and we spent a few minutes learning about his team and<br />

plans. His team consists of Aladdin Hussein, Vince Veloz, and Tony Galan.<br />

Highest priority is implementation of cycle counting which will, in theory, eliminate<br />

year-end inventory (do I hear a “YES!”). As with all change, it will take time<br />

but he has big plans and high hopes that this will bring our inventory into focus as<br />

accurate. The new system will also allow for discovery of current material handling<br />

problems to reduce risk of error. The plan is to implement in Houston and work<br />

through any problems before rolling it out to all of the branches. John is looking at<br />

all possibilities and although he may not have THE answer, he feels trying different<br />

variances will allow for THE solution to become apparent. He is calculating<br />

John Yonkman<br />

the redesign of the warehouse which, once in place, should further reduce the risk of errors.<br />

It will allow less product expertise to be expected by warehouse personnel and a<br />

more intuitive process on how to pull and track product.<br />

Our group spent a week in Palm Desert, California attending the<br />

TUG (The User Group) annual User-to-User Networking and education<br />

conference for Users of Infor Distribution Software. As<br />

you know, <strong>Lockwood</strong> uses APLUS, which is a family of Infor’s<br />

product offering. Our people came back excited and educated.<br />

Those who attended include Alan Walls (IT Manager), Renee Roberts<br />

(AS/400 Training Specialist), Donna Wells (Operations Manager),<br />

and Adam Adams (Report Specialist). Renee relays that she<br />

participated in labs, sat in on multiple training sessions and networked<br />

with many users who she will collaborate with to further<br />

help <strong>Lockwood</strong> optimize our performance. According to Alan,<br />

“this conference gave us an opportunity to participate in the improvement<br />

process of the software, learn new solutions to approach<br />

various APLUS issues; and most importantly, meet and<br />

discuss with other APLUS users about their company’s issues and<br />

solutions, as they’ve tried to improve their business. We all came<br />

back educated and inspired.”<br />

Need-to-know News<br />

Business According to June<br />

As predicted, 2008<br />

has started out with a<br />

bang!<br />

We are very excited<br />

to announce the signing<br />

of three MEGA multimillion<br />

dollar project<br />

agreements:<br />

•NCP Project in<br />

will nd exciting be a very busy a<br />

year with many challenges as we<br />

continue to grow our company.<br />

Best Regards,<br />

June Yonkman<br />

Donna Wells, Operations Manager,<br />

spent some time with us regarding the<br />

TUG Conference also (see story). She<br />

is excited about the ideas that were<br />

spurned by attending. The three big areas<br />

of most potential she saw for <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />

were: 1) upgrade of our APLUS<br />

AS/400, 2) Value Service Add-In, and 3)<br />

Max Recall. She feels we can tweak our<br />

processes and the tools we use (software)<br />

to be able to better capture our usage,<br />

which will improve overall proficiency.<br />

Procurement, Sales, and Project Coordinators<br />

would all be affected by changes,<br />

but she says “if a company isn’t changing,<br />

it isn’t growing<br />

and <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />

is definitely growing.”<br />

It’s going to<br />

take group thinking<br />

with representation<br />

from all<br />

departments but<br />

Donna Wells<br />

she feels the<br />

changes we make<br />

will benefit us all multifold in the long<br />

run.<br />

CFO<br />

We checked in with Betty Allen, Chief Financial Officer, and she gave us a<br />

synopsis of her group’s activities.<br />

The week of 3/10/08 marked the completion of the renovations of Building A<br />

according to Betty Allen. “The furniture is in and coffee service ordered”.<br />

(Nothing says “ready for business” like ordering coffee service).<br />

The new space accommodates a shipping office, a dedicated room for the tag<br />

machines, a much needed inspector’s office, and of course renovation of the<br />

restrooms and kitchen, as well as locker room expansion.<br />

The completion of Building A means Building B<br />

renovations are in progress. (We’ll keep you posted).<br />

As for the new facility of Building C, Ms. Betty says<br />

there are still finishing touches, such as artwork, etc. but<br />

the major issues have been resolved (such as ventilation<br />

for the server room).<br />

Ms. Allen is also trying to better our crew. She is<br />

responsible for providing a training program for key staff<br />

Betty Allen<br />

members entitled “Bullets for Managers” which was<br />

presented 3/20/08.<br />

Great things on the horizon this year; it’s<br />

starting off with a bang. First of all, the<br />

Procurement Department has evolved for<br />

two ladies to take the helm. Amanda<br />

Marksberry (Purchasing Manager) and<br />

Cassie Pedigo (Sourcing Manager) are extremely<br />

excited and hopeful of being a<br />

great “source” for our Sales Department, so<br />

that <strong>Lockwood</strong> can increase our presence in<br />

the industry and take us to that next level.<br />

They have a great team which includes<br />

Brian Nelson, who is our Ball Valve Sourcing<br />

Specialist and has just completed our<br />

new pricing list for TY. Thanks Brian....we<br />

really appreciate the updated information.<br />

While Ryan Randazzo has transferred to<br />

MRO, the group has gained a few new faces<br />

such as David Castillo, Janet Anderson and<br />

Sharon Montague. David is sourcing our<br />

bronze and iron, while Janet is working with<br />

Pam Moore, Brian Nelson<br />

Stephanie Nesbitt as our Cast Steel Purchasing Assistant. Sharon performs Receiving. Wow. This<br />

group is growing by leaps and bounds and there are still a couple more positions that need to be<br />

filled, currently “TBD” (to be determined) status. <strong>Lockwood</strong> is doing more than keeping up with the<br />

Jones’...we’re setting the standard!<br />
