Output from The Big Push visible in pipeline
The Big Push ended in late May, but the extra products resulting from that work in manufacturing have been working their way through the system. A large wave of products has been keeping the Packaging Department hopping for the past couple weeks. Extra processing lines have been set up to handle the extra volume of product, and other departments loaned workers to pitch in. We thought we’d show you what that volume of product looks like, creating a towering maze of bins and trays. Take a look at the slideshow.
Packaging Department feeling The Push
From Packaging, products are gradually moving to Post-Sterilization in Ellettsville, as these photos below show.
From there, product moves on to the North American Distribution Center. We’ll send you updates in the coming weeks.
It will be a while yet before the product appears in the field, and this doesn’t completely resolve the backorder situation, but it’s nice to see that we are making a dent in it. Thanks to all these post-manufacturing departments for handling the heavy load.
Really appreciate the long hours, week after week, and the dedication. It is inspiring
We in production are tired, but more than that, we in production are determined! Determined to get our hand crafted, quality products to our sales team, so that in turn we together can get those products to that grandparent, parent, child, that significant other, or even a loved one. We will do this! We will do this because we are COOK, and at COOK we care about our patients…
Preparing for push number two!
Thanks for keeping us posted Pete.
Seeing these efforts to solving the back orders give us more energy in the field, thanks.
Thanks for keeping us posted Pete. This summer could be different memory to those busy folks. We cannot fulfill our commitment to the patients without everyone’s contribution. Feeling proud to be part of Cook family.
Looks like Christmas in August! WOW! People have been busy in so many departments! Appreciate the update Pete!
Thanks for your dedication!
Improvise, Adapt and Overcome
Great work from Production and Packaging. It’s been a privilege working at Cook and being part of such a great team.

I wish us ‘office folks’ could come out there and help out like we could in the past. I’m sure there are people out there tired of overtime! Just know your efforts are highly appreciated!!
Cook’s history is filled with these kinds of “We’re all in this together” moments like this. It’s what makes the company great and keeps us focused on serving our patients first and foremost. We couldn’t succeed without everyone’s contributions!
Having just walk through there today it is unreal. Thanks to all the busy bee’s working extra shifts to get us back to “normal Cook”! Chuck PI rep
Happy to be a part of the Cook family!
Thanks for the update Pete, we’re holding our own out here and grateful for all you folks doing your best to get us through this.
All this started from that tiny apartment?……
Amazing.
Wow! Some folks have been very busy.
