We are not an average company; we expect all employees to be Innovative in how they think about their job, their

team, their department, and the company.

A great example of Allegiant Innovation is Tom Saxton and his stores team implementing a new cost efficient way to transport parts across the system. It all started with a great idea and a couple of changes…

When Tom started with Allegiant as a Lead Clerk at LAS in September 2011, the parts distribution center was in Bullhead City, AZ where everything was being shipped via FedEx Express. This was an expensive option for us to move parts.

In spring of 2012, the stores team decided to move the distribution center from Bullhead City to Mesa, AZ (IWA) so they could use our co-mail system. The relocation took a couple months and by June 2012,

IWA became the new home of our stores distribution center.

We have the freedom to think outside the box, literally!

Tom and his team have not only been able to use our internal co-mail system to ship parts much more efficiently and at a lower-cost option

than using FedEx, but they figured out how to co-mail across the whole system. Now THAT’S Innovation!

By co-mailing 90% of their parts,

packaging materials, and ditching the FedEx box,the stores team really did think outside of the box! In just 9 months since this new process has been implemented, it

has saved the company over

$28,000!

Seeing such a drastic change has encouraged

Tom’s team to continue to look for new things to help the company grow and be successful. “I have seen a

lot of changes in our department in a positive

way. We are stronger than ever and I can feel the excitement within the

team,” Tom said. Tom Saxton, Stores Supervisor, and some of the IWA team at the Make-a-Wish Walk in April

Tom has used his Innovation to incorporate

our values during their team meetings. Each

month, a different Team Member researches and reports on a value, what

it means to them and how together, they can

work to incorporate that value into daily tasks and larger goals for the Stores

group.

Ultimately, they are Innovating to create a workplace they can be proud of! The IWA Stores team may have started the practice of dissecting our Values and using them as a platform to improve their workplace, but it hasn’t stopped there! This model has also been shared through our Stores locations system-wide and may even be something you might want to implement in your own workgroup.

Take your Innovation to the next level! We are

happy to introduce to you our Share InnovationProgram! If you share

your ideas with Allegiant, Allegiant will share with

you… in the form of stock shares!

We look at everything we do, and everything we don’t do, and consider why…

and that is exactly what the IWA Stores Team has done!
