How could the plant do a better job of performing while
transforming? (Common
Themes)
Improved
scheduling
- Keep
a better eye on scheduling of machines, still a lot
of unnecessary rinse ups due to poor schedules.
- Honestly,
the best way, but the way that would never fly with
the people, would be to get the whole plant on one
work schedule so everyone can be working on the same
page.
Accountability/flexibility
- By holding
more people accountable (especially salaried, but
hourly included) to do things right and in a cost
efficient manner. I am happy that I have a job in
such a good company. I am sick of all the whiners.
Can we tell them to keep it to themselves or go somewhere
else?
- People
need to be more flexible and always focus on what
is important to help us transform. Don't do the "wrong"
things just because it is what you are used to doing.
Keep challenging!!!
If
you could ask the plant manager one question, what would
it be? (Common
Themes)
Thanks
and appreciation
- No question—just
wanted to say that I totally respect you for the job
you are doing—it can't possibly be easy to keep
everyone happy.
- I have
nothing but respect for you. You still make me nervous
whenever you are around and I still somewhat fear
you. But, you are the best manager/leader ever! Thanks!
Workload
- In the
midst of all the work that is on-going, there seems
to be no cognizence (sic) of workload. We don't seem
to reduce any new tasks either, irregardless. Why?
- How can
you try to keep the crewing level back up?
