Well put max. I hate to sound so negative, and only focus on the bad, but the numbers that I've posted were somewhat difficult to obtain. No one knew or cared about them at my company. I showed it to my boss and he was mildly impressed if not cynical. He didn't see the value in the reports i...
It is the owners job to manage but he funnels his critique through the shop foreman. People can pretty much decide for themselves if they come in early or late. Foreman ask can you stay late, and accepts what ever answer they give him. Most workers will only work 40 no more no less. To the point...
Automatic2, could you elaborate more about how you made a more dynamic environment? How was the behavior of the orignal team? Was the orginal shop very relaxed, and people given freedoms, where they took advantage of them, like coming in late, or not coming in at all? Or did they appreciate...
Thanks, griffengm, for adding one more consideration to this topic. I had never imagine a situation with LBR. I don't think(?) my situation will involve any outside intervention.
I hate to say it but I'll be riding the fence on this one. Not a disciplinarian, and not carefree as the wind. As I...
Everyone here has made very good points. I thank you all for your post. We can all argue for what is correct but I believe there may not be a right or a worng here.
Which ever way we decide (strict or carefree) the difference will be in execution and follow through.
I'm using RealTrac as my manufacturing software, it's report editor is ran on Combit GmbH's List & Label.
Has anyone worked with this. I'm trying to customize reports, but I'm only doing guess and check. If I could get a hold a text book, I'm sure it will help.

I think I understand what you are saying, PSE. I may keep track of some of these variables. This data could be used atmost for making decisions for SYSTEM change, or atleast just for my education. If trends are found then system changes may be considered, but not in the form of a policy...
I'm not in charge of such assignment, but if I was. How could reduce absentism, tardiness without bringing it to their attention, or writing them up? I'm not against the way things are at my job. I just want to understand how this is working. How did we get a good reputation, our operators...
I would venture to say that there is a lot of oppurtunity for improvement using stricter policies. To me holding people accountable seems likelow lying fruit. I'm trying to convince myself to looking at the system rather than the people. For example, my boss wants a TOUR ready facility. There is...
My gut feeling is that people just don't care. The "good" workers are the ones that complain about how the supervisor has no control, or that they do'nt enforce anything. They see others getting away with milking the clock, comming in late....
I would classify the machine operators as high...
I'm a manufacturing engin. for a small oil field tools manufacturer. The atmosphere here is VERY relaxed. No records are being kept on anyone’s tardiness or absences. Can anyone share their experience on a similar shop, and if this is a good way to run a plant. The system is not set-up to...
