[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 604191, member: 14596"] The problem is determining what is an acceptable number of misloads. You show the example of 10 per month. What about preloaders who do more like 10 per week, and some, on occasion, closer to 10 per day. I am in a preload operation, having rotated out of IE. I can tell you, management here way back when started a kinder gentler aproach to misloads and did not come down heavy on people with just a few. The problem was, when the acceptable number moved away from zero, it continued to slide. When zero was the only acceptable number, the operation had maybe 10 a day. Over time, the one or two, or even 10 a month approach has put people into a relaxed attitude regarding misloads, and the 10 or so as grown to 30, 40 or more in the operation every day. There are so many posts on this board from every type of operation asking why management in this company is so hard ass-ed about nit piky details and minute changes in performance numbers. The reason is simple, it gets results. Believe me, I started in my new role determined to be the nice guy, determined to prove that I could get better results from employees by staying possitive, laying out the expectations for performance and spending the extra time to train and explain when people had trouble, not go directly, or really ever, to the hammer. What I am learning so far, is it is the hammer, and in this organization, only the hammer, that tends to get results. I still hold out hope that I am wrong on this, but it sure is not looking good so far... [/QUOTE]
