THE HUMAN SIDE

As the functional organization gives way to cellular work centers on the shop floor and support departments become multi-disciplined, the human side of the enterprise takes on a new dimension. A partnership environment is fast replacing the traditional approaches to motivation and control, to union and management prerogatives and to compensation and benefits. Labor union preference for work rule preservation has faded in favor of job security through the financial success of the manufacturer.

Motivation is now accomplished through peer
collaboration in teams to achieve measurable results.

Compensation is now informed by the traditional "fair days pay" but with the added incentive of gain sharing for measurable increases in throughput and productivity.

Our human side assistance is centered on:

Establishment and facilitation of self directed teams on the shop floor;
Establishment and facilitation of multi-functional teams in the support areas;
Development of process and results metrics to measure performance and success;
Developing gain-sharing schemes to compensate workers for measured improvements; and
Reorganization and re-orientation of the shop floor supervisory force.

Recognition of the new realities of productivity through participation and motivation through self-direction in the workplace are becoming a competitive edge in the market place.
