Pros

Time off from work

Cleanroom and safe work environments

Some cooperation among harder workers

Technology-based tools

Cons

Too fast-paced manufacturing facility leading to stress. Wrong changes occur too frequently. Poor labor mix, with management playing status quo. Poor decision-making by senior management. Severe control bottlenecks hinder work throughput. Must use aggressive tactics to get jobs done.

Advice to Management

More doing than having to report out in meetings. Let staff get the job done. Don't sweat the small stuff. Think and decide in the present. Many plans are too far-fetched in advance and cause havoc on present good procedures. Prior preparation prevents piss-poor planning!
