Reply #43: How old is this regular joe off the street vs avg age of production wrkrs?

Work should be what the average worker is capable of doing. That means taking into consideration age, height, strength and other factors.

I don't know how strenuous the job is at your workplace or the production standards expected from the employees.

We have production daily quotas to meet. We don't work faster because of it. We work longer if mgmt determines it is necessary to meet the quota. If an employee can't complete their job because the work load is too much then it is reduced and added to someone elses job or a new job is created if there is enough to create a new job. Production requirements determine line speed and job content.

Assembly workers as a percentage of time work more than most white collar workers. We have line speed that allots .85 of a minute for each job. We have salary people that do inventory that use to be part of the worker's job. The result we have too much inventory or not enough on hand. The amount of work they produce vs the assembly workers?? At best 2 hours. We have management that appear to have dead end jobs and rarely see them out on the floor. We have management people that are suppose to take care of quality or other issues but when they are needed they don't show up.
