My operations manager is good at those. He's way more detailed and meticulous than I'll ever be.Did you ever nail down training/ process sheets? My first manufacturing job as an intern my main project was to make them for every process! Kept me busy for sure, but it can be 100% done by an Intern!
Hadn't thought of that; it's a great idea.Edit: Hiring for a continuous improvement position (Intern) would be great. Very common in shops I've been in. Let them be creative, do QC studies, do time studies, 5S stuff etc.. Would greatly reduce "Fires".. Increase profitability. Especially if they are rewarded once they reduce scrap, reduce time, etc..
Yep! We're still small so there's some roles like engineering where I'm the only one. Hoping to hire a few more people in a couple of months.Build your leadership team to handle this stuff!
