Siemens,
Siemens,
How do you expect your workers to complete their jobs without supplying them with the tools they need?
During Orientation, you told all your assemblymen that they do not need to buy any tools and that everything would be provided.
Unfortunately, you also have a problem with employees losing, misplacing tools on trains, or taking tools and not returning them back. These careless workers are ruining things for the rest of your employees, especially new hirees.
Seriously, how difficult is it to set a loaner tool system in place within your tool crib? Have new employees sign a contract of accountability for a set of tools that's issued out during the day or week.
These tools should be marked through serial numbers to prevent others from stealing them. At the end of the day, employees will inventory everything and return them back to the tool crib to ensure nothing is missing.
In the begining, make this process as strict as possible. If employees lose their loaner tools then, money will come out of their own paycheck to replace them.
After their probation period and they become permanent employees, then these tools could become theirs to keep once they've learned how to keep track of their own tools.
Currently, a serious issue that delays production are employees taking each other's tools without asking or returning them.
Train parts and work orders are so disorganized that people have to scramble trying to order parts last minute to finish your products out on time.
Also, how do you expect everyone to maintain social distancing when all the restroom stalls are occupied and workers are farting in each other's faces.
Don't cave into the demands of your customers and try to increase production by putting your worker's safety at risk. They should understand that work will be slow due to COVID19. Your workers can't be expected to wear face masks and breathe properly during long periods, especially when they are working in hot welding conditions or other intense laborous activities.
If your shareholders saw what was going on behind the scenes, they might have sold their stocks a long time ago.
It's not too late to change Siemens. You can all still lead the way and set an example for others to follow, especially once a national high speed railway system is established. Then you'll be able to obtain contracts for super fast bullet trains that can go over 250 miles per hour all across the United States.
