Flexibility: Leadership
Messages
People carry many
myths about production, such as “There’s really no way to have any
flexibility on the line.” One of the things that appeals to our
leadership about this new flexibility initiative is that it is built
around a very flexible process. It doesn’t exclude a lot of positions
or people from participation. What it does do is set a good high bar on
improved productivity that needs to be identified in good
proposals.
We are encouraging our managers and our people to focus on what’s
desirable and possible – and to collaborate so they can achieve those
things. We have already seen individual proposals from some of our
“office jobs” get approved and we have had line supervisors say
“yes” to unusual scheduling arrangements. As we strengthen this
approach, we believe that Our Company will benefit from the reputation
of being a flexible place to work. |
