TOY LAND PRODUCTIONS
Issue 6123-Volume #50
October 18, 20--
Production Levels
In this issue of Toy Land Productions we
will address the matter of production levels. Production
levels have dropped dramatically over the past two weeks. This
is a great concern to the supervisor, as we only have nine days left before
the big shipment for the new store in Paris leaves the plant. The
wooden cars, which have been taking only 30 minutes to produce in the past,
are now taking 45 minutes. Flor
supervisors, also known as The Money Guys, have tested the temperature on the
production floor during the past week. It
seems that no matter the temperature, the production level does not increase.
The human-resources department is
currently conducting a survey to get to the bottom of this issue.
Please check in your mailbox in the
employe lounge and complete your survey. It
is vital that all surveys be returned to the suggestion box in the lounge
before Wednesday at noon. Any
production floor employee not turning in their survey will not be allowed to
attend the company trip to Atlantic Beach on Saturday.
Quality Control Issues
Looking at the quality result surveys from last year, toy quality standards
are at an all time high. We have had less than two-percent
of delivered toys to have any reported problms. The
problems turned in from Hawaii seem to be related with a moisture issue from
delivery plane. The plane has since been insulated so
extreme temperature changes from the Alaska Plant to the hotter climates (look
for the rest of this paragraph in your workbook and key it)

Looking
to the Future
Looking towards this year, the
goal for quality control is one and a half percent. If
all employees work at top production levels and keep the “Take Two for
Quality” motto in mind, this goal should again become a reality.
The Big Guy is going to
be calling up the top one-percent of all employees to be trained as quality
control supervisors. These
employees will be released from all production-floor duties.
Training will take place
at the Development Center located at Salter Path, North Carolina.
Lanning says this move
should make sure that all toys leaving the plant are of the highest quality.
