| Greetings! |
Several days ago I spoke with an old friend in the nonwovens business. He mentioned that their maintenance department had been cut from five people to one. Perhaps, to some degree, you have a similar situation. Are you overwhelmed by what you are not able to accomplish?
The current test of our management ability is how to meet the needs of production with dwindling resources. Everything has to be prioritized, and as customer needs shift, priorities constantly change. We are all in this boat until the economy improves.
More than ever we need to communicate with our employees. Make sure they receive clear instruction. Understand their fears of job elimination. Keep them up to date on what is transpiring in your company Don't leave them in the dark. People pull together when they know you care.
Have a great week.
