Diversity cannot exist in a complex manufacturing plant

lol they put a fricking crazy person in charge of nuclear waste because he liked to tuck his dick and pretend he was a girl. Know why?

For diversity

But you think they'll stop at plants? Lll ok man

hire an entry level class of 20 operators. They will be in all shapes and sizes, with varied educational background.

Do you even Mamou bro? Which proves your point.

Other than the fact that diversity does indeed exist you would be 100% correct that diversity can't exist. In your scenario there are ALWAYS going to be differences (diversity) among individuals. They will handle stress differently. They will make decisions in different ways. They will take it information in different ways and they will process information differently. There will a wide margin of buy in based on individual experience. Identical machines designed and built to the exact specifications using the same materials operating in identical environments and performing identical tasks will perform differently. Diversity is a fact of life. Developing processes that mitigate risk as you describe is at its foundation necessary because diversity exists in people and machines. Diversity certainly exists in the most complex manufacturing facility, thus the need to control processes.

Every human being breaths. There is no diversity in the requirement that we breath. Everyone does it differently, there is diversity in the way people breath. Its an established process that every one buys into without thinking....yet the manner in which we achieve it is as varied as individuals are. There is no diversity in processes in a complex environment, there are as many ways to complete those processes as there are people, the same as the most complex yet basic process humans undertake, breathing.

Shut the frick up you idiot.

Robots are the least diverse of all

I worked for a company that had its largest plant in Des Moines, Iowa. The plant went on strike in the late '90s...so the management hired immigrants from Eastern Europe and Africa who were placed by the Catholic Church in the area. These were people who spoke very little English.

In the first 2 months, production was horrible and quality was the worst. After about 3-4 months, their production was higher and quality better than the Union workforce that had been operating the plant for the prior 25 years. It was over a year before the strike was settled...then they cast out the replacement workers and went back to their mediocre production performance.

It's called Statistical Process Control and it's like religion in Japanese manufacturing, even though it was invented by an American.
Japan doesn't have to deal with most of the social and political issues that U.S. manufacturing does.
Lucky them.

Schewart came up with the concept, Demming took it to the Japanese...but they were the ones who fully embraced process control and streamlining into their overall manufacturing culture. I've seen it work in US plants...but it is rare. Most give it lip service for a few years by half-assing implementation, then they give up saying that it isn't worth the effort.

I was a supervisor in a Japanese polymer plant in the mid 90’s. We enrolled a large demographic cross section of prospective employees into a training program for operators with the initial understanding they would have to meet minimum standards for understanding basic plant operations and even 5th grade math. After a few weeks, it became very apparent that the majority of the folks were not going to meet the standards except for the white males.

Our management came in and said we would waive the standards and would have to hire from the group. In addition, we would have to hire to match the community demographics (40% female, 20 % black). Another area of the plant got first choice and picked the best of the class. I was stuck picking the rest.

I was forced to pick a woman that had worked for 20 years cutting hair and decided she wanted to be a chemical plant operator. I had to pair her with my best operator to keep the line running. I soon found out she was spending more time socializing (like the beauty shop) than working. I had to have several counseling sessions, but it was never going to work. Our HR wouldn’t let me fire her.

The problem took care of itself when she started fooling around with a married man outside of work (she was divorced with two teenagers) and the guy wouldn’t leave his wife for her. When she didn’t show up for the start of a plant shutdown, someone called her ex to go check on her. He found her in bed with a 44 to the chest. Sad for her family.

I don’t know if things would have been different if she would have stayed cutting hair. She had no business working in a chemical plant that’s for sure.

I'm normally not a grammar nazi but this one bothers me.

Please correct your work and you will still get half-credit.
