This Is a War ~f Production
The United Stakes is supplying an army of over 11,000,000 and providing
war goods also to our allies. Ii is not just a question of supplies for a
newsoldier-theremustbeaconstantstreamofwargoods, of food, ofclothing
to replace what is lost or used up.
German equipment is well-made. It takes much good equipment for our
troops who encounter German troops.
More and more equipment is needed in the Pacific.
As production needs mount, production problems become more difficult
Experienced men are being drained out of war plants. The production
experience and the ability of new people who come into plants now are con-
stantly lower. And this will get worse.
Training must therefore be better-it must fit these people into pro-
ducticn quickly so that the stream of quality war goods does riot slow down.
Why Training is Vital to Every Supervisor and Experiemed
Distribute aproblemsheetto each member, and give a short explanation
of its purpose, i. e. :
- A quick neans to visualize just where training can help rem-
edy common shop problems.
- Not trying to explore every possible situation where training
can be helpful. We will look at a. sma.11 sample of current prob-
lems. Maybe r,o one has of those shown on the list. Maybe he
has others not listed here. For now, let us thin!: a l ittle about
those listed.
- Some of the items are beyond the control of the individual mem-
bers; others aredirectlyin their control. Who is responsible is
not the question. Wheretraini.ng canhelp is the ONLYpurposenow.
Read each problem under "Production" and ask members to put a check
mark against any they have.
- Then ask the group how many item have been checked. Get actual
replies from, perhaps, 4 or 5 members.
