Exercise 7.1
Subject: Suggestion System (SS)
I want to introduce you to the Suggestion System (SS). This program enables the production worker to offer ideas about improving his job description, working conditions, and general company procedures. The plan can operate as a finely tuned machine, with great ideas as its product.
Operation will begin November 1. Once a week, a designate of SS will collect the ideas and turn them over to the SS Committee. This committee will evaluate and judge the proposed changes.
Only employees listed as factory workers are eligible. This excludes foremen and the rest of supervisory personnel. Awards are as follows:
1. $50 award will be given to those ideas judged operational. These are awarded monthly.
2. There will be grand prizes given for the best suggestions over a six-month span.
Ideas are judged on feasibility, originality, operational simplicity, and degree of benefit to the worker and company. Evaluation made by the SS Committee is final. Your questions should be channeled to my office.
