Re: Lanier 528, quality when scanning
Nope, not part of the SOP at my shop. Should be, but not my decision. There are a lot of things we could do better, but the manager does not welcome suggestions from us. She feels she is doing a fine job all on her own. She has a unique style of managing. She has to be involved in everything, but is never responsible when things go wrong.An example would be this...
We have contracts with a two well known manufacturing outfits. They both require techs to be "certified" in the safety course they provide, background checks and drug test. Have to re-certify every 6 months. If you let it lapse, you have to do the drug test and background check again. Well nobody keeps up with it, and every 6 months the techs have a call and can't get in because they are expired. This doesn't concern me, as I am the only one who doesn't go to these places. In the past I had suggested putting up a chart with everyone and the things that have to be renewed, like the factory certs or vehicle inspections and license plates. I was told it was not necessary, as they have it handled.This past week it was a repeat of before, they had a call and all of the techs were expired. I know several times the boss has had to pay fines for trucks not getting inspected in time. Well I heard the manager telling the owner that the techs CHOSE to let their certs expire, as though they did it on purpose. I keep up with my own pass to get on base. When I am a few days away from expiring the solider checking it will let me know. I get a pass every 60 days. They do background checks on site and I can get my pass within 30 minutes. In the 16 years I have been there we have had 3 meetings and they all were just ass chewing us because someone took parts off of showroom machines.
