Tool Room Scoreboards and More!
By Tom Fredricks
The current scoreboard measurement for the Tool Rooms is quantity of tooling produced. By focusing on tooling numbers, we are doing our best to ensure tooling is always ready and available for header repairs. This allows for the quickest return of the tooling to the header when something breaks. That creates less downtime due to tooling on the headers which means more parts produced and more money coming in to Fastco. We as a team are very excited about the changes being made within the organization of Fastco and are very excited to see how this will affect the upcoming year.
One of the biggest challenges we face as a department is working through some of the more problematic or complicated jobs on the header floor with header personnel and engineering. This often times requires tooling changes. There has been a great deal of teamwork between departments to help achieve the targeted results necessary. These are very exciting times at Fastco and we are excited to be a part of it.
