Commitment to Employees
In the words of one company executive, "Workers excel here because they are allowed to fail." Managers at all levels encourage their employees to try out their new ideas. Sometimes the ideas work out, sometimes they don't. But this freedom to try helps gives the company one of the most creative, get-it-done work forces in the world. The lean management supports strong employee relations. Workers know if they have a suggestion, their idea won't get buried in bureaucracy. When a complaint does come up, The company has a straightforward way of handling it: The company allows any employee to ask for a review of the complaint if he or she feels the supervisor has not provided a fair hearing. The employee can move the appeal quickly to the general manager and then to the corporate office for consideration.
Employee Compensation
Employees involved directly in manufacturing are paid weekly bonuses based on the production of their work groups. Most employees are covered under this system. Typically, these bonuses are based upon anticipated production time or product produced, depending upon the type of facility. The formulas are non-discretionary, based upon established production goals. This plan creates peer pressure for everyone to perform well and, in some facilities, is tied to on-time attendance. No bonus is paid if equipment is not operating, creating strong emphasis on maintaining equipment in top operational condition at all times. Maintenance personnel are assigned to each shift, and they participate in the bonus along with the other bonus groups. Production supervisors are part of the bonus group and receive the same bonus as the employees they supervise. The bonus can average 80-170 percent of the base wage and has no set limit.
In addition to these established bonus plans, the company has periodically issued an extraordinary bonus to all employees, except officers, in years of particularly strong company performance. This bonus has been as high as $2000 for each employee.
Teamwork
Eliminating the distinctions between management and hourly employees as much as possible serves us well. The company employees respond positively to production incentives. In return, the company remains committed to not laying off employees in slow periods. Since its entry into the steel-making business, the company has not laid off a single worker due to lack of work. The result is a committed team of employees and high-quality products. They build quality into its processes through continuous improvement, innovation, consistent investment in modern equipment, customer focus, and a diligent commitment to safety.
