Reporting time

Management wants to create a load board for our quality department, so that they can see what we spend our time on and if we are worth keeping around. Lol so do you guys have to do something like this? If so how do you go about reporting? They have been trying to estimate how long it will take to create a program and measure parts based on size

  • A Load Board? Last Place I worked they were trying similar micromanaging bulls_h_i_t with me. I was working 10 hour days, I would turn in a sheet that said "10 hours on everything"
    They told me if I don't start doing it, they would fire me. I leaned over and I said "go ahead, because I will not change" I'm sure they wanted to fire me, I'm sure they were looking to replace me, but they couldn't. I ended up quitting and getting this great job I'm at. The problem with this theory crap that they do is wrong. They actually waste money on a person who looks for corners to cut. Here's a suggestion, get rid of that person, you'll save some money, and a huge corner is cut. These are the same people who will say "oh this CNC machine here has a rpm gage that we can turn faster, or move faster" then tool breaks or machine screws up, then your down. Where's your corner cutter at now? He or she has gone to the next well oiled machine to see what can be cut there. Sorry I can be like Inspectorjester and offer you a similar timer for your program, after that it is not worth my time or effort.
