Dear
Mr.Patil
(EWAC
Shop-Rep.)
Gradually withdrawing
Shop-Supervisor from non-technical supervision
We had
discussed this matter at our tea-meeting few days back when you said it was
possible for your group of 6/7 workmen to carry-out
"targeted-production" independently with minimum need for
administrative type of supervision.
Subsequently
I had mentioned this to Mr. Ismail (Production Manager), who welcomed the idea
as it would free the concerned supervisor to spend time on technical matters.
If both, you and MI feel that the experiment has led to mature responsible
behaviour on part of the group, I would like you to narrate your experience to
the next Powai Level Productivity meeting.
Regards
H.C.PAREKH
