Morning Scott,
I wish I could say that I saw a solution and they implemented it. The only solution that I could see in the process would involve the bottom of the barrel employees taking responsibility for observing when the segregation of the aggregate was a problem and notifying someone who could correct it.
As we know the bottom of the barrel employees aren't hired to observe and recommend but to just keep moving.
They had improved the process a month or so prior to my visit allegedly and that should minimize but not eliminate the chances of it happening again.
I'll just have to be more involved in the buying process and check each pallet for quality product.
I have to take the adversarial position when it comes to modern business and the concept of trying to fill the bottom layers of labor with just anyone and making the machines in charge of quality control.
Now I understand that it's easier to blame labor but the reality is if the laborers don't understand the importance of quality then that's a management failure. If that level of management fails it's because the next layer of management failed. It goes that way all the way to the top of a company.
I think I'm gonna write a book on compartmentalization in society and all the ills it's caused. It'll be the ultimate finger pointing expose. Everyone will be happy. It's all someone else's fault. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
