A521.7.4.RB - Knowledge Sharing Story There is a statement in the Bible that says “My people perish because of a lack of knowledge.” It was this lack of knowledge that was shared with the C-5 Aircraft Division that all but eliminated duplicating inspections and significantly reduced man-hours consumption. The mechanics that inspected the C-5 aircraft during regular Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) intervals were unaware that the areas being inspected were not necessary; because, those areas had previous inspection during difference time interval, at different bases. It was not the mechanics fault, as they were performing task as directed on their work cards; the work cards were issued by their supervisors and the supervisor received work
Through the progression of history the need for the principles articulated in Engineers’ Case was both necessary and appropriate. Callinan J in Workchoices’ Case made
Line chiefs were much of the time contending with each other instead of concentrating on the best enthusiasm of Macon. Each would trust the other would be the reason for venture delays as opposed to cooperating to stay away from venture defers inside and out. When dates slipped, fingers were pointed and the issue would intensify extra time. One of Macon's clients had an administration office that constantly pointed the finger at designing for the greater part of their issues. In the event that the machine was not amassed accurately, it was building's shortcoming for not archiving it plainly enough. On the off chance that a part fizzled, it was building's flaw for
Consequently, he decided to take initiative and put it to an end by declaring “to stop the motor of the world.” It was as though the company were trying to embed evil practices into the worker’s monotonous workload. Galt’s pure genius helped him devise a plan to stop these wretched procedures, and what better idea for employees to

To what extent do you agree with this description of the role of the Inspector?
This fall, a freshman approached me after cross country practice. Having never met or spoken to her before, she told me that she recognized me from the freshmen class orientation that I had led a few days earlier as a coordinator for Link Crew. She continued to thank me for organizing it and confessed that going through the program I coordinated made her feel at home at the high school, and even inspired her to go out for cross country. Comments like these are what I love and remember most about leading Link Crew, our school’s freshman mentoring program. I strive to spark a passion in those I lead, from the freshman at orientation to the tutoree struggling through math homework. Seeing a face light up with curiosity and excitement makes my
Thesis: Lack of training and communication can cause employees to make simple, but crucial mistakes that jeopardize the success of the company and its current projects.
Woodend ponders over Jane Jacob’s words, in which the author discusses that “the loss of knowledge, once vanished, is so difficult to regain” (para. 5, p. 182). Woodend uses this to suggest that it’s important for a society to safe-keep valuable skills, otherwise, the new generation will suffer with minimal knowledge and few applicable skills when faced with calamities. Reflecting on a news article written by Meeru Dhalwala, the author
When I started high school as a freshmen I was grateful that I had the presence of my brother, who was a senior, but also because I had a Link Crew Leader. Starting high school was intimidating and gave me anxiety. Although I was apprehensive, I knew I had someone who I could talk to who had already survived their first year. I had a momentous amount of respect for my Link Crew Leader, Tori. She gave me advice, tutored me, and encouraged me to come out of my shell. It was with her help that I was able to become less nervous and focus more on school and forming friendships. Tori’s guidance is what gave me the confidence to later become a Link Crew Leader and help others who were just like me.
During this time great changes were taking place in order to encourage growth of the factory industry, and a flourishing middle class. Machinery was intended to have the same effect it does today; they are used to aid workers and lessen the strain put on employees. In this aspect their introduction has been greatly beneficial. The aid that machines have given to workers come in many different forms. In many cases, repetitious acts are taken out the picture. Tedious work that once needed to be done by human employees is now a worry of the past. Actually, Blue from Vista Industrial Products Inc. (2016) claims that “when an automated machine is programmed to perform a task over and over again, the accuracy and repeatability compared to an employee is far greater” (p. 1).
“This,” Terrill announced, “is the reason for the lack of productivity in the Sales Engineering division. These are the reports your people require every month. The fact that they sat on my desk all month shows that no one reads this material. I suggest that the engineers’ time could be used in a more productive manner, and that one brief monthly report from my office will satisfy the needs of the other departments.”
Initially at Ford motors, production used to take place by keeping the vehicle at one position and making the workers move in and about gathering the several parts together. This method unfortunately was a very tedious and time-consuming process. In view of this fact, Henry Ford appointed Taylor to monitor the operations taking place. Ford applied the scientific management
This synthesised, scientifically managed workflow was meant to improve labour productivity and economic efficiency. And thirdly, rather than having machinery at the centre of the factory and workers moving to and from the product, assembly lines were used. This meant that the workers remained stationary and the product simply flowed past them (Murray, 1989). They were essentially treated as robots and dictated by machines; operating to the duplicated, repetitive tasks daily and not given the opportunity to express potential for advancement or improvement.
Within the Army organizations of today knowledge management plays a huge role in the dissemination of information to the unit and it’s soldiers. This is no different for the aviation unit in which I operate. This information can be found in FM 6-01.1, Knowledge Management Operations. It defines knowledge management as the process of enabling knowledge flow to enhance shared understanding, learning, and decision-making. But when the unit was surveyed about their understanding of knowledge management the results were surprising.
The scientific management theory have an assumption that workers are lazy, not smart in analyzing tasks, only prefers simplified work and only works for money (Miller & Form, 1964). According to Taylor (2004), workers are unable figure out the most efficient way in doing work. Therefore, they are thought as replaceable working parts like a machine in the production line and can be trained to specialize in a certain procedure in the production. They are assumed to adopt the Protestant work ethic, working for long hours and not taking any breaks. Whenever a worker or a ‘part’ failed to perform its tasks, they
