Subject: Dishing out Work
This is a bad habit whereby the person reviewing new work enters the work group and supervisor, changes status to approved, and routes it to the craft supervisor. The supervisor upon review immediately makes assignment to a specific craft person. In his mind he has performed "scheduling" by leveling work (in his head) and matching up work scope to skill set. At this point, the total responsibility for performing the job lies with the craft person. In most cases this action also bypasses the planning process. Once the work is "dished out", management has lost complete control. There is no real guarantee the work will get done that day or two weeks later. The work orders can also get lost or misplaced. And this person could go on vacation for 2 weeks. Lastly, it becomes very difficult for management (or planning staff) to then create a weekly schedule.
