Furthermore, it indicates that lack of performance incentives shows weak organizational objectives, behaviors, structural arrangement (Gabris & Giles, 1983). The importance of performance incentives have a dramatic influence on an organization yet it so simple that it may be dismissed.
The spaghetti diagram data complements the findings of the work sampling. In general, fabrication operators travel more than operators in other departments. This generalization is a result of several factors such as, the machines they need to use are not all located within their department, they have to collect their material off the racks, and the wash area is not easily accessible. However, based on the spaghetti diagram of each operator, it can be seen that there is one operator in the fabrication area that travels the most distance during his daily tasks. For this reason, it would be beneficial to move that operator from their current work are to the location that is closer to the fabrication area with the rest of the operators. This would reduce the travel distance to the inventory racks, tools, and the wash area. Additionally, it would also be ideal to move some machines closer to the fabrication operators, however, some machines are constrained by their wall hookups or the cost that would be incurred to move
Detroit’s production is unique when compared to other Wriston plants. Runs are typically low volume, involve higher set up time than run time and vary significantly due to the sheer volume of different product lines, families and models. Traditionally Capital investment has lagged in Detroit and the equipment is out dated and inefficient resulting in higher maintenance costs. Built in an ad-hoc manner, the layout of the Detroit plant is piecemeal; production typically required complex flows. Thus, the environment has contributed to poorly motivated workforce. Bad labor habits are rampant including high absenteeism on weekdays and high turnover.
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company specializes in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of tires worldwide. Founded in 1898, the company primarily sells passenger, light truck, and highway trucks tires for the original equipment tire and the replacement tire market. Goodyear operates 7 rubber plantations and 44 tire product plants in 28 countries. Unfortunately, the tire company loss 3.2% market share between 1987 and 1991. Sears, Roebuck and company proposed an option to sell the Goodyear’s Eagle brand in their stores. Since the 1920s, the company has not offered its tires to mass-merchandise chain stores.

The field of ergonomics stresses the idea of designing the perfect product for people so that whenever the people interact with the product, they are having a beneficial experience and their health and safety is protected by the shape and design of the product. Not only is ergonomics focused on protecting the body, it is also focused on protecting the cognitive abilities (the mind). Therefore, companies should all have ergonomic or human factor departments within their organizations so that the products that they manufacture can have a design that is safe for both the body and mind. This will make their products much more desirable and their companies more competitive in the overall market. Ergonomics has also been proven to increase user satisfaction and reduce insurance claims in work-related injuries. There is a general reduction in work-related injuries because the products being used by employees are safer and healthier. They do not risk that physical health of the employee like regular products might. With ergonomic products, workers are also more productive, efficient, and overall happier when using them.

The company is also faced with a 20% reject rate that is absolutely unacceptable. A lot of the produced boards go to waste, and a lot of resources are compromised. Moreover, it contributes to the manufacturing strain, as the production team must start with at least 20% more than the required output just to give allowances to the defects. CBF, Inc. should implement a more rigid supervising/monitoring program with the manufacturing processes in order to pinpoint and arrest the cause of these defects.
"A simple thing such as giving a employee a little reward for outstanding performance for a month or a year could help motivate other employees to want to do better so that they could have the chance to be recognized for their outstanding work.
But the problem is the lack of suitability of Indian roads. The threat from the cheap tires from Chinese companies is also looming large (Singh, 2016). The price volatility regarding the raw materials is also an issue that has to be dealt with. For this the tire company can develop good understanding of Indian roads to improve the quality of radial tires. The second risk factor of cheap tires can be addressed by convincing customers about the quality of company tires as well as establishing a value chain network of buyers and suppliers. To deal with the price volatility, company must predict correctly the purchase requirement of raw material.
