Question

Question 10 / 13 Indicate the response that best describes what you would do in the situation. Currently, your work unit is having a hard time reaching the production quota due to an increased demand in your company's product. At the same time, you have been given the opportunity to sign up for a new training course that could improve your ability to meet future production goals. What should you do? Inform your supervisor of your production quota and make the case that in order to hit your goal you would prefer to stay focused on production. Look for ways to keep up with production while you attend the training. Postpone this training opportunity until later so you can to meet the production goals. Ask your supervisor if you can attend the training session when things slow down.

Answer 1

Question 10. Look for ways to keep up with the production while you attend the training.

I will keep up with the production while attending the training as both activities are important. Keeping up with the production is the immediate goal and training will give long-term benefits. Other options are not advisable, as only focusing on current production may impact long term production goals. At the same time, attending the training will result in falling behind of the current production target.

Question 12. Think of other ways to move the equipment.

In case the operator is on vacation, I will think of other ways to move the equipment. I will not ask other group members to carry the equipment as they may be busy in their own activities. I will not run the machinery myself at the risk of causing injury or damage to the equipment. Telling engineering that the operator is on vacation is also not an option.
