Cons
Too much work -in-process (WIP). WIP takes up too much space and time. Though groups are interdependent on one another, there seems to be an unhealthy competition among them for resources. There is some in - fighting. Production areas need to allow for PM work during 1st shift to predict asset failures before they happen rather than asking for maintenance during off shift and holidays. Too much overtime. Good 0le' Boy network. (Play golf and live in Appomattox.)
