Assembly line work can be monotonous and boring, and for business owners, this can mean low productivity. With low productivity, comes less profit. Investing in morale boosting incentives and activities for the assembly line workers can have a positive effect on production, and through a higher production rate, create more profit. Increasing morale is also a great way of showing appreciation for the workers and keeping a high quality of life for all those involved.
Instructions
1.Cross-train assembly line workers to make sure their responsibilities are varied and, therefore, less mundane. Train different members of the line to be able to perform multiple functions, with the workers switching spots on the line every 3 to 4 months.
2.Keep the work area clean and free of debris. Organize all break areas and work stations so they are uncluttered, with a specific place for every tool or piece of equipment. Make sure the parking lot is also well maintained for easy driving and parking with no fear of security or broken gravel with pot holes.
3.Provide flexible schedules to assembly line workers to be sure they feel relaxed during their work week and to give them the ability to change their shifts with other workers. Stress the idea that it is okay for workers to have their shifts worked by other employees if they need time to care of personal business.
