Minpunten
Management lacks the proper knowledge of aircraft manufacturing, severely unorganized, terrible understanding of lean manufacturing and supply chain management as supplies were frequently scarce. General disrespect for American workers using their power and influence to virtually berate and demean any American employee due to the fact that they paid well. It was not an uncommon sight to witness the public scolding of an American employee in front of hundreds hanger maintenance personnel. Management refused to listen to suggestions for improvement from experienced aircraft professionals with 10 to 40 years of aircraft manufacturing experience, especially when the situation clearly displayed their inexperience. Management gives the perception of poor employee relations with a track record of firing 8 minority workers in a row between August and September of 2007, with six of the minority employees being fired for less than legitimate reasons. If you are a minority working for this company, you will be constantly watched and followed, so it would be a great idea to make sure that all of your work is completed perfectly and in line with blueprints and technical data (which was rarely provided without some sort of difficulty) for any little mistake will get you fired. If you ask any aircraft maintainer, they will tell you that it is almost impossible to work without making a mistake.
