Another plant closing due to mismanagement. The only time our shop made money was in 2012 when they hired a true professional as the director of operations. The upper management decided to fire this man and revert all of the positive changes and ideas back to the old way of the buddy system and waste. We sat on a gold mine with superior yield and was completely self sufficient by building our own components. Once the building of the parts went to Mexico and The director was fired, then all of the improvements we all participated in went by the wayside and old methods (proven not to work) came back into play. Two years passed with upper management knowing full well there were severe problems with both management and the outsourcing and did absolutely nothing about it. The futures of many hundreds of dedicated employee are gone and the people who tried to make this work are the ones who are paying the price.
