The Production Department has added a third production shift to meet increased sales. The new shift will be
staffed mostly of new employees whose training consists of two weeks working with the dayshift. Adding the
third shift also increases equipment operating hours by 50%

The Maintenance Department has assumed responsibility for the maintenance of the equipment in a small

different from the company's existing equipment
A custom-made production machine, critical to meeting production requirements, has failed for the third time
in six months , The Maintenance Department has carefully inspected the machine after each failure, and each
failure has been attributed to a loss of lubrication of the machine's bearing

Corporate downsizing has reduced the staff of the Maintenance Department to two reliability technicians and
two supervisors for each craft (trade). These foremen will now manage contracted maintenance crews for all
plant (facility) maintenance activities
