IMHO they are as frightened as anyone of looking to be below par and turning in less than acceptable figures even though the targets set are totally unrealistic. I can't understand the mentality of people who accept what is patently unachievable and try to foist it on staff who know what will and will not work - and in truth they know themselves it won't work but cannot say no.Big Daz wrote:Under the NCI procedure managers are supossed to help you get up to standard if you cant manage.
Lets not forget that there is a performance aggrement of 25 letters in a minute for RM 2000 frames and standards for IPS as well, the only problem is that aggrement was never put to a vote of the members as far as I know.
As has been proven on this site there are different standards all over the country illustated perfectly by the fact that machester have to meet a target of 16 on a RM2000 prep frame whilst down in my neck of the woods its only 11. Could it be that the 11 is reasonable and the 16 isnt or perhaps you feel the 11 is not a realistic figure either.
16 in my view is off the scale and not acheivable, 99% at least in my office could not meet that figure. However that 99% figure drops a fair bit when you use 11 as the target.
Come on boys and girls what is a realistic figure on a prep test that you could accept and do you know what rate you are working at?
Have you ever had the one min test did you make the 25 letters in a min target that CWU and RML agreed on a few years ago.
Do you agree with the 25 figure or do you thinks its too high.
Plenty has been said about what is not achiveable but what is achiveable, there must be some figures that all the various posters on RMC can agree on?
