Group Leader 1:1s Tom - Manufacturing 1:1 What does your team think is causing the problems? they change the tool set up to "run their experiments" but never change them back - if they don't break them they are causing the down time doing things that haven't been done - it's risky and it cuts into our manufacturing time when they're done "running their experiments or as we say "breaking the tools" we get blamed for the repair costs we won't be able to meet our production goals if we have to keep sharing the tools with the R&D team *Tom's worried about management's perception of his team / him - wants this fixed ASAP. Melissa R&D 1:1 What does your team think is causing the problems? the manufacturing technicians don't realize that we are trying to develop new products they don't understand that without us, we won't have new products to sell they are only worried about hitting their numbers they don't appreciate that we have to meet our goals for future revenue - and keep our jobs * Melissa was clearly frustrated and is willing to help solve the problems to get her team back on track
