- Safey and Preventative maintenance are always my main priority. Main goal being for everything to work safely and efficiently . Trying to work within the budget and always save money by comparing parts , labor , scheduled timeframe and to get more production. My grandfather said even a Swiss watch can be improved if you don't see a way to improve What you're working on then you're not paying attention. Just as important as all of these things Is to take time To get to know the people working for you . Always be sure they're learning the right way to do things. Retraining a person is damn near impossible. When you are learning something...always be honest let it be known that you don't know. "If your pride is the reason I lose money son .... well imma kick you dead in your *$$"
