My consulting services are based on the principles of lean manufacturing.

Anyone who has had any training in lean practice has heard of common terms such as the Five “S” and “Just in Time.” What is not discussed often enough is at the heart of leanmanufacturing principles: that it is based on healthy management and employee relations. That’s right: in order to implement real and meaningful lean principles in a company, you need to be able to communicate and trust each other (management and employees) to actually garner better results. I actually discuss and teach best practices for healthy management-employee relations as part of my consulting services. Without question, the companies with the greatest resistance to this one aspect of the lean training are the same ones who are in greater need to change and embrace better management-employee relation practices.

So what can we describe in a short article to start the conversion for what are better practices in communication and employee relations? Sometimes it is easier to describe something by showing what it is not.

Food for thought …

Great minds discuss ideas: they focus on the root cause and its effects.

Average minds discuss events: they focus only on the effects and do not understand why these effects have happened.

Small minds discuss people: they shoot the messenger and blame people, which solve nothing. … Eleanor Roosevelt Be honest with yourself and think about how others react to what you are trying to achieve when you communicate with your boss, or perhaps the people you supervise. Do you find yourself at a loss as to why people are not reacting favorably to what you are saying and doing?

If you think you do not have room for improvement, chances are, you are blind to your own actions. (Self-improvement is a lifelong endeavor!) So in order to help one understand the poor characteristics of both managers’ and employees’ communications, here are three huge red flags that are clear signs of trouble (inspired and then expounded by Inc. magazine: http://www.inc. com/will-yakowicz/real-leaders-learn-to-forgive.html ).

1. You tend to obsess over the past. Imagine a world where no one is ever willing to forgive you of either the intentional or the unintentional mistakes you have made. Imagine that, every time you speak with your boss about an idea, he or she always brings up some past mistake you made and is unwilling to discuss your new idea. Of course you are saying to yourself right now that this is simply a ridiculous and toxic environment to work in, and that you would soon look for another company to work for. Now ask yourself: How willing are you to forgive others for their transgressions? Do you as a leader focus on the person instead of the idea? A leader who focuses on the person is a leader with poor management skills, who cannot inspire and train effectively. (Why would they choose to follow you?) I myself have worked for a manager who would always remind me of my past mistakes. I truly had very little respect for him as a person.

Do you as the employee expect only others to forgive and forget, yet hold everything for a later date of redemption? This is a clear sign of immature and childish behavior.

2. You’re unable to empathize with others. If you cannot understand why people react the way they do, cannot forgive them for their actions, or simply do not understand why others do not listen to your suggestions the way you hoped they would, it may be as simple as you failing to understand them from their perspective. I have seen this far too often in managers when they do not understand why their great incentive program fails to achieve the desired results. You may be asking yourself more than once, “Why won’t employees improve or make changes when I have given them everything they need?” Do you really care about understanding things from the employee’s perspective, or is it only what you think is best? This kind of manager is surprised with the poor results. (Shocking!) The same can be said of an employee who simply does not understand why their boss asks for something the employee thinks is unreasonable or impossible.

There are reasons why the manager cannot tell you everything for the decisions and requests they make. Let us face basic facts: understanding other people’s perspectives is the first step to better communications.

3.

You suffer from envy. Are you telling yourself, “Other people have it so much better than me”? Or the

Healthy Management and Employee Relations Continued from page #3

classic, “It is just so unfair how ______” (fill in the blank)? Here is a simple fact of life that you may have never been taught, and that you really need to come to terms with: there are reasons people are paid less or more, and pay usually corresponds with less or more responsibility. For more on this from both the employee’s and the manager’s perspective, see my previous article at http://todd-drummond.com/wpcontent/uploads/2013/05/Employees_ Retention-and-Productivity.pdf Lean manufacturing culture is a healthy environment for employee and management relations. Lean manufacturing is all about team effort and implementing better practices. Do you want a really cheap and effective method for improving your net profit and/or your position within your group? Start with better managementemployee relations. Productivity will increase, costs will drop, and everyone will be better off in a better environment. I can write about what are the best practices, instead of bad practices as I have described in this article, but that is for another time.

For a listing of my other articles on best practices, see http://todd-drummond.com/newsletter/.

Layman's Lumber Guide LUMBER MARKET INTELLIGENCE

L

G L A Y M A N ' S LUMBER GUIDE

The Bi-Weekly Softwood Lumber Market Forecast & Trading Strategy Since 1985 Matt Layman, Publisher Monday December 30, 2013

What Is the Lumber Market Going to Do? Overview & Trading Strategies 2014 Lumber Market Cycle!

Isn't it just the coolest thing that we have Forecasted Decision Points to identify at a glance, "WHEN" the lumber and OSB markets will rise and peak...fall and bottom...signiHicantly reducing the stinging element of surprise?

December 21 was winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. Hammer bangin' days are now getting longer. Buyers are aggressively Hilling inventory holes, creating the holiday rally that lasts into late January. February prices ease as weather restricts jobsite activity, and buyers put away the P.O. book to reassess those new year acquisitions. Then comes Magical March... spring inventory accumulation and rising prices. April, May and June are peak demand...inventory shifts , over-­‐weighted to consumers who begin to liquidate, resulting in declining lumber and OSB prices during this peak demand. July is vacation month for producers and consumers. Inventory has shifted back to the mills meaning buyers are over-­‐liquidated. The lumber market makes its summer bottom.

August begins the new bull market cycle as buyers accumulate inventory for the "Fall Finale". November softens on year-­‐end inventory liquidation. Holidays make for a short month, stabilizing December. And there we are, right where we are today.

Each week we will consider those expectations and create our trading strategies.

Happy Trading...ml!

December Lumber Market Analysis

while illuminating, did nothing to provide foresight into how the year would end.

“Either demand will stay firm and prices will stay flat or maybe go up,” said one seasoned veteran. “Or we’re done for the year and prices will soften before January starts”.

By Keta Kosman Publisher, Madison's Lumber Reporter December 30th, 2013

To the surprise of almost everyone, followthrough from strong winter Typical hedging by a notoriously non-committal crowd! demand was enough to push up prices of dimension lumber and structural Some suggest that glowing November US housing starts panel products just in time for year end. Producers gleefully booked enough provided more certainty in the marketplace. One thing is definite: new business to extend sawmill order files into the New Year, as wholesalers the week those numbers came out lumber futures on the Chicago and distributors consistently found themselves without enough supply to serve Merchantile Exchange not only promptly reversed their usual the immediate needs of their customers. seasonal drops but actually rose sharply. Industry players could It seems that in determining volumes for their annual inventory clear-out, do nothing but go along with the wave of continued solid demand most of the North American supply chain underestimated the strength of market and keep buying. conditions as December waned.

The big question for all concerned has been: would the Cues of this development emerged in mid-December, when -- in some upward price trend of 2012 be repeated this year? The answer very unusual symmetry -- benchmark dimension lumber commodity Western has turned out to be a resounding YES. But with less volatility, Spruce-Pine-Fir KD 2x4 #2&Btr sold at the exact same level as one year ago: and coming off a higher base.

US$362 mfbm in mid-December 2012.

At the beginning of January 2012, WSPF 2x4s were selling General confusion about the true supply-demand balance, and powerful for around US$260 mfbm then followed a bumpy path generally but unspoken bullishness among lumber traders, prompted Madison’s to do an upward to around US$410 mfbm in spring 2013 before crashing additional market survey mid-month. In depth talks with several pivotal players, through the end of this summer.

The next rise in that commodity’s price started in August 2013, from a low of US$295 mfbm, to a high of US$382 mfbm in November, before correcting downward to US$362 toward the end of December. That this important item enjoyed a $10, or 2.7 per cent, increase in the last full work week of the year bodes very well for the beginning of January 2014.

In some very welcome news of industry stability labour discussions in British Columbia seem to be progressing toward resolution, in their usual labourious and complex way.

ID: C11856

Plant/Production Manager Truss My experience in the industry is extensive and includes engineering, sales, administration and production. I think it would be easier to list two job descriptions I can't claim credit for performing, with a caveat, although I never operated a component saw or worked extensively in the maintenance department I had a tremendous success improving aspects of both these areas. I was a hands on owner, even to the extent of developing a 28 hour training course in truss fabrication which potential employees had to pass. I lowered our workers comp x-mod to .58 and kept it there. I lead over 200 individuals and knew each one of them but I did have trouble with the names of their wives and children.

I coordinated efforts of every department as if from one customer to another. I read extensively and studied trends in order to develop industry best practices. Customer satisfaction, quality and safety can and must work hand in hand. It is often said, "You can only offer two of the three things customers always want";and you must choose between Price, Quality or Service. I don't believe that is a true statement and the entity which can satisfy all three? ....has everyone else wondering how they do what they do!

I put together a production team which quadrupled production. I created a saw system which could handle 5,000 boards / shift with 7-800 set-ups.(one 1 component saw) I helped develop a fully automated functioning quality control devise for roof trusses which is now patented. I overcame huge obstacles and I met with success.

But failures followed those successes I am being honest. I think my best ideas will reflect additional lessons learned following such failure. They be the ones which are suited to improve an envirionment where opportunities currently exist for significant bolstered by an awareness we should always strive for improvement. Whatever we are doing now can in whatever aspect of an operation you turn your attention to can be made better..

Safe Lifting Techniques

The back is a network of fragile ligaments, discs, and muscles which can easily be thrown out of order. The back’s complex design breaks down when it’s forced to perform activities it was not designed to do. Lifting with the back twisted or bent just begs for a pulled muscle or ruptured disc. One sure way to risk injuring the back is to lift heavy or bulky loads improperly or unassisted. Never be afraid to ask for help with loads that you know you cannot lift safely. Lift with good sense and a little extra help from a co-worker or mechanical aid when necessary.

Nunca tenga temor de pedir ayuda para levantar objetos que usted sabe que no es capaz de levantar en forma segura por sí solo. Levante los objetos pesados aplicando el buen juicio y con la ayuda de un compañero de trabajo o ayuda mecánica cuando sea necesario.

Si usted decide que es capaz de levantar una carga ligera, asegúrese de levantarla de la forma correcta.

If you decide you are capable of lifting a light load, make sure you lift correctly.

•

Move in so that your feet are close to the base of the object to be lifted.

•

Face the object squarely.

Bend your knees and squat over the item to be lifted.

In this position, the back gets added lifting strength and power from the legs and arms.

• Colóquese de manera que tenga los pies cercanos a la base del objeto a levantar.

• Sitúese directamente de cara al objeto. Doble las rodillas y haga cuclillas sobre el objeto a levantar. En esta posición, la espalda recibe la potencia de izar adicional que le brindan las piernas y los brazos.

• Colóquese cerca del objeto, porque la columna vertebral debe funcionar como una columna de apoyo, y estando cerca del objeto recibe menos esfuerzo.

•

Move up close to the item, because the backbone must act as a supporting column, and it takes the least strain close in.

•

Tilt the item on edge with its long axis straight up so that the center of the weight is as high as possible above the ground.

•

Still squatting, the feet should be set with legs pointed right at the load, with the back straightened, the worker may then grasp the load with both arms and slowly stand up with it, pushing up with the leg muscles. If you can’t lift slowly, you can’t lift safely.

A good way to learn the right from the wrong way to lift is to practice lifting correctly a few times. You will notice that the correct way to lift is the easiest way to lift the load, with the least strain and awkwardness.

To lift the wrong way will, over time, cause injury and pain. The back can be damaged quickly but can take a long time to heal.

• Gire el objeto hasta tener el eje longitudinal vertical para que el centro de gravedad esté lo más alto posible sobre el suelo.

•

Aún de cuclillas, los pies y las piernas deben estar apuntando a la carga, con la espalda recta, el trabajador debe sujetar la carga con ambos brazos y pararse lentamente, haciendo la fuerza con los músculos de las piernas. Si no se levanta lentamente, no se está levantando de manera segura.

Una buena manera de diferenciar entre el método correcto y los incorrectos de levantar es practicar la forma correcta varias veces.

Observará que con el método correcto es más fácil levantar la carga, con el menor esfuerzo y menos torpeza. Con el tiempo, el levantar objetos pesados incorrectamente puede ocasionar lesiones y dolor. La espalda se puede lastimar en un instante y tomar mucho tiempo para sanar.
