Established Standards. The Licensee agrees that the nature and quality of all products sampled, sold, or otherwise disposed of by the Licensee and covered by the Licensed Marks shall conform to the standards established by and under the control of the Licensor (collectively, the “Quality Standards”). The Quality Standards shall be reasonable, no greater than the quality standards imposed by the Licensee’s customers generally, and at least equal in quality to the products (in the aggregate) sold by the Licensee prior to the Effective Date.
Established Standards. The nature and quality of all products sampled, sold, or otherwise disposed of by the Licensee and covered by the Marks will conform to the standards established by for highest quality products sold by the Licensee and Licensee’s direct competitors (collectively, the "Quality Standards").
Established Standards. A. Before setting a standard for the purpose of establishing a new or changed standard or for checking a standard which is in dispute, the Company Time Study Engineer shall inform the Union Time Study Person or the Line Committeeman in advance that a study is to be taken.
B. Inform the worker(s) who is to be studied in advance that such an event is to take place.
C. All analyses, for the purpose of establishing a standard, will be made at the work site and on the operator who normally performs the job. Such operator shall be instructed by the analyst in the precise method and motion pattern to be used in establishing such standard.
D. A detailed work outline shall accompany each released standard. The outline shall contain a description of the job, all motion used and sequence of same, allowances, time per piece, pieces per hour, work layout, conditions and circumstances. In addition, all pertinent manufacturing information, such as, machine number, feeds and speeds, tools, material specification, etc., will be included in such description.
E. When a standard is released and before such standard is established as a permanent standard, the operator or operators working on the job will be given instruction and training in the method and motion pattern as set forth in the standard. The training and instruction period shall be dependent on the job.
F. A standard once established shall remain permanent unless affected by proven clerical errors or a change, such as, tooling, jigs, fixtures, machinery, equipment or methods resulting in changed time values for any portion of the standard. Operator dexterity or ingenuity will not cause a change in a standard.
G. Changes in the standard shall be made only with respect to the portion or portions of the operation affected. Those portions of the operation not so affected shall remain unchanged, and the standard shall be re-calculated accordingly.
H. When changes, as referred to above, are affected, a Comparison Sheet will be made up showing the changes between the old and new standards and the effects of such change.
I. If the change results in a method or motion pattern change, the operator will be given and instruction or training period to adapt to such changes.
J. Insure that job conditions existing at the time of the study are properly representative of those which will exist in the future.
K. Record in sufficient detail on the observation sheet all conditions pertaining to the operation so that the operation coul...
