PROCEDURAL INTERPRETATION OF SECTION. Current standards are guaranteed unless the Company makes a change in method, means, process, equipment, production conditions, or product design. Where such change results in an addition to the standard task time, an adjustment will be made to proportionately reflect the change. In those instances where the change results in greater output, the time will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the diminution in task time. Thus, standards will be revised to reflect the changes of the job, operation, or variation of any operation in the degree the change in the task affects the standard upward or downward. Where the change represents less than five percent (5%) of the cycle base minutes, the Company will use standard data from its bank of appropriate basic time study standards in determining the new task time reflecting the change. The Company may restudy the operation in those instances where the elements of work affected by the revised method exceed five percent (5%) of the originally submitted cycle base minutes of the entire task. In those instances where there was no original time study taken, where standards were set by negotiations, or where element breakdown was not measured, or where the additions and deletions are not sufficiently distinct to permit addition or subtraction from work content, the Company will develop time from a restudy of the entire operation. Every time a change of sufficient impact to justify a modification of standard is contemplated, all other changes from the time the standards were last established will, of course, be included in the new measurement of the task. It is contemplated that there will be occasions where preceding and succeeding elements will be affected by change. Similarly, it is contemplated that preceding and succeeding operations for classifications may be affected by a change. In those instances, it will be necessary to measure and modify the impact of such change. Once the appropriate addition or deletion is developed, such time will be translated into an SAH on the basis of current labor grades or basic rates. In order to preserve the integrity of earnings as well as integrity of job methods and product quality, it is agreed that neither the supervisor nor the employee can change the prescribed method of performing the incentive task. All changes and resulting standards, in order to become effective and binding, must be initiated in writing by the Time Study Department. For identification purposes, the Company, on October 15, 1973, installed an administrative procedure on all new time studies which enables a departmental shop steward or other designated Union official to sign a copy of such nex xxxxxard data or chart issued as a consequence of such new time study.
