PRODUCTION STANDARDS. The Parties agree that the Production Standards shall be all of the standards and requirements set forth in the current (as of the time of delivery of Ethanol under this agreement) ASTM standard specifications for denatured fuel ethanol for blending with gasolines for use as automotive spark ignition engine fuel.

PRODUCTION STANDARDS. 40:01 The right of the Company to establish and to maintain standards of production is fully recognized. The Company shall establish reasonable production standards on a basis of fairness and equity, consistent with quality workmanship, efficiency of operations, and the reasonable working capacity of normal operators. The Company will give proper consideration to the conditions under which standards of production are established and a change of quality, methods, equipment, tooling or material, which results in a substantial change of the job content and/or rate of production will be reason for the Company to change standards of production. Such changes shall be confined to the elements of work or methods which have been changed. The Engineering Department shall establish production standards, basing them on part experience on the same or similar jobs or operations, or by time and motion studies. The Union may question and process a grievance on production standards, following the regular procedure. The Union, in the case of a dispute, shall have the right to bring in representative from the Unifor Engineering Department. An Arbitrator dealing with a production standards grievance shall be a qualified Production Professional Engineer. The Union Plant Committee shall be informed, in writing, the reason for, methods used and all particulars of any change made in production standards at the time such change becomes effective.

PRODUCTION STANDARDS. The Employer may establish, implement, and/or continue systems of production requirements. The Union shall be notified of such newly established systems of production requirements and the date of implementation.

PRODUCTION STANDARDS. A. Production incentive standards shall be established by the Employer. They will be established by means of accepted Industrial Engineering technique, including standard data. The Union will have the right to examine sources of standard data. Wherever any change affects only part of a job, the Employer may restudy only the affected elements unless such change would affect the preceding elements and succeeding elements. In this case, it may review such elements and consider the results of such review of the changed elements as part of the standard. B. Once a rate has been established, it shall not be subject to change unless there are changes in the method, material, product, equipment or layout and such changes would result in an accumulated change of five percent (5%) or more to the original operational time. In that event, only the element or elements which have changed will be re-studied and the overall rate adjusted accordingly. C. The production incentive standard itself, as well as the manner by which it was established, shall be fair and equitable to both the Associates and the Employer. D. An Associate, when being observed, shall perform his work in accordance with the Employer's instructions and shall otherwise cooperate to give a performance which is representative of the actual conditions under which the job will run. He shall also understand that each job will stand on its own merit. E. It is agreed that any standard will be considered correct if the average operator working at a job he can do well can earn at least twenty-five percent (25%) above standard while working at incentive pace. The Employer recognizes that incentive Associates producing at effort in excess of normal (over one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) as defined above) will generate additional earnings over time rates. An Associate producing at an effort less than normal for his classification of work shall be given notice to bring his production standard up to at least normal within thirty (30) days. Failure to do so may subject such Associate to transfer to another job classification or assignment to any job vacancy in the plant. F. All production incentive standards shall be so computed as to actually give the worker allowance for personal time, fatigue depending upon the mental and physical fatigue caused by the job, and for tools, trouble, and contingencies. Such allowance shall be in accordance with the actual requirements of the job. G. If production is halted du...
