(b) Before an operation is studied, the methods analyst shall establish in conjunction with the operator and the xxxxxxx if necessary, the method of operation for the operation being studied. (c) Before an operation is studied, the operator will be notified that a study is to be taken. (d) No probationary employee shall be studied for the purpose of setting a standard. 9:03 The following procedure shall be used to establish standards: (a) The methods analyst shall record the following, on Univel observation sheets: i) The breakdown of elements of the operation in their sequence of performance, a description of the elements outlining the methods and motion pattern to be followed in the performance of the operation. ii) A description of the tooling, methods, layout, speeds and feeds, and production techniques to be used. iii) A description or identification number of the equipment upon which the operation is performed, and date of study. iv) The amount and frequency of inspection, if any, to be performed by the operator. v) A detailed sketch of the working area, including the location of stock, and the location of the finished work container. (b) To determine the production standard, the analyst shall use the following procedure: i) The work as it is being performed by the operator will be filmed until the analyst feels he has covered the process. The analyst will make all reasonable efforts to avoid facial shots. ii) The analyst then uses the film to breakdown the method used to manufacture the part and records all aspects of the method on a Univel coding sheet found within the full methods report. iii) The analyst will then use the standard Univel procedure to develop the allowance for the particular study. iv) The Univel system will generate the standard time from the coding sheets and allowances found within the full methods report. (c) After the study has been completed: i) The industrial engineering department will furnish to the production department involved operation description sheets which will contain a complete description of the job as covered by the study, and from this point on the job will be run in accordance with this information. ii) The Univel observation sheet, and all supporting data and supplementary documents used to record information pertaining to the job shall be kept in a permanent file by the industrial engineering department. Films will not be kept in the permanent files and will be disposed of at an appropriate time following the implementation of the study and in no event no later than thirty (30) days. iii) At the conclusion of the study, the employee who has been studied shall be advised of the production standard. 9:04 On being assigned to a job for which a production standard has been placed in effect, the employee shall be advised by his xxxxxxx as to what such standard is. Continued failure or refusal of an employee to produce on the basis of such production standards shall be considered due cause to discipline, unless the failure is due to causes beyond his control, or a grievance is in process on such production standard. When the Company contemplates disciplinary action for failure to perform in accordance with production standards, the Union Xxxxxxx shall be notified promptly that the employee has been given the first warning and the reason for such warning.

PRODUCTION STANDARDS. 9:01 It is 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 Company changed elements as part of the standard. B. Once a rate has been established, it shall not be subject to establish change unless there are changes in the method, material, product, equipment or layout and enforce production standardssuch changes would result in an accumulated change of five percent (5%) or more to the original operational time. A standard time study system In that event, only the element or elements which have changed will be utilized for this purpose. Production standards shall include allowances as follows; Personal re-studied and Delay -- will not be less than 7.3% Fatigue -- will vary, depending on the job. Total Allowance -- consisting of Personal, Delay and Fatigue will not be less than 10.5%overall rate adjusted accordingly. a) Such C. The production standards 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 set on considered correct if the basis 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 working conditions, (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 quality of workmanship and the normal working capabilities of normal, experienced operators, who is someone who holds the job postingplant. b) Production F. All production incentive standards shall be set so computed as to actually give the worker allowance for personal time, fatigue depending upon the mental and maintained physical fatigue caused by the Company through job, and for tools, trouble, and contingencies. Such allowance shall be in accordance with the use actual requirements of experienced methods analyst(s)the job. c) Jobs may be restudied when there G. If production is a change in materials, tools, machinery, equipment, methods, design, or where a clerical error has been found. Only halted during the affected elements shall be changed and only to day through no fault of the degree of change shown by a restudy. d) The Union shall have the right to process grievances on disputed production standards through the grievance procedure. In processing grievances on production standards, the Union shall be allowed to bring in a Time Study Expert from the National Union. The Company shall make information available to him Associate involved and the Union shall have the right Employer requires such Associate to request a restudy if the job appears improperly studied.
