David Fisher, President, S&H Machine

Manufacturing has undergone an incredible transformation. Leading

OEMs must accept and share greater responsibility in order to gain market
share. To excel in this industry requires flexibility, control, skill and measured
results.
 S&H meets and exceeds the demands of a global industry head-on,
serving critical Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers such as Crane Aerospace &
Electronics, Eaton Aerospace, Esterline Corporation, MOOG, Parker Aerospace,
Pacific Scientific, Triumph Group and Woodward, Inc.

These customers choose to do business with S&H because of our

outstanding quality, our reliability, our adherence to Lean principles, and
because we deliver the best value in highly competitive markets.
 CURRENT SITUATION

Today, still under David Fisher leadership, Alexander Mann Solutions

employs over 100O full time, highly skilled and motivated employees who
deliver high quality services. However, there were pressures from the
shareholder to reduce cost and increase profits. In response, S & H
management implemented cost-cutting downsizing by means of enforcing
employees who they felt could not cope up in the move to digitize the operation
of the management. As expected most of the employee were not happy and this
affected the morale of their employee

 ANALYSIS

Imposing an early retirement just because of your prejudice is really

unfair and unjust. It is no good both for the company and employee. It may
harm the image of the company by having a negative image on people
management. You may be able to have the most expensive machines but still,
always remember that success of your company largely depends on how well
employees perform their tasks. Those employees are talented and committed in
their work, company already knows and tested them, little adjustment and or
changes wouldn’t be a big problem thus, instead of force retirement why not
help them increase their performance?

Knowing how to maximize employee skill may seem just as vague, even
while morale suffers and turnover is at peak levels. Flipping those dynamics
may involve several different solutions.

1. Keep an open mind without jumping to conclusions. The door of

communication should remain open so you can discuss concerns
and address them directly.
2. Communicate clear expectations.
3. Make sure performance appraisals are consistent.
4. Make employee development a priority.
5. Empower employees to do their jobs well.
6. Utilize the right technologies.
7. Train employees to be ready for the possible changes

Monitoring and evaluation based on achieving results would not be the

manager only but even the employees by means of demonstrating that their
performance affects company results. This in turn will show to the
shareholders that the company’s primary goal is to increase performance
