Blaming volume is just making excuses for them. No matter how much work there is to do... an employee either does the work correctly or they don't. If you want to say the pressure from above to get the work done fast is creating a situation where the employees are failing and creating errors... then that is a different story, and may or may not be the case. Regardless, that's pressure from above mixed with employees who can't handle that pressure.... not the amount of work. Any employee in any field will increase error rate with large work load increase. oakman29, Beastfeast and Bluemedgroup 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is clearly a scam artist so no surprise that after his little trick worked he is bouncing from one forum to another trying to sell off these books. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. I’ve had a book mislabeled by CGC that was correctly entered on the invoice. They even mislabeled it a second time when I sent it back to be corrected. This may have been the work of a scammer or just another example of how bad QC has become.

Not sure what you're saying. Are you saying, for example, that if the rate of errors was 1%, it becomes greater than 1% if the work load increases? If this is what you mean, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you. JJ-4 and Juno Beach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rate of errors shouldn't increase with the amount of work. And of course not in every field. In any case, the cause of errors is not the workload, but the employee failures.

Edited 5 hours ago by Sigur Ros Imagine your job is examining cogs for defects. You have a full plate examining 100 cogs a day. Suddenly you are required to examine 200 cogs a day, in the same timeframe. Due to the laws of spacetime physics, this means you will spend 1/2 the time examining each cog as you did before. Less time examining cogs for defects means more defects slip through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less time examining cogs for defects means more defects slip through. So the number of errors go up, according to your scenario, not the error rate as Gaard explained. That is what you are saying. I understand that, and agree it's likely in some lines of work, but the responsibility falls on the employee making the errors. That is all I am saying.

Imagine Kav's scenario where your time gets cut in half, but you still have the same amount of items to examine. Because you only have half the time more errors slip through. If its the same amount of items my error rate is going to increase. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Employees are letting these poor QC failures out the door. No one else. But if what you're all saying is fact, I would hate to see an air traffic controller on one of his busier days.

I don't think anyone is arguing employees aren't missing things. But that doesn't equate to it being the employees fault depending on circumstances. And I don't really think anyone was making up scenarios for the sake of it. Just trying to figure out what may be happening and why. As far as your air traffic controller example I would certainly hope that they have a maximum amount of planes one controller could adequately handle and being "very busy" still wouldn't put him over that limit.
