You're facing quality issues in routine maintenance tasks. How do you address efficiency-focused colleagues?

Confronting quality issues in maintenance requires a delicate balance, especially with efficiency-focused colleagues. To bridge the gap:

- Reiterate the importance of quality standards and how they ultimately lead to long-term efficiency gains.

- Implement checklists for routine tasks to ensure nothing is missed, even during high-pressure periods.

- Schedule regular training sessions to reinforce best practices and address common pitfalls.

How do you maintain high-quality standards while satisfying the need for efficiency in your team?

    Trabajar desde lo básico, no perder el orden en las tareas, seguir procedimientos. Siempre hay prisa, siempre se requiere que el equipo esté operativo lo antes posible. Pero si nos saltamos pasos o dejamos de hacer cosas, será algo que en algún momento nos pasará la cuenta.

    The implementation of checklists for routine tasks and its supervision ensures or can ensure that nothing is lost and that the work is done with due responsibility, even during periods of high pressure.

    -In my experience, the gap between efficiency focus and quality of work stems from a lack of understanding the “why”. They are both important on their own, and more important as a pair. But in a high volume environment it needs to be explained to those performing their duties that lacking in quality,and expecting to make it up in tasks completed or time consumed, can be a leading cause of double work or extra down time. Setting quality standards and inspecting them is the duty of management, but works best when encouraged as a peer review. When a set level of quality expectation is met, then efficiency procedures can be placed to shorten time consumed.

    Lead by Example: Demonstrate a commitment to quality in your own work and decision-making. This sets the tone for the entire team. * Communicate the "Why": Clearly articulate the importance of quality standards and how they contribute to the overall success of the organization. Explain how quality translates to long-term efficiency gains, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction. * Empower Team Members: Encourage team members to take ownership of quality. Give them the autonomy to make decisions that impact quality and hold them accountable for the results. * Recognize and Reward the quality tasks
