The longer I'm in this business and the more advice I hear from experienced people such as Dale, I realize that there's alot of talk about "systems and structures" but that the real answer is simply to hire immigrant labor. You could probably perfectly implement alot of these "systems" but the real problem is the (domestic) workforce we have to choose from. Sad but true. I guess even the best elephant trainer in the world can't make one do a backflip.
I know we have to move in this direction as well. My two foreman have been with me for a long time (8 & 11 years) and even though I've had a few college kids return for 3-4 years straight, I struggle to bring in "newbies" that are willing to stay long enough to get to where they are worth the $18-20/ hour (plus benefits). We all know the routine, so I won't repeat it here.
