In a production environment, efficiency depends on how you “play your cards”:
Skill Matrix: Use a skills matrix to visualize who is certified for specific machinery (e.g., the CNC cutter) versus who is a master at manual welding.
Developmental Delegation: Assign tasks not just to the fastest person, but to someone who needs to grow. For example, assign a junior fabricator to lead a small part of a project to build their leadership skills.
