Message from Merlin
General Manager
Edition 32
After talking with many of you over the last few weeks, it has become clear that Gaining Ground payout is not fully
understood. Let’s take a few minutes to go over the process. Hopefully, it will make a little more sense after we’re
done.
First… Gaining Ground is a ‘self funded’ incentive program. Basically what this means is the money paid out is
money we as a site have put into the payment pool. The money comes from our established operating budget for both
direct and indirect elements. If we meet that budget and do not spend more than was planned, each employee will
receive 5 days extra pay. Pretty simple so far…
Second… Let’s talk about the 10 additional days we have the opportunity to earn. Under running our budget for the
year puts additional money into the Gaining Ground payment pool account. The more we under run our budget…
means more money for the account… thus allowing us to fund the additional 10 days... Still with me?
Third… In order to receive the extra 10 days we also need to achieve our goals on the following four key metrics:
- 25% Safety OSHA Rate
- 25% Quality R3 Performance
- 25% Schedule Starts & Completes Average
- 25% Inventory Product Turns (P-turns)
At the beginning of each year we establish targets for each goal based on our performance at the end of the previous
year. Our goal is obviously to achieve 100% but you can get partial credit toward gaining ground even if you fall short
of the target… For example, if we meet our year end target on Safety, Schedule, and Inventory, but end the year half
way to our Quality R3 target… or 50%... we would have achieved a total score of 87.5%. That means we would get
87.5% of what was in our gaining ground payment pool account. If we managed to put enough money in the pool
(equal to say 12 days) 12 x 87.5% equals 10.5 days which would ensure you to earn the additional 10 days.
A couple of other things to consider…
- It is possible to miss every single target and get 5 days payout because the first 5 days are based on
meeting budget as a site.
- It is also possible to achieve every target and get nothing if we don’t beat budget and create the pool
account.
- Our payout is not tied to any other site’s performance.
- Each site funds its own pool and works to achieve its own targets independently.
- We truly can control our own destiny… 100% Payout of Pool

Continuous Improvement at Work
By: Dink Martin, Black Belt – Six Sigma
In the SHODA, 68 shear ties move through the area every 10 days.
The mechanics were frustrated as they looked for the next part to be
trimmed. It was almost like looking for a needle in the haystack.
Because of the backlog, there were 5 racks of parts in the area on any
given day to be searched without any clear location (nothing had a
specific place).
We took a look at the situation and reduced the 5 racks of parts down
to 3 dollies to house the 68 shear ties for a ship set of parts. The
dollies were identified with the part numbers in chronological order and
parts were located in their new home. Now the mechanics have one
location for each part. The multiples are located at the same location. Before: NO LABELS.
This became a visual to see what parts were in the area and which Mechanics have to search for
ones had multiples to be trimmed. It provides a clear, quick, and easy parts (valuable time wasted

Benefits include the ability to easily store parts as they come into
the SHODA area. It provides the SHODA operator a way to
easily locate parts as needed. It causes less chaos and
confusion and reduces the amount of time in looking for the right
part(s). It takes up less space in the room. It provides better
quality with the proper dolly layout that better protects parts from
damage. It causes a more efficient area in general and

and organized). While the SHODA can be a frustrating job at

Lean/Six Sigma methodologies exist as a structured means for
continuous improvement. It provides the framework and
foundation to fundamentally solve various problems in and
throughout the value stream. Harold Ewers and Bobette Prosser
identified a fundamental problem within their area (SHODA) and
found confusion and chaos as to how the shear ties were being
managed within the department. The fix sounds so simple and,
in fact, it is. The important thing to note here is the fact that they
identified the problem and found a solution, but more than
that…they implemented the solution and are already realizing
the tremendous positive effects it has on the area.
Congratulations to the Shoda team for taking action toward
continuous improvement. It is activities such as this that must be All parts have a place. Mechanics

National Start Walking Day
Physical inactivity is a huge national problem. Seventy percent of Americans do not get enough
exercise. That is true for many of us right here at Vought Aircraft and it means that we are at
greater risk for heart disease, stroke, and other blood
vessel diseases. Physical activity offers many benefits.
In fact, research shows that people who get regular,
vigorous physical activity (like walking) could gain two
more hours of life for every one hour they exercise.
To promote physical activity in the workplace, employees
at the Milledgeville site made a pledge to live a healthier
life and participated in the National Start Walking Day on
