It used to be a great place to work for - Supervisor Mid-West Forge Employee Review

New upper management team is clueless as to what goes on down on the shop floor. Their idea of lean management is to invest little to no money into their broke down machines, and the little bit of money that they do invest is spent in the wrong areas. For example, we are in the automotive business, we make rear truck axles, if majority of our machines that make our axles are either broke down, or only capable of producing 30% efficiency because they are so far beyond their life expectancy, instead of fixing these machines they choose to dump money into other processes that are needed after the axel is forged. Why would you buy new tires for your car when you know that all of your rims are bent and are not capable of holding air?
