Production Manager: “If you spend more than you got, you are not going to have a good time.”
There it is! Sounds simple, yet it happens every day. Production manager said specifically “not going to have a good time.” The financial result of our jobs is the revenue stream supporting the business operation. We are doing rewarding and meaningful work, but when we fail at managing our jobs to profitability, it is not fun, it is not good, and it puts the business in jeopardy.
