Gateway to total participation
``People Involvement`` activities are used to bridge all aspects of our Kansas City manufacturing business. This involvement is evident in the daily operation meetings conducted for information sharing, problem solving, concurrent engineering, and planning the work day as a business unit. Our business structure promotes total participation and fosters individual development and growth. This program illustrates the degree to which people can and should be involved in every facet of American industry. It taps capabilities not routinely used in manufacturing assignments and creates a working environment that strives to achieve a ``win-win`` situation for all. Our employee involvement program appropriately called ``People Involvement`` began on a single complex electrical product at the Kansas City Division of Allied Signal Aerospace Company approximately three years ago. The People involvement program is organized like a stand-alone company, and much of its success is based on the way it involves each employee as if they were an ``owner`` in the ``business.`` The group is structured to emphasize the importance of each member`s skill, regardless of position, and to include each member in all aspects of the project.
