A very honest reflective piece of work, which I believe was of some use to you Need to look at your referencing and bibliography – look up the ‘Harvard Style of Referencing for use in future assignments C. E. Cook Terms of Reference This assignment will research perception; providing information in how we perceive and methods of how perception can be changing. I will perform a self-evaluation and 360-degree evaluations, which will allow my peers to give feedback, which will give an indication of how I am perceived. The assignment will be providing critical analysis of the self-evaluation and the 360-degree evaluations drawing upon the theoretical models researched Introduction Who am I? I hold the position of Control Technician in the Operations Department of the Owens Corning Alcopor UK Building Products Ltd, Fibreglass manufacturing plant at the Cwmbran. The developed of my knowledge of control of systems has been through manufactures Training Courses and study at Gwent Tertiary College in Programming Allen Bradley P.L.C’s. My responsibility is for the Plants Process Control Systems; which includes Process Computers and Programmable Logic Controllers. After applying for a Supervisory position I realised that I did not have sufficient knowledge or skills for Leadership. The Organisation I work for. Owens Corning Alcopor (OCA) UK Building Products Ltd is part of a European Venture, between Owens Corning, USA and Alcopor, Switzerland. The European Venture manufactures Fibreglass and Foam products. The core product manufactured in the UK is fibreglass. The product has a variety of applications these include, roof, cavity wall insulation, pipe lagging and general oven and refrigeration insulation The Cwmbran Production Unit The Plant was originally built for Pilkington Brothers of St Helens in 1976 following the closure of the Pontypool sheet glass manufacturing plant in 1975 The Cwmbran Plant manufactures Loft Insulation in a range of thicknesses; from 40 mm to 200 mm., Europe and the USA receive exports of Fibreglass products from the Plant. The Plant’s warehouses are used as a staging post for products produced in our sister plants in the north of England, and plants in the U.S.A. Background The Problem; During resent months, there has been reorganization of the Engineering Department. The reorganization has caused a change in the combination of shift craft personnel from Electrical Mechanical to pure Mechanical bias multi-skilled personnel. This has resulted in the enlarging of the electrical team. The new members of the team had limited training in the methods of interrogating P.L.C’s. control programs; to solve faults that were stopping sections of Plant operate. Allen Bradley P.L.C’s have been incorporated into the control of the majority of the production areas. Without Basic training, it was difficult for individuals to understand how to manoeuvre around the software and how to move through the P.L.C. program. They understand the Ladder Logic but it was necessary to know the intricacies of the programming software Description of situation; There had been a new method for controlling the filling of a water tank installed. Following the installation, it was necessary to train the personnel who operated the area of the factory when on afternoons and nights and weekends During the training period, there was a conversation between the group, the topic of conversation was the Electrical team’s knowledge, and that I was not prepared to pass information on and in several areas of Plant I was the only person that knew how it operated. I thought about the remark that had been over heard and came to the conclusion that the situation required to be reacted too. I discussed the remark with the Manufacturing Support Leader, who has the responsibility to support the shift leaders. The new shift leaders believe that they have only one person they can approach when there was a problem with certain area of Plant. I discussed the situation with my Control Leader, who suggested that in future I ensured that I took along another member of the team with me on faultfinding activities.
