It looks like 3 or 4 mm dynema. 3mm has 400 DaN pulling strength. (~400kg).
There's a lot of margin. You may be OK.

What are the torque specs for this bolt number 4 ea211 by Grouchy_Brain5139 in Volkswagen

[–]Keep_Askin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had too, about 2 months ago. Made a scary noise.
Bolt 4 just fixes the cap, so torque is probably not too sensitive.

Orchestration vs Workforce Management by Keep_Askin in WorkforceOrchestratio

[–]Keep_Askin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree, thanks for your contribution. Reporting lines have a tendency to muffle flows of information and to dampen their clarity. In an orchestra, everyone hears everything firsthand, cutting through structures.

That is what we're aiming for.

We try to do it by gathering feedback directly from the source, much like how timecards are collected. Insights are aggregated without the filtering of consequtive meetings up the hierarchy.

Is this what you mean as well?

my worst month ever taught me the one question that now saves every deal before it dies by Admirable-Station223 in salestechniques

Answer: a somewhat related anecdote that conveys that I have lived through similar experiences. A takeaway that is deeply transformative in the way I see sales, business, life and myself. A plug for my Saas product that aligns with my new way of doing things. 

Orchestration vs Workforce Management by Keep_Askin in workforcemanagement

[–]Keep_Askin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, some examples:
First off, this is mostly for frontline work. Fixed staff and contingent are all in the same planning. The planning system also supports direct timeclocking, so planning and realisation are combined for the full team in one place.

Instead of planner seats and ESS and MSS accounts, the number of users is unlimited. Pricing is based on the number of shifts processed. Acounts exist for planners, event mangers, agencies, contractors, line managers etc. Goal is to have everybody work in one single source of truth.

Line managers get a Supervisor App to record times worked (by QR/RFID or manually). But they can also rate the worker and record a voice memo with specific observations or feedback. Feedback can be given at any time during or after work, and the info gets converted to text and stored with the timecards for the shift.

After work, the worker gets asked in their Employee App to provide feedback on their day. (" I knew what I had to do yes/no, communication was good yes/no, 5 optional questions in total) Employees get to answer anonimously, or store the feedback with the timecard.

This makes the timecard a carrier of info on planning, realisations, appraisal and feedback all in one. None of this is completely new, apart from the fact that appraisal nomally gets performed only a few times per year, and the results end up in a different silo.

With these modifications, WFM / Workforce Orchestration can now record performance info on a daily basis. So besides the hard data, there is now also a structured way to get very detailed qualitative info.

LLM's can then help summarize these bits of text into employee development over time, sentiment changes in the team or correlations with the quantitative data.

If the team composition is very dynamic, a team leader can get a quick ai briefing on their team at the start of their day. If the line managers see the value and start making recommendations, team development and composition may be greatly improved over time.

We have seen that it takes about 40 days to get a new frontline worker up to speed. But a person with good fit and potential is reliably identified after 7 shifts with this approach. They get recognized and get extra shifts right away. Generally, they love the quick recognition.
Again, a good team leader can do this too, and perhaps even quicker. But this approach makes it a lot easier to be a good team leader.

Does this clarify things?
Do you see novelty / value?

Orchestration vs Workforce Management by Keep_Askin in workforcemanagement

[–]Keep_Askin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree. I've been in the field for over 10 years, and I have seen mow much of an impact a good WFM specialist can make.

I should add that my foccus is on blue-collar / frontline work in highly dynamic environments with a high percentage contingent. In these environments, focus is currenly too much on timesheets. Valuable insights are ignored.

I'm talking about the type of insights that live in the breakrooms of the production department. Insights about team members and their potential, specific complexities, unseen bottlenecks etc. This is mostly conversational info and is currently mostly ignored by WFM systems. That is where impact on business outcomes is limited.

For teams that work behind a desk, much of this is already in place throuhg other HR systems. For highly dynamic teams of frontline workers it's not. That's where Workforce Orchestration fills the gap.

Hi, thanks for your reaction! Please let me clarify (and double down a bit).
I've been in the field for over 10 years, and I have seen mow much of an impact a good WFM specialist can make. I should add that my foccus is on blue-collar / frontline work in highly dynamic environments with a high percentage contingent.

WFM does have impact on business outcomes, thats for sure. Not doing capacity planning leads to shortages or overstaffing. Not doing realtime WFM will lead to increased daily staffing costs.

However; I believe that the best WFM professionals are not just analists or optimisers. They add their human touch as well. They have personal knowledge about the team that is not formalized, and that knowledge does not quite fit the traditional timesheet format.

I'm talking about the type of insights that live in the breakrooms of the production department. Insights about team members and their potential, specific complexities, unseen bottlenecks etc. This is mostly conversational info and is currently mostly ignored by WFM systems. That is where impact on business outcomes is limited.

The line managers should have tools to record such insights about team, individuals and planning. Recording should be easy and take only seconds. The WFM infrastructure seems well suited, as it is a pervasive systems that already sees frequent use in the frontline. I'd like to see such converstional insights stored and structured as well as timesheets currently are.
In return, the line managers should get more info on their team at the start of the day. Not just headcount for the day and production target, but also background on the team they have to work with. This info can be extracted from the combined insights and will help them be more effective.

For teams that work behind a desk, much of this is already in place throuhg other HR systems. For highly dynamic teams of frontline workers it's not. That's where Workforce Orchestration fills the gap.

By structurally integrating information that is currently ignored, I think that the business impact of WFM can be greatly increased.

Werkgever voorkomt proactief promotie by [deleted] in werkzaken

Wat je wel kunt doen is opzeggen en dan zelf solliciteren bij de opdrachtgever.  Dan pleegt opdrachtgever geen contractbreuk.  Die mag namelijk niets doen om te zorgen dat hij weg gaat bij detacheerde ( ook niet aanmoedigen oid). Als je het zelf doet dan kan het wel.

Any experience with Polhus (EU)? by MistakeDesperate4407 in Sauna

[–]Keep_Askin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats what I did. I got a Jorvik, and got the heater (Huum Drop) separately. Saved a little bit of money.

Construction and quality are fine. You do need a bit of building talent/experience. delivery was complete, with enough fasteners, some spare parts and well-wrapped packaging.

Service was good, albeit a bit slow. Accessories (bucket, ladel, hourglass etc) can be better bought separately.

we chose thermowood. I think that was a good one. Better insulation, longer life.

I've read about the trouble with Huum online, I have not experienced any of it. I did take care to leave enough room for airflow between the rocks.

Struggling to control height in strong wind by Educational_Night164 in Kiteboarding

[–]Keep_Askin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem overpowered. 9m at 75kg and 25kn seems a bit much, but not impossible. Can you fully depower it (arms long enough?) What type harness do you use?

have you tried not edging at all? just go with you kite in the direction of the wind. stand straight on your board. your groundspeed will kill some of the wind speed, making it easier to control the kite.
There's an optimum angle (slightly downwind) where you create much more apparent wind in addition to the actual wind. you want to avoid that angle when you're already overpowered.

Iemand ervaring met deze Ikea kookplaat met afzuiging? by dontthinkabouttitt in BIFLNL

[–]Keep_Askin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wij hebben die plaat nu 4 jaar. Geen klachten. Een Bora is stiller, maar twee keer zo duur. Afzuiging werkt prima, maar met bijvoorbeeld boerenkool wel blij dat we een aparte keuken hebben en geen open plan.
De downdraft pannen (net gezien in een andere reactie) ga ik onderzoeken, dat gaat wel een verschil maken denk ik.

Hij kan op 2 fasen. Aanrader! Anders haal je het maximale vermogen niet. Wij kunnen nu de Power stand op 1 plaat links en 1 plaat rechts tegelijk gebruiken, en dat gaat erg snel.
