Grumbles July 6, 1988 MANPOWER NEEDS ASSESSMENT TEAM MEETINGS The subject meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 12, 1988 from 10:00-3:00 p.m., at the LCLAB plant conference room. I have attached the following: 1. Results of the brainstorming session in Galveston addressing the question, "What are we not doing due to insufficient manpower". 2. Two pages handed out at the management meeting on June 13. This meeting was attended by Inbody, Ferrell, Gamblin, Debernardi and myself. It was at this meeting that it was decided to appoint team members. A draft agenda for the meeting is below. 1. Review of the manpower issue 2. Develop and agree on mission statement 3. Discuss time-frame for project TGG 15 min ALL 20 min ALL 10 min 4. Discuss relationship of this team tocareers team TGG 10 min 5. How to define the problem 6. Problem solving ALL 45 min ALL 180min 7. Summarize and agree on action items ALL 15 min The following are some thoughts to consider for the meeting. These are based on multiple discussions with Houston manufacturing management and plant environmental personnel. 1. This effort will be more of a "strategic planning effort" than a "short-term" assessment of what we need right now. Acute needs can be addressed and communicated for this budget cycle but it's possible the teams efforts will not be complete by then. 2. The number of things we're not doing should be categorized or reviewed in terms of the q00* consequences of not doing them. Compliance is clear, but the other issues, waste minimization, training, etc. need definition. 3. We should consider the following questions: a. Can the existing organization meet the needs? b. What impairs progress now? c. Who should be doing the things we're not doing? Who owns them? d. Are the needs routine, project oriented, intermittent? e. What type of person can do the tasks? f. How do we raeasure/monitor how we're doing now? 4. The assessment will include Manufacturing, R & D, Houston staff, and Engineering (Houston and Plants). Below is a first attempt at a mission statement. The environmental manpower team will assess the manpower needs of the corporation in the areas of compliance, environmental control programs and related areas and make recommendations to the appropriate management level regarding the type and number of people needed to meet those needs. As noted on the agenda we will refine and agree on the mission statement at the meeting. T. G.

We will discuss whether Vista has enough people, in the right places, working on the right things. All functions doing environmental work can be addressed including Plants, Engineering, Legal, Houston Environmental. The Objective is to first develop a list of work not getting done, decide how important the work is, then select a final list of important work not getting done for presentation to the attendees at the Environental Meeting. In the Environmental Meeting, we will decide what should happen next Can /anything).
