Rki-Inc

Daily overview of work schedule, inspections of equipment required in daily production. Helping subordinates perform repairs when additional instruction is needed. Arranging teaching areas as opportunities arise.
 Keeping management apprised of needed repairs and how they will affect Production and which areas.
The hardest part of the job is communicating with everyone. Some people are visual learners while others are auditory learners. I have found PowerPoint presentations work best with both types.
The most enjoyable part of this job was installing new equipment, training operating and maintenance staff on the use and repairs, and seeing production improvements and reduced time frames.

I started out at R.K.I. as an unloader, separating parts to be distributed to the appropiate brake presses to be bent. I then progressed to Brake Press Helper assisting the operator. I became a Brake Press Operator bending parts +/- 1/32 of an inch to blueprint specifications. I later trained on the Iowa Precision Slear 2.5 loading rolls of metal with an overhead crane and setting up to cut sheets to length to be sent to the Laser Machine where it was cut to make parts I'm profficent on a sit down forklift; I have basic computer skills. I had a great working relationship with my supervisors and co-workers. I believe in teamwork and take great pride in doing whatever task assigned to me well and on time!

What i learned was that i can work better alone than people breathing down my neck. I get things done faster and work more comfortable.
Management was really the problem there. They really had very poorly management skills there which would make your job so much harder than what it really was.
My co-workers, they were always fun to work with them. I would always be random people every month that i trained and work with. So that was an experience for me.. to be training new people almost every month.
The hardest part of the job and like i mentioned before they no management skills what so ever. They are so disorganized and new very little of what was going on in their department.
The most enjoyable part of my job was my schedule.

They offer poor pay and no over time to compensate the low wages. They pay you on productivity but you are working with 12 welders and one man on a forklift bringing you material to weld. So you can imagine how you performance will look. Also when I would grab a floor jack to retrieve material to work on, I would be told not to leave by booth. Then by the end of the work day they would record how much I've completed. Then tell me some days I haven't done enough, but how could I of I'm waiting on one forklift driver to supply the other 11 welders including myself, and not just that the same driver was also working another side of the plant. Bad environment to work most definitely.

At a typical day of work for me is by coming in with a positive attitude and motivated to work I can also encourage other workers to do as well. The hardest part of the job would be the easiest that I believe because I love challenges, improving my performance, and working as part of a team to accomplish a certain tasks or duties. I use good judgement and common sense if there's a situation I come across at any given time. I enjoy life as it is so having a job knowing that I can help a company grow to be successful I know I did a job well done.

Company treats works very unfair when it comes to getting a raise also they sent out a memo stating they need no reason to let an employee go also I was their for 6 months received no raise and my work performance what's constantly looked over but management held meetings with us in our department telling us that this was the best crew they've had in a long time but did not show us their appreciation appreciation appreciation

I learned how to buff, inspect, polish and put latches together. It was a fast pace environment. Safe and clean. My manager was good to work with and for. RKI strives for us to have accurate production and move up in the company. The hardest part of the job was the standing for long periods of time and inventory. We were like family and got the job done. The boss would always say, "Team work makes the dream work!" RKI Inc. is great work place to learn new  skills at a steady pace. This skill are sanding, sealing, inspecting tool body's and taking inventory.

I really liked working for RKI. It was a great place to work. A very friendly environment and a general good atmosphere to work in. A typical day at RKI, I would arrive at my scheduled time, work on inputting and coding invoices. I only worked part time because I was also going to school. They were very flexible with my schedule and I really appreciated that. It was a very sad day when we found out they had been bought out by an out of town business.
