Challenge and choice

I worked in a packaging factory as a designer for cartoon boxes clichés,  and I have always had difficulties with my manager about my workload  over deadlines as he wanted me to be faster in meeting customers  needs. Thus, I resorted to estimate my performance speed at every  stage of design (it was the same as a freelancer too) through asking  myself many questions that I can summarize as mentioned in the  course…

Application

I checked all the work stages development from A to Z, beginning from  the moment the customer entered until the moment I deliver the  design. I discovered the problem was not my performance speed on the  design programs but rather it was when choosing the appropriate shear  template to form the box.

There were more than 800 templates in the factory at that time and we  have to choose the most appropriate for customer needs and less  expensive one. Which was very time consuming. To fix this I had to  rearrange within a table, and archive all the templates to figure out  which template is best fasters.

Insight & Approach

What I learned from this experience is that when we receive a complaint  about our performance, we have to look for the reason behind this  problem before we judge ourselves or accept the criticism directed at us  as it is.
