PIECE WORK......DOES NOT PROMOTE QUALITY WORK
NEVER has....NEVER will
Not sure that is the problem. Hourly pay, you can still get the "I don't give a snot" guy plus you get a large percentage that instead of looking at what might be a better way "So what? The're paying me head down." And if CQ catches a defect, the company pays for the hours to fix it.
IMHO, the problem is lack of inspection as it is built. The workers are paid for each job finished. If it was inspected, and found wrong, the worker does not get paid to do that job, or has to come back and fix it for free. Because each worker is wanting to make as much as he can he is always looking for a better way. And for the same reason he will be sure the product meets standards.
I thing the problem is people keep buying the trash, there is no reason to hire the inspectors. WE lay the money down, try to use it, take it back to the dealer. Then for the next period of time, days weeks or months the dealer has our trailer and part of the money, the manufacturer has rest of the money, you got squat.
Look at numbers; at any given time a busy dealer might have what 3 potential buyers on the lot? And at the same time, at least a dozen RVs waiting for warranty work? What would happen if say a third of the people that payed for squat stopped by[/] the dealer to check on the RV they don't have, then stepped into the sales area to report their "Joy of ownership?" At the very least it would get the sales force whipping service dept. And it would not take long before the dealers to realize "I can't really sell if I have all this warranty work," and he would refuse to accept the bad RVs.
