Haven't you ever played the make more parts than the guy you follow game? Back many decades ago before self employment I hated the guy I followed. He was an ass kissing to the owner back stabbing politician. He was on days I was on nights and the owner did not stay onto the night shift. Anyway what this guy would typically do he would put all 12 tools in a set-up without one of them set and tell the owner the machine was ready to run a first part, making it look like it was almost ready to go and wasn't. So the next day I have to hear "What took so long to get that running?"
I was way more skilled than this a-hole I followed. So what I did was start running the machines at 110%+ to make more parts. On the machines I was running you could alter the override settings with parameters, you could make all positions over 100% only do 100% or make position 100% do 150%. After using it I would take all of one minute to disable the override so even if the guy thought of using it would do nothing. The other guys on his shift hated him also, so they fed me all the stories of how I was driving him crazy. He would look at my part count on the job sheet and go in to a tirade. He actually was coming to work early and not clocking in working for free, working though breaks and lunch and still falling short of my production and hearing it from the owner on a daily basis. Him and I were considered the top two so we got the harder jobs, I could also use manual machines to save bad parts, the other guy didn't do that either. That guy was working over an extra hour a day for free, and was killing himself, while I was cruising and even cleaning up early and taking long dinner breaks.
