observations

This incident happened many years ago when I was a Quality Assurance technician working in a PC notebook manufacturing line. (this post could be too technical to some…)

I don’t quite remember what I was involved in, but the situation kind of called for my attention at the assembly station. There were many rejects coming from the assembly station, most of them related to the fragile LCD flex cable connection. Some were damaged, and some had unflushed insertion.

So I stood there to make some observations. It was then I noticed that the assemblers (all of them were young female operators) weren’t given a fixture to provide a stable platform for the LCD cable assembly. As a result of that, each of the builders had to resort to their own method of finding an effective way to assemble the LCD module.

Then I noticed one lady – called ‘Rose’ – who stood out from the rest, who managed to devise the most effective and productive method of them all. What she did was, she let the LCD panel lean 45 degrees on herself. That way, she could free both her hands, and use them to effectively insert the LCD cable to the back of the LCD (the rest were using 1 hand to hold the LCD, and another hand to assemble the cable). Rose’s method was faster, more stable and very efficient.

So I asked her partner, Sue, to adopt Rose’s method to assemble the LCD. After some tutorial, Sue started to assemble her stuff with Rose’s method. But instead of making her more productive and efficient, it made her even slower, and even damaged some of the parts. That was because the LCD she was assembling kept falling flat on the table. At first I couldn’t understand why it didn’t work on Sue. But after much more observation, I finally figured out the problem, and started to laugh like a shitfuck.

Rose had bigger tits, and Sue was flat-chested.

Now how’s that possible? Because of the distance of the stool from the bench, versus the fixed assembly tray, the size of their tits kind of played an important role to decide whether they’re able to support an LCD with their chest. In the case of Sue, she didn’t have what it takes to support the LCD, and the LCD would slip right off her flat chest.

“Eh, apa you gelak-gelak aa??”

“You punya equipment out-of-spec… HAHAHAHHH!”

That goes on to prove that sometimes, bigger tits have its advantage in the technical aspect too. They’re not solely for cosmetic.

    True-blue engineer you are. Maybe u want to go into bio-mechanics to explore other potential function(s) of the mammary glands….

  5. Kevin says:

    lol….

  6. michaelooi says:

    Sam – It was peanut.

    Quinn – Well, don’t grow old then.

    nick – Yeah, I have to agree with that.

    Eric – Dude, I’m ALREADY exploring mammary glands and what-nots…

    lol, you’re so observant

  8. sweewon says:

    I knew it!

  9. fool says:

    so, what’s the solution in the end? u get the company to hire more assemblers whose equipment are within the spec? did u personally screened through their assembly jigs?

  10. michaelooi says:

    fool, the solution’s for me to know, and for you to find out.

    News flash:
    There is a recent hike in the commodity market especially raw silicon.
    Tech insider has reported that the laptop maker Company ZZZ is recently stockpiling a large surplus of bra inserts/pads and wonder bras. Is Company ZZZ trying to come up with a new product to woo the female market?
