    Chinese lathe good enough for my needs?

    If you can find a name branded used lathe that is not worn, it would be better. I understand there are probably not hundreds to choose from where you are.

    I merely responded to what you posted, not what you imagined. I don't think Russia is the place to go if you want safety.

    Creating a decision tree for internal customer so they can decide what work to send me and what work to outsource.

    I think in light of what you have posted, my response to current events would be: talk informally with the engineer who is pissed off now. Without totally trashing your boss make it clear you are someone who can be dealt with, you are not the problem. In the future, when priorities get changed...

    Creating a decision tree for internal customer so they can decide what work to send me and what work to outsource.

    Creating a decision tree for internal customer so they can decide what work to send me and what work to outsource.

    Here's the thing, you cannot. It is not and cannot be your job. Your manager needs to have meetings with the other managers regarding your workflow. It is not necessary that they know how to do your job, or how long things take, they can ask you Scenario one: Engineer requests a block of your...

    Creating a decision tree for internal customer so they can decide what work to send me and what work to outsource.

    I have done this job in the past. You should not be doing the decision making You should be advising your boss on your schedule and capabilities. Let others hash out priorities Engineers request your work from your boss, not you. You interface with engineers WRT work, but not scheduling...
