I wanted to reply to the chargebacks for work performed. I recommend you no longer talk to managers or bonus seeking hypocrites not support your team effort. You need to log your manual and machine time per hour and charge back all expenses. Have the operator sign your internal invoice and submit it to accounting. Every department needs to be a profit center including yours. The managers have an option to outsource machinist, but would that provide you more time to complete your task?! Stop seeking approval and have a meeting with your Six Sigma black belt or EVP to support your actions
