While sufficient amount of sleep might boost the productivity of Quiot Manufacturing, the author's argumentation is replete with dubious assumptions. In order to evaluate the argument, a close examination of the assumptions is required.
On the basis of statistics that number of on-the-job accidents in Quiot Manufacturing(QM) is 30 percent more than that in Panoply Industries(PI), the author implies that the problem of on-the-job accidents is obviously more severe in QM, compared with that in PI. However, in this argument, the author implicitly assumes that the severity of this problem is only related to the number of accidents in a year, which might not be the case. In reality, the severity should also depend on the total number of employees. For instance, if 13 accidents and 10 accidents happened last year in QM and PI respectively, but there are 200 staff in QM and only 100 staff in PI, it seems that the problem in PI is even more serious. Thus, efforts to abate the number of accidents will seem somewhat unnecessary.
Even if the on-the-job accidents in QM is more of a problem, another questionable assumption that it is fatigue that causes the accidents is included. Whereas fatigue is likely to give rise to accidents, it is entirely possible that some other factors may lead to accidents. Specifically, employees' unskillfulness, decrepitude of the equipment, and distractedness of workers can all result in accidents when working. If accidents are in fact not result from the fatigue and lack of sleep among workers, reducing accidents by shortening work shifts will be unjustified. To make his argument more cogent, it is advisable for the arguer to exclude other reasons for the on-the-job accidents.
Further, the author believes that workers will get adequate sleep if work shifts are shortened. Unfortunately, he unfairly assumes that employees will definitely take a sleep during this time. Conversely, some of the workers may chat, joke or play computer games during the period when the vice president hope they can catch up on sleep. Worse still, the noise they generate could disrupt others' sleep. The author may plan to make some rules and regulations to force staff to sleep, but we do not know. If the author provide information about how he could ensure all employees to sleep, his argument will be strengthened.
It appears that the arguer is concerned about t.he condition of Quiot Manufacturing, and his measures are likely to be effective. Nevertheless, before change the duration of work shifts, it might be wise to collect more information about the severity, the cause of the on-the-job accidents and possible consequences of the recommendation.
