PERPORMANCE EVALUATION OF W. b FPUCKETT.

It is necessary to document and clarify numerous considerations which have been germane to the Performance Evaluation of Mr. Puckett. In this regard, the requirement for additional information and supporting clarification re-lative to the subject evaluation warrants the writing of this letter.

On October 5, 1981. I assumed the position of Project We'1 ding Manager at the

'l Wm. H. Zimmer Nuclear site. During my first week, which I dedicated to just observing the welding operation, it was readily apparent that the inplace.

UK Welding organisation (which consisted of one Welding Engineer. two en-gineering aids, and one clerk) was in dire need of additional qualified per-sonnel, primarily Welding Engineers. A proposal was developed, presented to the Project Manager, and was subsequently approved. The proposal was for expansion of the Weld Engineering Organisation. During the reorganizational process Mr. Puckett continued to direct the department with vary little in--

put from myself. I greatly appreciated this convenience, for I found it nee-essary to continue in the role ~as an observer in order to properly reconstruct and develop the required organisation. My reorganisation efforts are, at this time, being concluded. This reorganisation is now directly involving Mr. Puckett.

In this regard. I would like the following pertinent facts to be placed on Mr.

Puckett's record.

1.

Mr. Puckett is an exceptionally industrious worker.

2.

Mr. Puckett has developed and fosters a very good rapport with all individuals who report to him.

3.

Mr. Puckett's attitudes and responses to guidance and super-vision from his supervisor within the Welding Department (i.e. syself) is, for all practical purposes, faultless.

4.

Mr. Puckett's ability. knowledge, and understanding of general welding methodologies and techniques is exceptional.

CONVERSELY. HOWEVER; 1.

Mr. Puckett has, on occasion. experienced some degree of dis-sention with supervisory personnel of other UK departments and the client.

2.

Mr. Puckett. because of the extensive workload that he has handled since 1979, has not been able to keep up with the

.,' *..PERPORMANCE EVALUAI i 0F W. O. PUCKETT April 20. 1932 P se -2 3.

Mr. Puckett, because of his lack of up-to-date education applicable

' t, to welding of Nuclear Power-related systema, is on the verge of losing credibility and the respect of his peers in the Welding and Quality Assurance Organisations.

In consideration of the proceeding facts and evaluations. I have deemed it necessary to laterally shift Mr. Puckett out of the position as Project Weld-ing Engineer. I realise Mr. Puckett may take exception tc this move. as he may consider it a form of demotion. It is not to be considered a demotion in any sense. I expect Mr. Puckett to benefit from this reorganisation in the following ways:

1.

Mr. Puckett will have a "well-deserved breather" from the extensive mental and physical pressures which he has so adequately addressed himself to when he assumed those re-sponsibilities in 1979.

2.

Mr. Puckett will be able to bring himself up-to-date with

~

the current status and requirements of the Nuclear Power Plant-related codes and standards.

3.

Mr. Puckett will be able to observe, first hand, the application of the current Nuclear-related codes and standards and will Amensely benefit from the experiences and approaches implemented by his peers in the Welding Organisation.

~'

In summary. it is my opinion that Mr. Puckett has discharged his duties since 1979 in a superlative asaner. Mr. Puckett has demonstrated an exceptional I

administrative ability and has shown promising higher management potential.

In this regard, it is of great advantage to all concerned (especially Mr.

Puckett) to effect the subject organisational change so that Mr. Puckett asy have the opportunity to taprove himself in the areas shown on the subject Performance Evaluation.
