After two quarters of increasing levels of product

After two quarters of increasing levels of product, the CEO of Canadian Fabrication & Design was upset to learn that, during this time of expansion, productivity of the newly hired sheet metal workers declined with each new worker hired. Believing that the new workers were either lazy or inefficiently supervised (or possibly both), the CEO instructed the shop foreman to crack down on the new workers to bring their productivity levels up. Using production theory, carefully explain why it might be that no amount of cracking down can increase worker productivity at CF&D.
