hb, Many people think backwards like this. I know several manufacturing companies that struggle to make it because they use the wrong unit of measure. Case in pt, the very first job I had as an engineer at a printed circuit manu, they booked the shop based on $$ not panels. They had know idea what their real costs were, just make sure they had X dollars in the shop per wk/mth. These guys don't care about what is really happening, just that it looks good...

hb, paradigm paralysis - a terminal disease of certainty. we are lucky if alan.com has paradigm paralysis as opposed to economic self interestitis. in my previous example, the boss' rifees should be able to go out and help someone else generate revenue since they aren't needed at their prior job. this SHOULD increase economic (read - REAL) gdp. however, IT HASN'T. at least not much. i'm in on the technical side of production management. this bs reminds me of what a qa manager called aqc. spc is statistical process control. aqc is anecdotal process control. it w/b funny if it didn't drive so many business processes... into the ground!
