It's only as good as the data input. Bear in mind there will come a point when the Management will decide to try something else due to the bad news, bad productivity, bad management of resources etc. The last project (I quit) it was determined the construction plan was stupid, so they ash canned it and wanted another schedule in 12 hrs.???. It took months of work to develop our first construction plan based of timed delivery of the units to site and safe, good, standard work practices<br />They build these programs to be living documents so you can trend and forecast.<br /> No one likes to be told their productivity sucks but with good records you can show the forensic judge, "See here in April we had a foot of rain." <br />Time really is money!<br />"Run to fail is not management."<br />Polimathpolimathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-82918484191900743822021-11-19T13:55:04.246-05:002021-11-19T13:55:04.246-05:00The thing I found ironic is that huge amounts of r...The thing I found ironic is that huge amounts of resources were poured into populating the database and almost no effort into USING that data to solve problems.<br /><br />It is like paying the money but not picking up the package of steaks off the counter and walking out the door with them.<br /><br />I saw the same issue with "weld spills". There was one area that chronically generated discrepant welds at about 20X the shop base-rate. I might as well have been speaking Swahili when trying to point out that current practice was not sufficient for that area.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-48210708369885093722021-11-19T10:44:03.974-05:002021-11-19T10:44:03.974-05:00Maximo 7, I use it daily.

That thing is a complex data hog, but you get out what you put in, and it can set you up for failure if not well thought out. <br /><br />Sorry to hear the situation at the facility, a close relative of mine is an OT, and is seeing this all over.Gromithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749008476160755430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-8444759312782029752021-11-19T10:23:21.517-05:002021-11-19T10:23:21.517-05:00When your loved ones enter the medical system, you...When your loved ones enter the medical system, you <i>must</i> take on the role of protector/defender if they can't do it themselves. Make sure you have Medical Powers of Attorney, make sure their directives are in place. We maintain a complete medical file on my mom and walk with it. I do the same for myself. Hard experience has proven (more than a handful of times, for me) that records do not get faxed or couriered reliably and that doctors do not talk with each other. Count on it being a shambles and come prepared. YOU have to be the Ringmaster of the Circus.Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089648434324058300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-13162655574577160912021-11-19T07:41:10.961-05:002021-11-19T07:41:10.961-05:00Over the past 10 years I have been involved in sev...Over the past 10 years I have been involved in several very serious medical issues regarding my in-laws, my self, and a few others. The level of incompetency is downright scary. Piss poor communication and scheduling, gross mismanagement of conflicting medicine prescriptions, etc. If you are in the position of watching out for the medical processes of others you really have to be attentive and do research. 5 years ago when the VA determined I had contracted Hep C 40 years prior through the massive amounts of air-shots I had received over seas and that they were going to cure me, I had to almost become a virologist to understand what they were going to put me through. 5 years later I am still alive. ghostsniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644187165818782984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-13741594693202794462021-11-19T00:03:33.300-05:002021-11-19T00:03:33.300-05:00Nail polish?
