[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 577233, member: 927"] Tired: I think everyone is disappointed when systems don't do everything that is touted. Often however, the cause is not the system but the maturity of the center team. For instance, I can give my someone Microsoft Excel and tell him about the virtues of using spreadsheets. Unless that person understands basic math concepts and sees value in the the detailed analysis, he won't get any benefit. You said that management would manipulate the numbers to show benefit when there was none. All I can say is that I've seen meticulous analysis on results, including DPS and PAS. While it didn't get everything expected, the results were still good overall. You also implied that you won't believe the answer but I thought I'd try.... As far as our name goes, did anyone explain to you why the decision was made to change to UPS? It was not to say that we would not deliver small parcels. It was to say that that's not all we do. If we are going to grow (and its the CEO's job to set us on that track), we can't limit ourselves to only small package. Eskew said that we can't be a global logistics company and have a package in our logo. The vision is to become a global leader in logistics. IBM used to be International Business Machines. NCR was National Cash Register. P-Man [/QUOTE]
