[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 989625, member: 31608"] Your insight is appreciated, as I am in a small part of the machine that is UPS; and to think that I am privy to all the details/realities of how it works would be foolhardy. In my small slice of heaven, it is not clear that Operations still runs Operations; when we miss SPC (or other metric), it is a massive concern where people have to defend their jobs; IE, in so far as we can tell, does not have to defend to us (the people who execute the plan) why the plan to be executed was wrong. Now, don't misunderstand me, I understand a little "offness" here and there is to be expected; when the plan is wrong we have to defend our jobs - but when the plan is wrong and IE doesn't have to defend theirs, there is an acidic effect on morale, effort, and "understanding". When I'm full-time, and have more exposure to the next echelon of how things really work, I will undoubtedly see things differently. Such is the nature of things, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
