[QUOTE="soberups, post: 710002, member: 14668"] Telematics creates dozens of new measurements. If we can measure it...we will manage it. The more there is to measure...the more there is to manage. And the more there is to manage...the more management people we will need to manage it. Any perceived savings gained by the new system will be negated by the endless reams of paper reports that we will be micromanaged with. We spent a bunch of money on Telematics, and that expense must be justified. The easiest way to justify something is to [I]create [/I]a metric...[I]track[/I] it...and [I]manipulate[/I] it. If you can convince enough people that the metric matters...you have just created an "improvement" and you can justify your job by taking credit for that "improvement". Whether or not that metric means anything in the real world is irrelevant. Its not what you accomplish that gets you promoted at UPS, its how good you look on paper pretending to accomplish it.
