[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 673173, member: 927"] You know, there certainly is truth to the thought that in our business there is a limit to continuous improvement. After moving to my current house, my commute to work continually improved for a while. I learned traffic patterns, new ways to get to work and how to avoid rush hour. I even learned how far above the speed limit I could go. Today, no matter what, I will not improve my commute. It is at it absolute limit. However, many on this board including you seem to have an even poorer proposition. And that is one that says there is no way to measure improvement. I've heard the argument that: SPORH is not a good measure NDPPH is not a good measure Over / under is not a good measure SEAS is not a good measure Cost statements are not a good measure Even combining them all into a Balanced Scorecard is not a good measure So, while I agree that one cannot continuously improve forever there must be a measure of current state even if its flawed. How can you simultaneously tell me that I am overdispatching, and then tell me there is no way to measure the dispatch. I don't believe in giving every kid in school an A and I don't believe that we can survive as an organization without a measurement system. I'm sure people will have fun with this one. P-Man [/QUOTE]
