[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 286966, member: 1912"] The perverbial blue book. As part of rockys total service plan he also introduced the blue book to us. Called the blue book because they actually took one inch binders and had total service plan printed all over them in blue. The blue book is supposed to be managements reference guide for daily operating plan and results etc. The problem was that many management people already had the same information in their own books they had created usually with anywhere from 15 to 30 tab dividers. Many of us also had all this information in a book that was two to three inchs thick. So now we reinvent the wheel , create a blue book that is one third the size needed and that only has 5 dividers when at least 15 are needed to be organized. now comes micromanagement. we recieve memo's on what we are expected to keep in these books. Rocky has people assigned to do nothing but travel around the region to audit everyones blue book for completeness. pure micromanagement at its worst and a complete waste of time and money. If we are sincere about cost cutting then this is the first thing that should have gone. This was one of those emperor has no clothes deals. Everyone hated the blue books , thought it was a complete waste but no one had the guts to tell the emperor. The blue book had nothing to do with the tsp plan itself. That worked well. Rocky had the right idea there. You adjust and kick start the entire service cycle at the same time. Dude is right that worked well. the blue books on the other hand had no impact on tsp and was a complete waste of time and money. [/QUOTE]
