[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 215273, member: 1912"] my list: HFCS - good TFCS- better , why isn't there one system that does both. Diad - loved it, I had too many visits from the sheet writing committee due to my sloppy handwriting. computer- love- I can type, copy and paste with the best of them. Network security - hate it. I have to remember so many passwords. I think we now have an issue with end user security. Some systems do not allow you to repeat any of the last 24 passwords you used. With all the different systems we use you then tend to either write them all down or you use the same password system for all such as the month and year. One thing that would help would be a global login for all systems. email- has its beni's its become a vehicle to eliminate good person to person communication. Send an email and forget about it. cell phone - thank god my drivers have them, wish my bosses didn't. With the cell phone I'm never off work. Voice mail.- used to be great then we cut costs to a cheaper system that is not user friendly requiring the memorization of many different commands. missing technology - gps for feeders - guide the drivers to point b and give me the ability to tell a customer that the driver is pulling down his street as we speak. gps would have to be feeder specific since you can't pull a tractor trailer down every street. gps for trailers - equipment tracking and balance is the biggest headache feeders has. Outlying centers don't have live inbound and outbound activity so you rely on someone inbounding live loads which works but its tough to get a center to give you good on property information for the empties. I wonder how many trailers we lose each year for one reason or another. barcode scanning of tractors and trailers for feeders - eliminate inbound errors and key punch errors due to miscommunication by scanning the trailers when they arrive or depart. improved engineering of our vehicles and buildings to improve heating and venilation Group user ID's. Many office groups share the same forms. Its getting more and more difficult to share them between users as the network security gets tighter. Info library - great tool to help you write reports that identify service issues. Problem as lifer said is we have too many access guru's generating too many reports that are overwhelming the managers. A manager can easily spend a couple of hours going through his emails, analyzing the information and responding to the requests for more information from up above. These reports or our systems need to take the next step where the analyzed information is used to give you specific ways you can improve. A good example is SEAS. Terrific first step. However in the case of many scan and link issues you have to have a doctors in geekology to identify why the packages did not link properly.
