![]() ![]() We have Just In Time management (which we used to call lots of names). It is better for both nodes and ultimately the whole system. Everyone knew their place in the machine but today the machine is changing rapidly and some people experience anxiety. Most things from the past are distribution and control. They don't want to "be gone", so they seek new functions, sadly not all of them positive. (For dysfunctional people, distribution is also called "control") This causes intermediate nodes to have no useful function and be exposed. IMO, what the internet is doing, is disrupting the distribution networks we comfortably grew up with. Now with the internet, there is no single human being that can do that. ![]() We call that politics, or dsyfunction, or many other words, but the truth is the very very large systems are so complex now that very few people can even understand the new issues between nodes. The extremely large systems actually have nodes actively and sometimes covertly attacking the system. Two people have perhaps three relationships, and three people have perhaps 8. Speaking theoretically now, the more nodes in a system, the more chance for a problem or to say it differently the more complexity exists. The problem is not merely communication IMO. BTW, my boss worshiped me - a bad thing since I am only human (shortage of robots and all that). (We will make it up on volume.) There are different goals sometimes in large company roles. It is an ethics issue and there is no politics in small companies. ![]() (He was an alcoholic unfortunately but a wonderful man.) We never spoke again and I built them trying to build as cheaply as I could. What price did you sell them at? He came me the number and I told him our costs would be about 100 dollars above that figure. My boss (salesman) ran in all excited and announced that he had a PO for 30 boxes which I was to design and manufacture. In my first job, I designed systems in a tiny micro company. Lack of communication is whats wrong with businesses and relationships. One would think that a company like Webroot, who deals in SECURITY !!!! would have their poop together, and have the brains to inform EVERYONE of whats coming down the pipe line. Ultimately due to the lack of communication between all departments involved, many jobs ran beyond their due dates.That of course resulted in lost revenue due to charge backs and late fees. Some of these contracts ran into the millions of dollars. I'm talking about huge jobs like Banks and Brokerage Houses and Department Stores. The Finishing Department is the last group of people to touch a job before it goes out the door, they need to know what EVERY other Department is planning. Even without communicating with each Department to find out the work load they would just go ahead and give out a completion date to the client. As a manager / supervisor of a Finishing Department so many problems would arise because the sales team would promise the client the World. During those years Ive been a manager, a supervisor, an Owner and a grunt. Your all welcome !! I recently retired after 35 years in the Wood Finishing Trades.
