The cost to you
Before you consider the cost to you or your organisation, consider this;
Charles Steinmetz was once called out of retirement by General Electric to help them locate a problem in an intricate system of complex machines. Having spent some time tinkering with and testing various parts of the system, he finally placed a chalk-marked 'X' on a small component in one machine. GE's engineers promptly examined the component, and were amazed to find the defect in the precise location of Steinmetz's mark. Some time later, GE received an invoice from the wily engineer - for $10,000. Incredulous, they protested the bill and challenged him to itemize it. Steinmetz did so: "Making one chalk mark: $1," he wrote. "Knowing where to place it: $9,999."
How much time and money would they have lost IF THEY DIDN'T get him IN!!
Hopefully I know where to put the "X" for you !, BUT NOT @ that cost :-)
Also quoted from Charles Steinmetz
"I have succeeded in getting my actual work down to thirty minutes a day. That leaves me eighteen hours for engineering"
Can you see the possibilties for getting your work done smarter and quicker.
Henry Ford once enlisted an efficiency expert to examine the operation of his company. While his report was generally favorable, the man did express reservations about a particular employee.
"It's that man down the corridor," he explained. "Every time I go by his office he's just sitting there with his feet on his desk. He's wasting your money." "That man," Ford replied, "once had an idea that saved us millions of dollars. At the time, I believe his feet were planted right where they are now."
Do you have an idea that may save you money and/or time ? Consider this if you saved time on automating a task by, say 1 hr a day thats 32 1/2 full working days a year you save your self.
