I can't tell you how many times some goofball has patched a perfectly operating system, only to find out that the patch wasn't researched enough and ended up introducing fatal flaws and days of customer outage....If it ain't broke! Don't Fix it!


As chief "meddlesome twat" overseeing a process that clears $1M profit per day I say piffle and poppycock (well to some extent anyway) [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Of course there are times when you need to settle the plant down and hold on to the process sweetspot, but celebrate your variability too for it is that which can be learnt from. Always seek to improve your knowledge of cause and effect. The past 2 months is a costly lesson to our plant that you shouldn't just expect anything to change in your historical relationships.
