"The most prevalent inadequacy found in our audits is the failure to recognize that timely production of high quality components requires almost infinite capacity for painstaking care and attention to detail by all elements of the organization, both management and non-management.”
--'The Never Ending Challenge', 44th Annual National Metals Congress, New York, 29 October 1962
I'm a life-long reader and generally clock about 1200 hours/year online and the old analog book things. After over 3/4 century, I've developed advanced CRS and if I don't write things down, they evaporate.
That's great! And so appropriate to come from someone like an auditor that's getting paid for it. That must have been a creative mind to come up with that.
From 1962? Well, that makes me feel a little better. If we've been dealing with those 'troubles' since at least then, we're probably still going to be able to cope.
If CRS is what I think it is, sorry to see that it's advanced. I think my whole family lives with it. We keep 3M in the black, I'm sure. (post-it-notes EVERYWHERE) My Mom always said a sure-fire way to remember something or where something was left, is to go look in the fridge. That's obviously 'something or somewhere else' than what I wanted to remember, and while there, it should come to me.
Short description is that my mind is like an infinite number of scraps of paper in a wind tunnel (true Random Access Memory) and sometimes I can just snatch the thought out of the maelstrom immediately or in 20 minutes or 2 days. Like you, I have notes on paper, but very few post-it-notes, just two piles on either side of my monitor stand for immediate and for long term, a "Quotes" file, and to do and appts. is MS Outlook.
Military, manufacturing, educational mgmt, then back to manufacturing.
740 pages?! WOW!
If it's manufacturing, you may like this one:
