"Well ... if you've ever dealt with engineers before (and completely bypassing my "Native American" training that "walking away IS a vote") then you might also be aware of what happens when they are summarily dismissed ... it's called, "OK Genius." When they come to court after the collapse, they have ALL the necessary documentation. Can we say, "cold pour," boys and girls? :)"Sometimes yes, and sometimes not. Again, it depends. I've dealt with both kinds, so I don't assume the engineer is always the good guy or bad guy. "Beancounters and engineers in the same room do NOT make for a "team" ... intellectually it's all a Bronx handshake of data. Beancounters are looking to cut costs ... engineers in practice SINCE "efficiency experts" and "cost/benefit ratios" already HAVE that stuff in their CAD/CAM packages " No, they don't. CAD/CAM is very helpful but it doesn't replace a good cost accountant. Sometime when you're not in an ornery mood and feel like learning something, look up the Harvard Business Review story on the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and see what the cost accountants did for the doctors and patients there. There was a hell of a lot of teamwork going on there. Oh, and read up on Alan Mullaly and the 777 project, since you appear unfamiliar with what CAD/CAM does ad does NOT do. "Go ask that testing lab about Junkee Stadium" You'll find crooks everywhere. Don't "diss" engineers by painting them with that brush. "I tend to be right more often than not" You screwed this one up. Better get some more batting practice. |
