What does it mean for end of line production figures compared to outlay of the system?

To my understanding it doesnt improve productivity its only a streamlining process.Tell me more if any one knows?

If your streamlining a process then it has to be consuming less time, otherwise it's not being streamlined. Therefore less time spent on the 'paper/thoery' side means more time for the product/output side.

It does help with outlay because you don't need to be like those movies and triple through many filing cabinets to find what you need, now you just click and go. It's the same as the systems there putting through hospitals these days.

Obviously it requires alot of very complex programming to setup the parameters so it doesnt spit out nonsense.

For Example, lets say you are Holden and want to build 50,000 cars by the end of 2009. You would program this as an outcome and then program in lead times, resources manpower etc. It will spit out how much cheap tin to buy from asia, how many plastic baubles to buy from the reject shop, and how many people with poor hand eye coordination you will require to build the car, along with all the timelines and automated reminders of when to perform actions and warnings when the actions arent met on time.

oh.... my sides, my sides!!

Good luck Craig, I imagine it was one of the hardest things to decide on, hope you settle in well.... the words Mustang, shelby & cobra, big block come to mind for some reason.

In Vegas, they have people handing out business cards on the strip for this...

What are your initial thoughts on the food? Huge servings and full of sugar/fat? Have you tried bread from the supermarket yet? The sourdough bread is the closest you are going to get to what we have back here. It's amazing that you can leave a loaf of bread out of the freezer for a number of weeks and it doesn't go stale! Found out where you can buy Vegemite yet?

Hahaha i noticed that when i was there last year, quite funny, i have a collection of about 30 diffrent cards in my room.

Hated the food when i was in the US, dont think i'd be able to live there either. Although the cars are cheap.

How hard is the green card side of things? I'm guessing you had the job lined up before you applied?

Care to do something different? Say, be a lacky in a winery? I did it with the wife in '03 in California.

http://www.bibber.com.au/

They prefer people who have winery experience, but some do take on people with none, as was the case with me.
