Subject: Subject Index Methodology

Dear Morris,

Thanks for taking the time to work on subject indexing, per your letter at 1403.

Analysis in the record today concurs with your point that using the SDS subject index requires putting subjects in an index based on knowledge structures, like a schedule, that commonly occur in management. Budgets, contracts, specs, policy and guideline manuals, indeed, anything used to guide or control the work, becomes a subject for tracking alignment with requirements, objectives and commitments.

A Communication Manager maintains the garden of knowledge, as shown in the analysis of your letter.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
