131001 - ..
131002 - Rudy Boznak who authors this article, seems to have experience in
131003 - helping executives automate their management practice, ref OF 3 line
131004 - 10, and so may be open to evaluating SDS and POIMS technology.
131006 - ..
131007 - To improve "competitiveness" Boznak at ref OF 3 line 129, calls for
131008 - three things:
131009 -
131010 - 1. Operationalizing principals of product development
131011 - 2. Efficient product development process
131012 - 3. Effective multi-project management capability
131014 - ..
131015 - The focus on PDP is supported by the article at ref SDS 7 line 141110.
131017 - ..
131018 - Boznak contends:
131019 -
131020 - Manufacturing executives have difficulty implementing
131021 - "approaches necessary to compete into the 21st century."
131022 - ref OF 3 9Q3G
131024 - ..
131025 - Executives must be the facilitators and integrators of business
131026 - knowledge and business practice by applying TQM, re-engineering,
131027 - empowered teams, and simultaneous engineering. ref OF 3 9169
131028 -
131029 - This echos Van Kasper's call for a "Information
131030 - Revolution," reviewed on 931008. ref SDS 4 2526
131031 -
131032 - ...these prescriptions seem to call for SDS and POIMS technology.
131034 - ..
131035 - Boznak's position that there are no "quick fixes" or "silver bullet"
131036 - technologies, or turnkey technologies on the horizon, and
131037 - competitiveness can only be achieved by "renewed understanding of the
131038 - basics of the business, product development," ref OF 3 010V, is
131039 - only partially correct.
131041 - ..
131042 - There is a "quick fix" for the core problem of bumbling caused by
131043 - continual misunderstandings and miscommunications in constant
131044 - meetings, calls, and emails. Adding a system of metrics into the
131045 - communication stream using 8-steps provides an audit trail to align
131046 - daily work with objectives, requirements, and commitments, explained
131047 - in POIMS. ref OF 1 685K
131049 - ..
131050 - POIMS is a "turnkey technology" for changing bad management to
131051 - consistently use good management, ref OF 1 YZ4I, by supporting the
131052 - intelligence process of plan, perform, and report. ref OF 1 6649
131054 - ..
131055 - Should send Rudy information on SDS.

160702 - This is an article at ref OF 13 line 10 on using the IBM program-
160703 - ming language, REXX, which may come in handy if we want to create some
160704 - OS2 applications.
160706 - ..
160707 - REXX is more than a DOS batch utility, ref OF 13 line 18, it is an
160708 - intrepreted programming language, ref OF 13 line 27, that runs faster
160709 - than expected because the OS2 interpreter stores a tokenized version
160710 - of the program in thc file's extended attributes. It's like a partial
160711 - compile that improves the execution speed for subsequent runs, ref OF
160712 - 13 line 92.

180602 - The article at ref OF 15 line 12 seems mainly intended to sell the
180603 - viability of OS2 in the business market, by offering opinions of
180604 - "Systems Integrators," independent experts who recommend and install
180605 - systems for business. Much of the article consists of comments that
180606 - OS2 was selected over NT.
180608 - ..
180609 - Worldwide installed base of 148M OS are comprised of DOS/Windows,
180610 - 81%, Unix 17%, AS/400 1%, ref OF 15 line 23.
180612 - ..
180613 - Mainframe usage costs more than client/server technology using PC
180614 - workstations, ref OF 15 line 70.
180616 - ..
180617 - The article cites following OS2 advantages:
180618 -
180619 - IBM's big company installed base, ref OF 15 line 46.
180620 - OS2 leads NT, ref OF 15 line 43, ref OF 15 line 83
180621 - Multi-tasking, ref OF 15 line 58
180622 - User Interface is friendly
180623 - Reliability of Product
180624 - OS2 enduring existence
180625 - Unix is resisted as a PC workstation, ref OF 15 line 79
180626 - Flexibility on range of programs, ref OF 15 line 206

180631 - One of the SI worked on converting Sears staffers from mainframe to PC
180632 - workstations when Sears moved from the Sears Tower in Chicago to
180633 - Hoffman Estates, and included a 3 day training session while swapping
180634 - out terminals for PC's, ref OF 15 line 239.
180635 -
180636 - "The most difficult challenge was cultural... It was far more
180637 - than an installation of technology. It really was a new way of
180638 - thinking and doing business."
180640 - ..
180641 - This is the essence of the challenge of SDS, multiplied by about
180642 - 100, because we are changing the people who decided to make the
180643 - change. It is easier for them to change others than it is for
180644 - themselves.
