091701 - Ed has read the NWO paper. ref OF 1, and the report on 951009 about
091702 - tire problems at S&C, ref SDS 2 9653, which was linked to my letter,
091703 - ref DIP 3, sent to S&C on 951106, ref SDS 11 0866, which Charles Morri
091704 - forwarded to Ed in his letter, ref DRP 6, shown in the record on

091706 -
091707 - Ed gathered that my inquiry was about getting ISO certification for
091708 - S&C Ford.  He said Ford does not plan to have its satallite service
091709 - agencies become ISO registered.
091710 -
091711 - I said the objective is to improve earnings at Ford by improving
091712 - communications and management.
091713 -
091714 - ISO is mentioned to show emerging awareness that sound management
091715 - practices give organizations the best chance to improve earnings.
091716 -
091717 - But, as Ed knows, in today's business climate, there is not enough
091718 - time to apply them consistently, as explained in the paper.  This
091719 - leads to continual frustration and losses at Ford and its service
091720 - agencies, as Charles Mori cited on 951031. ref SDS 7 0896
091721 -
091722 - Ed's productivity, that of his boss and all of their colleagues at

091724 - Communication Metrics, ref OF 1 2864, for the reasons set out in the
091725 - paper. ref OF 1 1675
091726 -
091727 - I explained I have another call from IBM on solving an internet
091728 - problem, ref SDS 16 7333, and will call him back to discuss improving
091729 - Ford management futher.
