I know what you mean, but I do have faith in things getting better, if the current initiatives go ahead. I'll believe them when I see them, especially these glamorous new systems IT are proposing. I just wish everything could be as straightforward as the production team manage to make it - what they're proposing is so practical that it's bound to go through, while the rest of us are sitting around, considering every possible aspect and application, and drawing up endless finance projections. Time will tell. I must say, I'm not entirely happy about the way things are going. No? Well, I just don't think information is being handled very well - it's a skill that's neglected here. We have, in theory at least, a good team system, but we still end up running late at crucial stages on many projects simply due to our own over-elaborate processes - which, in terms of quality and efficiency, is clearly far from ideal.
