Jimmy- It wasn't me!
-History lesson, cliff notes version. I THOUGHT the standard "go no go" was 50 pounds. In other words, when we got a request for adjustment we ran the numbers and if it was within 50, it was left alone. So, the net deviation in any class was 100. I didn't love that, but hey, you fight your battles, and all that.
Then, recently, it's become apparent that it's actually 100. Clearly, something morphed or I just was confused. I guess I thought when they said"within a hundred" I though they were talking "net".
I HATE the 100 pound "go/no go" test.
So, yea, Greg's system is talking (and I understand it's just an 'example') of taking an additional 100 pounds off cars, which i think IS a big deal. And I mean that from both perspectives. If it deserves (for whatever reason) 100 pounds off, it should get 100. but if it doesn't, it sure shouldn't get it.
I'm a guy who thinks that if we have a repeatable process, and keep good records, that when a request comes in to run the process on a car we will have three possible outcomes:
1- Run it. Result is the same as it currently sits. Document.
2- Run it. Result varies because it hasn't been through the process.
Adjust. Document.
3- Run it. Result varies from current weight, which was processed post GR, due to errors/omissions. Investigate, determine if error is current info or past, and if approriate, adjust. Document.
