Don't be swayed by science by consensus and certainly not by hunches.  The reasonable ones are the most beguiling and perhaps need a second critical look, before you put your reputation on the line.  Learn how in my Industrial Problem Solving course that has been my favorite since I first taught it a decade ago.  The time for this AIMCAL Converting School hosted course is rapidly approaching.  So now is the time to start prepping the boss for some 'time off for good behavior' that will lead to even better behavior.
