[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 930764, member: 766"] Let's say that I'm the plant manager at Spacely Sprockets. Based on historical data (dating back to the time before flying cars became a thing), my plant has had a 3% rejection rate when the sprockets reached the QA department and the infamous Inspector 12. Yeah, [I]that[/I] one...some headhunter pulled her out of Hanes when senior management had a burr under its collective saddle about a recall a few years back. (So now, they don't say, "Spacely" until [I]she[/I] says they say "Spacely.") Anyway, since replacing the guy who got fired over the recall, I've initiated a number of ideas in an attempt to improve on that failure rate, but thus far, the number has remained pretty constant. For now, am I [I]conceding[/I] the 3% shrinkage? Or [I]forecasting[/I] it? (Side note: Inspector 12 is actually a pretty nice old lady; after a cup of egg nog, she's a riot at the annual Christmas party. But on the job, she's a tough old broad.) [/QUOTE]
