I use MBA as a generalization. one that is book smart but not rehersed in the task at hand. dont mean to be arogant but have had so many college degree's A holes try to tell me how to do my job in my 40 plus years experience. very few had a clew an end mill from a windmill. but they seem to run the show. and run it into the ground is what they have been empowered to do. I just want to be empowered to do my job with others in the most efficient manor possible. learn as situations arise and apply it. that is now frowned on as the MBA does not look good at that point and or does not get the collar for it. in 40 years I have worked with 2 managers that understood this (thats within 20 plus shops i have worked for). unfortunately those company's upper management did not get it or we would have moved mountains together with the team. we did some amazing things tho.
lean manufacturing is team top to bottom empowered to do what they do best and grow.

Yep but once it went through translation by all the MBA's turned into a shit show.

From my experience, it wasn't just the MBAs. At least out here, there are too many levels of management to filter through. Too many fingers in the pie.

They have an amazing manufacturing ecosystem, it could just be that they outgrew the demand..

I followed the suggestions they made for modifying my video card settings.
I am able to run the file all they way through and run AutoDif and measure Stock to Design.
If I do it slowly and give the machine time to catch up between actions it runs Ok.
If I start zooming and spinning around too fast with the SpacePilot, all the fans in my machine
start howling and within seconds, Vericut goes "poof"

This reminds me of all the Repugs saying "If a Dim had done this people would be outraged" except this is true. 

Funny, not in a funny way.

Talking to my customer again this morning. He's had at least four times where Vericut has crashed while in the same project. All these occurred whilst modifying something in the Tool Manager.

We are still running 9.5, but our salesman just stopped in so I asked about 9.7. He recommended waiting an update or two before upgrading.
