Introduction
The right solution at the right time is our primary goal. Sometimes all
that is needed is another set of eyes to review a problem from a
different perspective.
Perhaps the solution is to measure in a different way the key parameters
that define the issues… plus have some fun along the way.
At Merlin Systems & Solutions we have found that our efforts are greatly enhanced
if we keep in mind three simple ideas.
- * 80 / 20 Rule – 80% of the results is due to 20% of the effort.
- * Occam's Razor – The Simpler Explanation is Usually Right.
- * Keep things as Simple as Possible, But no Simpler.
The judicious use of these rules together with common sense, years of experience,
hard work and a willingness to find the "Devil in the Details" allow the solving
of tough problems. Using these primary ideas a nearly infinite variety of solutions are made
possible. It is also important to recognize that many "technical problems"
are actually "people problems" hiding behind the technology.
