Some projects, when you get the business to leave the project from a productivity measure, what they really show is reduction in headcount or performance increase in terms of how many units they are going to increase in terms of manufacturing. That tends to be a lot more easily justifiable from an investment perspective. | |

Abe; But you can't measure the interaction between two people walking down the corridor and snapping an idea. |  |
