| 6.1 | Quality Changes? | DELNI::JONG | Steve Jong/NaC Pubs | Mon Apr 27 1987 11:07 | 6 |
| The Quality Program at Honeywell has been redirected. Where quality
once was formally defined as "conformance to requirements," it is
now defined as customer satisfaction. That sounds, I think, like
the Digital definition.

| 6.2 | Move news? | EXODUS::KRISHNASWAMY | | Mon Apr 27 1987 16:17 | 5 |
| Anyone know if our friends are moving (to Andover or other parts)
or staying where they are? Last I knew, the move to Andover was
cancelled due to stupidity and avarice on the part of the managers
of the plant in Andover.

| 6.3 | Nothing recent | ULTRA::KINDEL | Bill Kindel | Mon Apr 27 1987 16:59 | 9 |
| I think a lot of the incentive was lost when Honeywell was unable
to sell (and take advantage of the old capital gains handling of)
200 Smith St by the end of 1986.
It also seemed a bit odd to me that Bull would put up with such a major
change in the value of the company it was buying into. Between that
and some truly incredible estimates for the costs of setting up labs at
Andover to replace the ones in Billerica (8 figures), the move faded
rather quickly.

| They decided not to move to Andover when someone had the smarts
to count the number of employees who would have a longer drive to
Andover. When they counted (after announcing all this in the papers),
they discovered that 70per cent would have to drive farther. I
did not hear anything interesting about avarice--e Frankovich
