"PERFORM High Impact Engineering Assessment & Evaluation Methodology"
by
David W. Camper
• Featured in Solid Solutions Magazine Jan/Feb. 2002

           The PERFORM methodology was developed in response to the need for a meaningful engineering assessment and evaluation tool and to aid engineering personnel in their pursuit of high impact improvement. PERFORM is based on the ability to filter out the trite and focus on the causal effects of time wasting symptoms that pervade engineering environments. This straightforward methodology guides the user through simplistic and methodical procedures in an effort to come to clear and effective conclusions.
