ngakonui grass Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Anybody been unlucky enough to be using the new SISTEMA containers. The old ones clipped from the bottom on to the lid.The new invention clips the lid onto the bottom,consequently every time you open them the clips come off as you have to use a bit of force to open them.Pretty minor in the scheme of things but it annoys the s...t out of me.

Hesi Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Very cynical PJ Having headed up the new product development division for a large multinational, the focus was always on what the customer thought, quality was always paramount We spent millions on Usage and Attitude consumer research This has a parallel in the racing industry in NZ, where very little consumer research has been done on the views of the hoi polloi towards racing, the strengths and weaknesses and therefore how things could be improved Those in charge seem to think they know best. That sort of approach in business, would see you being shown the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those companies that strive for excellence - hey I work for one of those - and a good deal who don't. One of the reasons we are number one is due to more intensive research than our competitors. I know because I do a lot of that research.

Maximus Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Hey PJ how about doing some research for Maxi? Interested in the stallion Telperion and wondering what female lines would cross the best with him, in your opinion ...

Best lines for this horse would be anything with Shamardal in the pedigree. Mares by sons of Shamardal such as Lope de Vega, Puissance de Lune, Captain Sonador, Ghibellines or Shamoline Warrior should be ideal. The other tried and true method for success is breeding back into the stallion's damline so in the case of Telperion mares by Thorn Park or Ego or something that his Christmas Tree on the damline would be highly suitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been an appliance repair expert on gas equipment for a long time, I did notice that they became flimsier and flimsier. As one technician from one of the many brands I dealt with explained , two less screws holding it together without affecting its integrity extrapolated out to thousands saved at the end of the line, sometimes hundreds of thousands.

Maximus Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The owners had to recover the huge cost of paying out the Lindsays somehow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngakonui grass Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 IMO they overpaid for it and it is my guess that as soon as the 10 year restriction on locating to the states is up they will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
