I think it's good food for thought. What the top ten are, can always be debated of course, but imo you have chosen well I might suggest ending every point with a punchline, a "do" or something. You already have them, but they would make a bigger impact that way (all imo, of course).

Craig - a very good list & article as always. I regret to say I can identify more than half of them with my current employer - I've tried pointing out the reasons not to do things that way, and have basically been told I don't know what I'm talking about. (Obviously, I'm exhibiting a bit of frustration/sour grapes syndrome )

Claes - don't feel too bad. We're also getting hit with our first snow of the year and I'm sure that we're much further south than you are. Our plant is near Johnstown, PA about 1 and 1/2 hours east of Pittsburgh, PA. My main references to Sweden are Hoganas and Halmstad, plus some of the larger cities near Hoganas - what relationship does Eskiltuna have to them in distance/direction?

Nice piece, Craig. You make some significant points, and it's all good advice. I ran across a few typos, all in the first two pages (it's the inspector in me, I guess ). See the highlights in the attachment.
