Techniques Miro Spacek Uses:
[] Start with the upper management to determine their perceived goals and document them.
[] Work with the administration to determine current methods and start a plan, including a "wish list" of measurable objectives.
[] Determine the KPI factors as goal posts in progress.
[] Document absolutely everything.
[] Create tests to prove the further development along given lines.
[] Fine tune the process.
[] Verify goals are met.
[] Create extensive documentation at the systems level.
[] Create user manuals for staff.

Miro Spacek's Problem Solving Experience:
- At Northern College, working as a programmer Analyst, I wrote the specifications of the interface necessary to integrate the I.B.M. AS/400 database system to a teaching/scheduling/timetables/rooms/campus' system written by a third party. Then I wrote the interface code and successfully tested the system over two consecutive semesters.
- I developed a computerized equipment maintenance system at the Agrium Mine site in Northern Ontario. It displayed the work done and compared it to the manufacturer's scheduling. It used machine stats collected to determine up-coming inventory requirements for just in time ordering. It determined the parts, personnel, tools and time required to schedule and complete maintenance tasks. To my knowledge the software was used in the United States (coal mine), Canada (phosphate mine) and Mexico (gold mine).
- I wrote the complete system for the forestry industry to determine the total cost of production on a per unit basis. A common data pool was designed which collected data from recycled energy from steam co-generation (PI system), materials in and out (Felix system), H/R and payroll (Ulys system) and general accounting (J.D.Edwards). The relationships of these systems into a single source, time synchronized database allowed management to adjust for issues in a timely manner. The system sent emails of the previous 24 hours stats to each of the department heads with data pertinent to that department.
- While as chief pilot for the Civil Air Search And Rescue in Northern Ontario for twenty years, I wrote a complete system to print out flight plans for the pilot and navigator in a search environment. The system created checkpoints, calculated fuel requirements, printed reports of speeds and positions. This was all based on crew weights, fuel burn, center of gravity calculations, temperature and winds in real time.
