...eam 4 Case #4 Armco, Inc.: Midwestern Steel Division 1. The old performance measurement system had the following problems: - It did not provide information on the product mix being produced.

Therefore, time lag would not allow the managers to take immediate corrective actions. - It did not measure Key Performance Index (KPIs’) for each department. - The system did not highlight data that was outside the norm. - Between 1985 – 1989, Melt Shop man-hours (MH) have been reduced by 20.4% but $/NT has only reduced by 8.4% - Reports generated by the system had too much information and not easy to read. The melt shop report (Exhibit 3) alone had 46 separate expense categories. Gary Downey, the melting shop manager, acknowledged that “some of the items were quite small in dollar value.” - The system did not provide information on bottlenecks related to the melt shop. - The system also did not provide any information on quality control.

What Fisher has brought to the Thunder, Brooks said, is toughness, a winning mentality and a desire to improve at age 37. "He's been in the league 16 years and he looks at himself as he's just starting in the league and he wants to keep getting better," Brooks said. "I don't think he realizes he's not going to get much better. He is what he is.
