Proper Fit!

Okay, this week has been an interesting week. Several of you know where I work so I will not elaborate on that. However, I have several contractors working for me this week to install A LOT of equipment. Two of which I am extremely happy with. They are very hard workers and that time that they have spent at the office has been very productive. They have completed all they can do in one area and moved to another to start the instillation of even more equipment. So you are asking where the fit comes in right. Well, there is another contractor that is not giving me the “warm and fuzzy.” This other contractor is on the job site for one specific reason. Install pieces of equipment in a network rack and configure them. This contractor has been here for a week and today was the first time any piece of equipment was attempted to be placed in the rack. Needless to say the equipment DOESN’T FIT in the rack! I had to get the Project Manager to take a look at the rack and hold the contractor to the “fire.” So the moral of this story is to check the fit of the equipment on day one and not towards the end of the project.
