Recruiting and Interviewing
Hopefully, your career has
progressed to the point that
you are empowered to re-
cruit your own team or a key
person for your team. There

column to metrics—the method of measuring
something. I mentioned the four levels of metrics
in my June column "Producibility and Other Fig-
ures of Merit." I also introduced the five stages of
metrics in the second part of the column "Design
for Manufacturing and Assembly, Part 2."
