Kolaches are a Czech tradition here in TX. They are buns stuffed with just about everything, fruit, meat, vegetables so a BLT in a bun is not far fetched.

From tomorrow on I'll be system architect (together with a colleague), trying to bring order into the chaos of non existant processes and a lot of different solutions for similar problems in our division, and on the same time trying to reduce complexity, make everything a bit more robust and less "manual" while bringing us into the future.
Whish me luck

Don't try and do everything all at once. One bite at a time.
Pick some low-hanging fruit to start to
- get some quick successes and impress the higher ups
- test and fine tune YOUR processes
Involve the people that will be using your solutions.
If you can steer them to the 'correct' solution and make them think it was their idea, you will get buy-in a lot faster.

Yeah, Luckily I already learned this (the hard way). I hope to not repeat the same error.
#1 - Get knowledge about the current status quo, there is a lot of variance and I don't know every permutation
#2 - Trying to get a good feedback from management about which direction do they want to take
#3 - Organize things in "can die a natural death", "it needs a double tap", "we need this and we have to take it with us"
#4 - Once the system has been cleaned up from zombies and not needed stuff, start working out how to improve it
#5 - We'll see when we come there...

That's something I have always tried when programming PLCs for others, nobody know the machine better that the one using it everyday.

That's something I know, but that I don't master (yet)
Thanks for the tips, Matthew

I hope you like drawing pictures; I don't know how you pull it off otherwise.

I don't, but I suppose I will have to do a good bunch of schemata.
