We find an organized and strategic implementation of implements around the region by skilled equipment operators facilitates the requisite De-layering required ( a trip to the barbers to me and you) Thus the strategic target is meet and head count is reduced,however a line managed monitoring program is needed to keep in check unauthorized expansion which would result in a further round of de-layering process Yes all very simple when plain english is applied to the situation we now find ourselves in and may I add inherited from the previous incumbent Yeehhhsss
