Re: The "Clerk" function and Standards throughput and quality

Carl,

You know that this is going to take more than one employee (or 
individual contractor) and that the difference is hair-splitting 
for most reasons.   I know that.  The document if read carefully 
is pretty clear about that.

But I keep seeing "one employee only" comments which lead me to 
believe that some people are still confused.
