Monthly report pyramid

Abstract

Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Water Reactor Division Office Systems Operations group has developed a process that pyramids the text of first-level managers' monthly reports into a departmental report for the second-level manager. The individual reports are typed and read into a word processing system through an optical character recognition device and telecommunicated to the central site where they are electronically combined into a departmental summary report. The second-level manager can then use a CRT for a final edit or send the document to word processing for additions or corrections. The biggest advantage of this process is that the second-level manager no longer has to wade through paper and cut and paste to prepare the monthly report.
