Utopia, Inc.: Data Standards: When common sense isn’t too common.
Like a building without a blueprint; data integrity is lost without data standards.
The real problem with standards is they always seem to be changing. Kind of a contradiction in terms, but I see it all the time.
Compliance, regulations, new technologies, new ideas…
I had the curious experience of reviewing data standards for MRO spares and equipment at a global CPG company. As we started the discussion, we met with one leader responsible for the East region. He stated that when it came to his plants; naming conventions and standards were “common sense.”
