For years, Contractor was a business partner with Big Yellow. At first, it was a good relationship. Contractor paid Big Yellow a little cash and she brought Contractor business. Everyone was happy, but it would not last.

In a recent public forum, system performance testing was criticized by a manufacturer as being unnecessary because the equipment would always work just fine as it was shipped. I was delighted when before I could respond, another manufacturer declared that system performance testing was essential because it allowed a contractor to adjust the system so it would actually meet and perform to manufacturer’s specifications. Without field testing and adjustment a system cannot perform as intended.
