Abstract
One approach for attaining a successful weight control effort is to center it around a ”high visibility” weight improvement program. In addition to normal weight performance tracking and reporting, an intensive effort should be initiated early on to solicit weight improvement suggestions. Weight reduction can be accomplished through positive employee motivation and without traditional methods of target weights, monthly goals, crash reduction programs, etc. The Weight Improvement Program (WIP) philosophy is to give praise, challenge requirements, set goals, report progress, and unleash human potential throughout the design process. Positive motivation and the creative energy of every individual on the project is an integral part of the weight control process.
