Comment By marking the bench, silly. (Score 0) 144
Sit down all the sysadmins and techs on one long bench. Measure the amount of, erm, 'parking room' needed. Do this at the beginning and end of the test period.
This 'parking room' should increase as they become more efficient, automate more processes, and get off their buns less often.
The same method can be used to downsize the department as efficiencies grow; after a while, they'll have less and less room on the bench. Kind of like musical chairs.*
Note: This could have been written in the '1. 2. 3. Profit!' form, but I was too lazy.
*Except the skinniest one would be squeezed out by the 'most efficient'. Evolution inaction.
PS: The captcha text for this post was 'largely'...
