Or consider how Welch became involved in the excruciating details of the tubes that go into GE's X-ray and CAT-scan machines. Five years ago, Welch, who spends 15% to 20% of his time interacting with customers, heard some gripes about the poor quality of the tubes. The product was averaging little more than 25 000 scans, less than half what competing tubes were getting.
Here is an example in which Welch got himself involved in resolving the quality problem of the tubes used in GE’s X-ray and CAT-scan machines five years ago.
