I would like to quickly and easily take the temperature of an IT department 
using some simple measurements on an AS/400.

I am looking for quick methods of determining some simple things, such as how 
organized (or messy) a system is.

For example, if the company uses Robot Scheduler, one measurement is how many 
jobs are scheduled?

If the company uses a menuing system, how many menu options exist?

Could you please suggest a few additional mesurements that would indicate the 
tidiness of an AS/400?

The measurements should be simple to determine their values, and should be used 
in most AS/400 shops.

thanks!
