Abstract: A system and method for sharing information relating to the status of a continuous process improvement project of a business operation between a plurality of remote sites and a central location. The remote sites communicate with the central location on a computer network via a communications data link. The central computer at the central location stores a form which is accessible by the remote computer at each of the plurality of remote sites over the communications data link. Project information input into the form at one of the plurality of remote sites is relayed to the central location over the communications data link. Access to the information is provided to the plurality of remote sites.

Abstract: A door locking mechanism is formed by a pair of locking elements (19 and 20) carried by a bolt (18) on the door (12) and on the adjacent structure (10) respectively. The locking element (19) is movable into and out of engagement with the lock receptacle (20) by reciprocation of the bolt (18). Such movement is restricted and controlled by a rotary sleeve (23) having lands (22) which coact with and are complemental to mating lugs on the bolt (18) which assure and maintain the locked and unlocked condition of the door (12) through the locking elements (19 and 20). Actuators (15' and 31) are provided to rotate the sleeve and reciprocate the bolt (18) respectively in a selected sequence whereby door locking and unlocking is accomplished.
