[QUOTE="abbear, post: 240595, member: 61"] They are in the process of implementing pas in our center now and what a circus. Everything I've been led to understand is that communication on what a loop should look like taking place over the several months leading up to the launch is key. In our center that was cut to 10 minutes to tell the 10 drivers in my area what was happening to their routes. Never was any driver asked about how they ran their route. The first day we had EDD live I had the division mgr ride with me. She asked me if I had EDD. I said What? We had no instruction on even the very basics of the system. Not only that but a fair number of my regular streets weren't even in the diad - hand to hand key them all. I can see nice things about EDD but I just don't see the time savings that will allow us to complete and additional 20 - 40 stops per route (that is the increase we have seen projected so far). After what - 4 years? - of implementing this system you'd think that they would have it down cold. My question is where is Eskew? Obviously he is either not in the loop or doesn't care. Quite frankly - if shareholders were aware of the way these installations are being screwed up they'd want blood! Way, way too much money being spent on reinventing the wheel. And since I know someone will ask I do have some experience in this. I installed manufacturing systems (hardware+software) for a number of years. This in companies that had no computers. IBM system 34/36 and AS400 and MAPICS and Data3 software. OH well. I will continue to do the best I can with the limited resources available to me. [/QUOTE]
