I have to throw a penalty flag on that line. Since there's no perfect operation you've just attempted to absolve yourself of fixing your system problems (which aren't very very minor as portrayed). Why wait for me before you get started on fixing this stuff? This is the hypocrisy of which I speak.
I use the exact same system that you do. I will bet that few know it better than I do. I think you are going to have a hard time convincing me that the flaws are not minor and have reasonable work arounds. If that were not the case, why am I able to get results using it?
I fixt loop boundries, fix the trace, fix the dispatch, double check the shelf assignments, work on eliminating preload missorts.
After I have done that, the drivers can now trust their EDD. I do this with the existing system flaws.
If you want to have another discussion as to why flaws have existed in the system for many years, I think that's easy to answer. I've asked that myself of the corporate people. They have a budget. Do they use the budget to fix the nuisances, or do they use it to create new enhancements that support the business and the customer? They chose the latter, and I agree with them.
I'm giving you facts and tell you how I use the system to fix real issues. You imply that you cannot fix dispatch problems because of system flaws. Now, who is really hipocritical?
