[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 728872, member: 10234"] Standard Operating procedure seems to be this...... Spend millions on a system that in theory should help in dispatch and delivery functions. Then try to save on the cost of the system by cutting corners on implementation. There is no doubt in my mind that PAS/EDD could and should be an asset to the company. The problem in many (if not most) instances is that those tasked with the implementation phase were woefully unprepared and uneducated to the facts of what was required for a smooth and seamless transition. Add to that the rather short period of time they were allotted in implementing it and the problems were compounded. It's kind of like a hospital buying an MRI system and then having the maintenance guy running it and dealing with the results. If the proper amount of time had been spent upfront in implementation....a lot of the problems faced by many centers could have been averted. There will always be misloads and the like. The human element pretty much guarantees it. In my opinion....someone in corporate should take a step back and see PAS/EDD for what it is. A good system operating under a mediocre (at best) implementation. That is partially why the savings (time and money) from a delivery aspect is not being realized. JMO [/QUOTE]
