Reason 60. I don't have time to talk to people who want to talk about EDM/PDM. Reason 61. EDM/PDM doesn't apply to me. Reason 62. I'm not interested in EDM/PDM. Reason 63. EDM/PDM's not my job. Reason 64. EDM/PDM's not in my area. Reason 65. I decided to do something else. Reason 66. Other things are more important than EDM/PDM. Reason 67. I know what I'm doing. I don't need EDM/PDM. Reason 68. I don't understand EDM/PDM. Reason 69. I don't see why we should change. Reason 70. Our advisor says EDM/PDM is not important. Reason 71. It will never work. You'll never get all the data on-line, and if you do there will be too much data and not enough information. Reason 72. Things will be out of control - no one will know what's happening. You won't know who signed off. It will be anarchy if there's not someone there to organize things. Reason 73. It's too risky. When the system crashes, or there's a virus, either we'll lose all the information, or we won't be able to access it. Reason 74. We won't be able to find all the information. Reason 75. EDM/PDM systems are not intelligent enough to get the right information. Reason 76. EDM/PDM systems are not able to associate different bits of information together, or to assemble packets of information. Reason 77. EDM/PDM systems are not intelligent and they have a very limited memory. They don't have any knowledge of the way the company works. They don't know how information was used in the past. Users can't call in and say to the system 'Oh, you remember that part Jack did for Bill about ten years ago'. Reason 78. It's electronic. If you don't have a terminal, you won't be able to access the information. The guys on the shop floor need drawings to look at - not disks. Reason 79. EDM/PDM systems are too slow. Skilled document management people are much faster. Reason 80. EDM/PDM systems are just an added cost. We already have the people to do the job - so what's the point in having a system as well? It's just more overhead. |
