True. The issue IMHO is that the number of people who are, or are simply able to be, the master of the machine trends to very low numbers. One, slightly off topic example, is Amazon compared to other companies I know. Amazon is doing with pretty sophisticated processes, systems and, say, 5 FTEs what others are doing with four times the number. This is not covering warehouse stuff like picking, packing, stowing and such. And the other companies are using the mist up-to-date version of SAP incl. APO. Yet, all but max. a handful of people are simply biological extensions of SAP pushing buttons because they were told to. They won't be able to function in an Amazon like environment because there is ni need for them. I only see this trend to speed up. Not sure where it will end an whether that place will be a good one so.
