What are you talking about? A quick three second search shows you these systems already exist and have existed for a long time: https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/accounting/manufacturing-resource-planning/#:~:text=The%20term%20manufacturing%20resource%20planning,related%20to%20the%20manufacturing%20process.
You're right, you do need to interact with the system a little bit because it's not "skynet", but it can do all your resources planning and allocation quicker and more efficiently.
It appears that I have struck a nerve saying a simple meeting could be automated.
A computer is good at doing boring, repetitive tasks with whatever rules and logic you tell it to. Let it do what it's good at and give yourself back some time to use your big brain somewhere else.
I also wouldn't rush to make assumptions about people's background on the internet that you know nothing about 🫣.
If you worked in manufacturing then I'm sorry for everyone who had to work with you. I've also used MRP systems and they don't negate the need for stand up meetings. But you clearly don't actually want to understand my point so it seems were at an impasse. Please continue working in IT for all our sakes.
Everyone is being so hostile to saying a meeting could be avoided, but I guess that shows a lot about who those people are 🤣
I'm sorry for everyone who has to work with you and sit through countless pointless meetings that should have been an email.
