I agree. Maybe it's just me, maybe I just never had the right understanding,
but the last time I had to deal with those was about six year ago when I
did a short stint as an industrial engineer. It seemed like those around
me (who had been in their positions for quite some time) were spending all
day preparing nifty charts to -study- the problem, but no actual time
making action decisions or solving the problems.

If the building's on fire, I don't need a PERT to tell me that I need to
call the fire department.

Maybe I was with a group of people that were abusing the system, or maybe
I just didn't get the big picture. But I really had very little use for
those types of tools.
