SAP “Start Adding People” slowed HAL to a snails pace. It handcuffed some great personnel and tied them to data input instead of what they should be doing. Some had to use additional methods of data collection to get equipment and materials to location anywhere near on time and then stay at the office catching up data input all hours of the night.
Cost HAL great employees that jumped ship after getting burned out on SAP. System was too complex for coordinators and an entry level data entry clerk didn’t understand the tacit knowledge of the data needed input. HAL thought a monkey with a checklist or a process map could do any task. Oops

@2pef+156s28tr I must say I like your response...
SAP is another one of Lesars hit jobs on the company.
These will be streamlined and eliminated by next boom. Employees are the largest cost to company.
The hierarchy pyramid is getting shorter and much wider.
This is more than personnel that don’t have the competence to run a piece of software. You can put a new or temp inputting technical data but if they don’t have the technical knowledge it’s junk in junk out. We are talking about a clunky software that is not use-friendly. Anyone that has used it understands and coordinators are task with duties other than data input
BKR not any better. Seems like no one understands SAP there either.
You wouldn’t last 30 days running with a pump truck. And don’t stroke your little peter too much as I have a 4 yr economics degree and been rolling a cement truck for a decade and promise you don’t have enough hair on your kiwis to get out of the a/c.
If SAP is too complex, maybe you shouldnt become a coordinator.
SAP is not something that is a rocket scince at all these days. If you’re too stupid to use SAP, you shouldnt be working in the office; drive cement truck instead
What ERP system do you prefer?
Same concept with housing market in 2000s. Overpriced and leveraged debt until market equalizes resulting in a failed industry.
I cant tell you how many months I sat on location with zero parts in inventory. Halliburton is supposed to provide the customer with the best service quality in the industry. Every day I was told that no part is to be ordered unless the job shuts down. With that kind of service i am not surprised about the fastest downfall in Halliburton's history to date.
