Expert system technology, which is of late becoming an important tool, uses the power of the human brain to store knowledge electronically so that information regarding decision-making can easily be accessed at anywhere and at any time. More often than not most decisions in the industry are based on just subjective decisions. But since each project is different from the other, there is the need to integrate heuristic approach in other to arrive at better decisions.
