mchan68 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Have any of you seen the Cautionary display on the fmcdealer webpage that states: WARNING!THIS IS A FORD MOTOR COMPANY PRIVATE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

Keith Browning Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 There always was a warning on the login screen. This just looks like it is has been verbally expanded but I don't remember how it used to be worded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselD Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Just noticed this change the other day. There has always been a waring at login but this one is a bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 My main point is, what in the hell is the purpose? I use to do web courses (when needed), run vehicles through OASIS and other resources like every other employee. Is this their way of trying to play "macho man" by telling me that I will get a spanking if I somehow misuse it (however that may be possible)? FUCK THEM!!!

cbriggs Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The other day when the part coverage tool was down, we called esp to see if a part was covered for one of our customers that had to leave to go to alberta for work the next day. The person on the phone said run the part coverage tool. We said we cant, it is down, that is why we called in. They said oh, they didn't know about it being down, then their reply was "I think the part should be covered, but I don't know for sure, You have to run the part coverage tool".

tonybullitt Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Check this out. On January 26, 2015, the verbiage to the Parts Coverage Tool (PCT) in OASIS was changed to "may be covered". Because this caused dealer confusion, we are changing the verbiage back to "IS COVERED". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
