Abstract
This paper explores the implications of Expert Systems from an engineering management perspective. It examines the demands that Expert Systems place on two important business resources - money and people, particularly with regard to Expert Systems maintenance.

The paper argues that by adopting suitable amortisation policies reductions can be achieved in maintenance costs, both financial and human. The use of such policies opens up better opportunities for the individual and the enterprise.
