Limitations of DSS

(a) DSSs cann’t replace human decision making talents such as

creativity, imagination or intuition.
(b) (b). DSSs are generally designed to be narrow in scope of
application. This prevents their generalized use to multiple
decision making contexts.
(c) Languages and command interfaces are not sophisticated of user
directives and in queries.
(d) The power of DSS is limited by the computer system upon which it
is running, its design and the knowledge possessed by it at the time
of its use.
Although DSSs can make decision process more effective for
the human decision maker, however, they cann’t overcome or prevent the
actions of a poor decision maker. The use ultimately controls the process
and must understand when to use a DSS to use,and, most importantly, to
what degree to depend on the output and information obtained from the
DSS. DSS should be used as a valuable tool in the process of decision-
making rather than as a mechanism that makes the decision.
