Factors which determine the suitability of ES are:
1.Consistency- where an organization requires consistency in decision making,
anexpert system is suitable as opposed to human experts.
2.Few experts- expert systems are prepared to reach areas where there are no
humanexperts and can be used in more than one place at a time.
3. Speed-ES are suitable where the decision making is required to be fast.
4.Permanency- Expert systems are useful to store knowledge permanently and
giveinstant accessibility when required.
5.Repetitive- suitable where the same decision is made over and over again.
6.Hostile environment- where human experts cannot work, then the expert system
issuitable.
7.Expenses- ESs are suitable where there is no need to reduce expert expenses/costs
