Implementation Support

You bought Visual Manufacturing® on the hope and promise that it could be used to turbo charge your business.  Yet after the installation, some classes and a few days of on-site support you seem to be driving a Yugo rather than a Porsche.  

Just as it takes a good mechanic to fine tune your car, it takes a good implementer to make your ERP installation a powerful agent for improvement in your business.  With years of experience in business and Visual Manufacturing® implementation, Carr Enterprises understands what it takes to drive your ERP installation over the finish line.  

We believe that ERP must be implemented, not merely installed and trained.  Like any ERP system, Visual Manufacturing® is not a one-size-fits all type of application.  And because its use affects the entire enterprise, individual users cannot  be allowed to pick and choose how they are going to use the system.  A holistic approach to implementation is the only one that will yield the results that you spent a substantial amount of money to achieve.  

Your Visual Manufacturing® implementation must be driven to meet the goals that you have set for your business.  The accomplishment of these goals are not optional.  Carr Enterprises will help you by providing the expertise and management talent necessary to translate your goals into a solid, whole-business solution.

Our Implementation Process

We have a proven approach to your implementation that is designed to yield results and get your use of Visual Manufacturing® on-track.

• Business Objectives and Goal Setting review with company management:  The key to a successful implementation of any enterprise software system is the establishment of specific, measurable goals for implementation success.  These goals must further the mission of the business and contribute significantly to improving the bottom line to justify the purchase and implementation of Visual Manufacturing®.

• Review and documentation of current business processes:  To get to where you are going, you have to know where you are.  Carr Enterprises will help you document and understand your current position.  We will also help you anticipate the problems that are likely to occur as you undertake your Visual Manufacturing® implementation.

• Gap Analysis:  Carr Enterprises will help you determine which business processes are essential to the goals and objectives of the business as well as smooth day-to-day operations as well as which ones are likely to hinder the successful implementation of your Visual Manufacturing® system.

• Project Team Selection:  Carr Enterprises will help you configure an internal project team that will lead your Visual Manufacturing® implementation to a successful, goal-driven conclusion. In addition, we will assist in the selection of an Executive Steering Committee that will watch over the implementation process. 

• Project Planning:  The implementation professionals at Carr Enterprises will assist you in defining and monitoring the status of your comprehensive implementation plan.  It is our belief that the failure to plan to succeed is the same as planning to FAIL!

• Project Stage Management:  Carr Enterprises will assist in the monitoring of the project and accomplishment of tactical and strategic goals.  We will also coordinate with your executive leadership and management to assure that all parties are aware of the project status and issues.

• Visual Manufacturing and Business Management Expertise:  During the implementation process there will be many decisions that must be made about how the software will be used in your company.  The experts at Carr Enterprises will use their years of expertise in the implementation and use of Visual Manufacturing® to guide your Implementation Team's business process decisions.
