It is well known within the software industry that only
50-70% of ERP implementations are successful. There are a
variety of reasons for this including:
A poorly defined implementation process
-
Lack of management commitment to the project
(real commitment not lip service)
-
Lack of internal resources to manage and
accomplish project goals
-
Lack of project management skills
-
A software selection process where the software
chosen is not a good fit for your business
The Carr Enterprises Implementation Doctor process
is a defined process that will help you:
-
Reexamine the business goals of your
organization.
-
Create a "snapshot" of your
implementation. Determine what is done, what remains to be
done and get a handle on the quality of the implementation that has
been accomplished.
-
Decide if Visual Manufacturing® is a good fit
for your organization's needs.
-
If not:
-
We will first try to preserve your
investment in Visual Manufacturing® by:
-
Searching for appropriate work-arounds
for problem areas.
-
Helping you determine if
customization is appropriate.
-
Determining if 3rd party software
could be used to patch areas of the system that do not fit
your business.
-
If all of the above fails, we will help
you with a software search that will find software that better
meets your needs.
-
If, as is likely, Visual Manufacturing® does
fit your needs, we will help you implement it to fit your
business' needs and goals.
How does this process work? Carr Enterprises
has a defined process for fixing your implementation:
-
Management Review: In this stage,
the professionals from Carr Enterprises meet with the management of
the company to understand, or if necessary define, your organization's
general business goals, e-business strategies, and reasons for
selecting Visual Manufacturing®.
-
Implementation Process Review: We
will meet with the implementation team to review the strategy and
plans that governed your implementation process. During this
review we will:
-
Examine the assumptions that underlie your
implementation process.
-
The conformance of the implementation plan
and execution to the stated goals and objectives of the management
of the company.
-
The quality of vendor support delivered by
your associate or Lilly Software.
-
Implementation Status Review: Carr
Enterprises will establish the current status of the implementation
and develop a list of action items that need to be attended to to
complete the implementation of Visual Manufacturing®.
-
Results Review Meeting: As a result
of this process, the professionals at Carr Enterprises will meet with
the implementation team and present the results of their
investigation. This meeting will result in a go/no go decision
as to whether to proceed with the Visual Manufacturing®
implementation.
-
Re-implementation Plan: If the
decision is made to go forward with your Visual Manufacturing®
implementation, Carr Enterprises will help you develop a
re-implementation plan with assigned tasks and deadlines for
completing the implementation.
-
On-going Project Management: If
desired, you may have the professionals at Carr Enterprises manage
your implementation. This management can be very hands-on with
Carr Enterprises providing the overall direction and management of the
project. Or we can simply provide check point review and
technical assistance during the re-implementation process. You
choose our level of involvement to suit your needs and budget.
