Keys to Successful ERP Implementations

We have implemented ERP solutions that address virtually every business process or functional area, including ordering, billing, shipping, inventory, financial reporting, project accounting, incentive compensation, revenue recognition, and employee self-service applications. When you are considering an ERP solution for your business, take advantage of our experience:

1. Be sure that the proposed solution delivers exactly the functionality you need—too much, and solutions become cumbersome to use and users fail to adopt them. Skimping on capabilities that pay off in long-term efficiencies can limit your future flexibility. We can help you identify the features you need—and the ones you don’t. We view your investment like it’s our own money, so you spend on what you need to achieve your goal without creating solutions that users won’t use and you can’t maintain.

2. Realize that existing processes must adapt to the new solution. We recommend the solution that will deliver the results you want. However, every customer finds that they must adapt their existing processes to some degree to fully take advantage of powerful new features. We won’t turn your world upside down, but we will help your users learn new features, develop new work steps and integrate capabilities with their current processes.

3. Choose a partner that has deep business process experience—not only technical expertise. While every business is unique, those within the same industry have common requirements. With years of experience across a wide range of vertical markets, We can deliver the benefits of other clients’ experiences and lessons learned and also can propose alternatives, suggest new approaches, help you avoid common pitfalls, and get the most functionality for your solution spent.

Supply Chain Management

Increasingly, supply chain management is being recognized as the management of key business processes across the network of organizations that comprise the supply chain. While many have recognized the benefits of a process approach to managing the business and the supply chain, most are vague about what processes are to be considered, what sub-processes and activities are contained in each process, and how the processes interact with each other and with the traditional functional silos. In this paper, we provide strategic and operational descriptions of each of the eight supply chain processes identified by members of The Global Supply Chain Forum, as well as illustrations of the interfaces among the processes and an example of how a process approach can be implemented within an organization. Our aim is to provide managers with a framework to be used in implementing supply chain management, instructors with material useful in structuring a supply chain management course, and researchers with a set of opportunities for further development of the field.

Supply chain management is increasingly being recognized as the integration of key business processes across the supply chain. For example, Hammer argues that now that companies have

implemented processes within the firm, they need to integrate them between firms:

Streamlining cross-company processes is the next great frontier for reducing costs, enhancing quality, and speeding operations. It is where this decade’s productivity wars will be fought. The victors will be those companies that are able to take a new approach to business, working closely with partners to design and manage processes that extend across traditional corporate boundaries. They will be the ones that make the leap from efficiency to super efficiency.

How can companies achieve supply chain integration if there is not a common understanding of the key business processes? It seems that in order to build links between supply chain members it is necessary for companies to implement a standard set of supply chain processes. Practitioners and educators need a common definition of supply chain management, and a shared understanding of the processes.

Customer Relationship Management

The customer relationship management process provides the structure for how the relationship with the customer is developed and maintained. Management identifies key customers and customer groups to be targeted as part of the firm’s business mission. Customer teams tailor Product and Service Agreements (PSA) to meet the needs of key accounts and segments of other customers. Teams work with key accounts to improve processes, and eliminate demand variability and non-value-added activities. Performance reports are designed to measure the profitability of individual customers as well as the firm’s financial impact on those customers.

Product Lifecycle Management

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture, to service and disposal. PLM is a set of capabilities that enable an enterprise to effectively and efficiently innovate and manage its products and related services throughout the entire business lifecycle. It is one of the four cornerstones of a corporation's IT digital structure.

Innovation and new product development are essential for most companies to sustain future revenue growth. Customers demand more new products in shorter time intervals, often customized to their own needs. They want more attractive designs, better performance, better quality, lower prices, and instant availability. To meet these needs companies have to be able to collaborate closely within their own organization and with partners and suppliers located in various parts of the world. At the same time companies have to manage increasing product and manufacturing complexities due to a quickly growing number of environmental and regulatory rules and requirements.

Through its ability to integrate all product related data and processes and to eliminate boundaries in the value chain, PLM can significantly reduce non-value added activities and enable stakeholders to collaborate in real time using a consistent set of information throughout the entire product lifecycle. As a result, productivity improvements of over 60% in NPDI-related activities have been achieved through PLM-enabled, enterprise-wide data and process optimization and integration that have allowed companies to:

· Drive innovation

· Accelerate Revenues

· Increase Productivity

· Reduce Costs

· Improve Quality

· Ensure Compliance

· Shorten Time-to-Market

In today’s highly competitive, fast-paced, and global business environment, well-designed and implemented PLM practices and technologies that support an organization’s strategies for innovation and growth can afford companies a real competitive advantage.
