Operations-driven thinking is a new
paradigm for implementing ERP software
applications. It achieves operations excellence in the company's core
competencies by focusing employees exclusively on harnessing reusable
data and perfecting skills that will be utilized during ongoing
operations. Core competencies are enhanced when the right person (the
end-user that will utilize this knowledge during ongoing operations) is
provided with sufficient time to exercise the right (site-specific) data
in order to acquire the right intellectual capital (which retains its
operational integrity). Operations-driven thinking guarantees quality
with zero-defects in a friction-free environment.
Operations-driven thinking shows how simple it is to achieve operations
excellence in an ERP implementation once you focus on the right objectives with the right
resources and eliminate extraneous tasks and intermediaries. The key
concepts you will learn in Implementing Excellence are:
1. What is excellence in ongoing operations and how do you achieve it
during an ERP implementation.
2. The critical two
percent you have to accomplish in the first thirty days of an ERP
implementation to create
momentum, establish credibility and assure success.
3. What the
fundamental differences are between onetime development activities and
ongoing business processes as well as the most appropriate critical
success factors and ERP project drivers for each.
4. How to radically
change the way you create and perceive value in an ERP implementation. This
simple concept ensures that you convert expenditures into investments by
replacing onetime throwaway effort with ongoing value creation
activities.
5. How to achieve
operations excellence by naturally generating intellectual capital that
retains its operational integrity in order to develop core competence in
the end-users who utilize this knowledge repeatedly during ongoing
ERP operations.
6. How to structure
and resource the ERP project to create synergy, eliminate unnecessary
middlemen and drastically reduce the number of full-time dedicated
resources required for the ERP implementation.
7. How to apply a few
simple, repeatable models that drastically reduce elapsed time on an ERP
implementation and
concurrently validate business process functionality, develop end-user
core competencies, provide zero-defect testing and lifelong learning.
8. Simple
productivity tools to accelerate the ERP implementation, reuse data and
leverage intellectual capital for the life of the system.
9. How to
measure progress on an ERP implementation based on certain unambiguous metrics that cannot be
manipulated and always depict exactly what needs to be done to promote a
business process into production.
