Wrong Attitude to&nbsp;Manufacturing Software Implementation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often we see that the company\u2019s management is not taking the implementation of manufacturing software as seriously as they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge comes through not sharing enough resources for the implementation and the lack of organized collaboration- either not having a project manager for the implementation at all, or not giving him\/her enough time to manage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often the project manager is an executive, but when the project manager is not, then they need the required authority and support from management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We&#8217;ve written in-depth about this topic in another post:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/mrp-system-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">The right attitude for MRP system implementation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Not_benefiting_from_process_changes\"><\/span>2. Not benefiting from process changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people tend to think that working with or without manufacturing software is the same thing: that it has no impact on business processes. We are often used to the way things are &#8211; change can be frightening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in reality, the successful implementation of any software means that business processes need to be adjusted accordingly. Many companies gain considerable benefits from structured processes that come by implementing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MRP software (opens in a new tab)\">MRP software<\/a>.

Going live with incomplete seed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before going live with the implementation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/mrp-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MRP systems (opens in a new tab)\">MRP systems<\/a>, one should know the importance of having essential seed data. You want manufacturing to run smoothly and to be able to focus on production &#8211; not inserting data, which could have been done earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of data input should not be taken lightly \u2013 that is, focusing on the real classification of data and ensuring its integrity in thoroughly preparing for the launch date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Not_having_staff_on_board\"><\/span>4. Not having staff on board<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to inform and train all employees who will be working with the solution in time for the launch. Even though modern MRP systems can be intuitive and no longer require reading biblical scale manuals, it is still important for employees to know their tasks accordingly and the possibilities gained from the new software. Understanding the nature of relational data is one key element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Keeping_the_processes_running_and_data_up_to_date\"><\/span>5. Keeping the processes running and data up to date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have implemented an MRP system, which enables managers and employees to be up to date with the processes, it is essential to also have real-time information and feedback from employees and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data is not just for storing, but can also be a valuable asset for real-time analytics and for optimal manufacturing planning. Thus, also having correct input data running smoothly will enable swift reactions and help proactive planning. It might be a good idea to create new positive habits that smoothly enforce these processes and keep data up to date, meaning there will be less need for manual inventories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some companies, keeping up with technological advances may also mean having machine-to-machine automated feedback straight from manufacturing stations to the MRP system. This would enable a higher quality of feedback and would consume less employee time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, it might be best to learn from the mistakes of others and move your manufacturing, supply chain and customer relations management to the information age by gaining the most benefit. ERP implementation projects used to require long-term waterfall projects, which were prone to disaster. We recommend starting off small &#8211; one step at a time &#8211; and this is where agile implementation can be supported by a pay-as-you-go monthly SaaS solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MRP system series:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/mrp-system-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">MRP System Series #7: The right attitude for MRP system implementation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/manufacturing-software-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">MRP system Series #6:&nbsp;Implementing Manufacturing Software.

A robust MRP system is essential for efficient production, but it doesn\u2019t have to be so complex that the costs of implementing and operating it outweigh the benefits. We believe that an MRP system can be powerful, simple, and affordable.","url":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/author\/mrpeasy\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=806"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6941,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806\/revisions\/6941"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
