A successful ERP project management, critical control points
An ERP implementation project involves a very broad. In broad terms, said, including software, hardware and services, is a vast system engineering. Aspects of childhood, said the project's planning, organizing, resource allocation, control and coordination, are an indispensable condition for success of the project. It is noteworthy here to share a few critical control points and experience.
1. The importance of developing the project schedule
ERP implementation is a long-term project, in this process will involve a variety of resources, will also be involved in the task decomposition, and most things are a priority requirement, so the time allocation and control must be worked out satisfactorily. The actual operation, often appear when the blind in the project schedule to be done quickly, and even deliberately seeking a special significance of the date as the project milestones, the control of the project will create great pressure.
On the other hand, in fact, the failure of many projects, it is the cause of delays in project progress, which led to the project team, low morale and inefficient. Therefore, ERP implementation of the project time management, need to take into account all potential factors, appropriate amount of leeway; in the implementation process, we should emphasize the importance of the implementation of the project on schedule, in considering any question, they must be to maintain the progress as a pre - conditions; the same time, the rational use of their pace of work and rapid follow-up and other methods to make full use of resources.
2. The importance of human resources
Of course, the successful implementation of ERP projects is inseparable from human resources, security system, in human resources within the enterprise should set up a top-down project organization. Project human resource management first of all be clear by whom each task to complete the project on this basis, the formation of human resources matrix.
There is a large vernacular, all problems will eventually boils down to people on the. ERP project implementation can be seen in the process of human resource management is more important. Therefore, the implementation of the project implementation team, good or bad is the key to success. In an ERP project, 30% of the time and energy on making technical, 70% of the time is spent at work in life, so human resources management, ERP project management is the core of the project we are doing when you absolutely can not be belittled.
3. The next is an inherent part of the project: Project quality management.
In general, to achieve the objectives and requirements, and exceeded the target expectations, this is the project's quality requirements. A popular term, we often say that the high quality of the implementation of the project is the implementation of satisfaction.
How to achieve the high levels of satisfaction? In fact, this is a difficult to define standards. In my opinion, first and foremost on the premise that the project objectives / needs to have a clearly defined scope, which is to talk about the premise of high-quality project implementation. On this basis, the company is satisfied with the product, the product contains the software itself, as well as software technology. Then the implementation of consultants and implementation process satisfaction. Products, technology, implementation, three aspects constitute the quality of ERP implementation of the project scope and specific content. We need to take measures to establish three quality control measures to enhance quality control.
4. Reward mechanisms
ERP project implementation is a huge systematic project, can be said to affect the situation as a whole. Implementation team members have the task to complete, while virtually added to the learning, training, discussion, analysis and data collection, collation basic data, standardize processes and data, much more. Therefore, we must establish an effective incentive mechanism to be implemented in order to effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of staff. At the appropriate time, the project team copes with outstanding contributions and leadership of departments to give special commendation.
5. The project risk management
Why is placed in the end, because of all the above factors, there is substantial uncertainty. Uncertainty about the scope, time, uncertainty, human resources changes, quality issues and so forth will affect the project objectives. The project risk management is to the above-mentioned factors are the project's management and control uncertainty. Specifically, is to take to avoid, transfer, acceptance, use, etc. means exclude the uncertainty of achievement of project objectives, thereby ensuring the orderly conduct of the project. Risk management has been the focus of ERP project management and difficult problems. Simply put, project risk management is of the ERP implementation process in the presence of major elements of the various projects, such as scope, time and personnel management.
ERP project from the project start, project management is out of control for all the pain of the project manager's mind. ERP project implementation process, all of the factors that are likely to ERP constantly changing, if you can not deal effectively with these changes, the project plan is bound to be repeated adjustments, delivery dates will follow the repeated delays, the morale of project members will also be more and more is low, these will lead directly to ERP projects have become sand dangerous. And all this, decided the project manager must have superior management skills. |
