Interview ERP implementation consultant
Quietly arrived in 2010, many people are considering the jump ship. In this paper, talk about ERP implementation of the consultants interviewed a number of techniques. Those who want to help those who intend to quit.
First of all, the author interviews ERP implementation consultants discovered that some of the problems, or if the ERP implementation consultant to the candidates need to pay attention to some of the places for everyone to be a summary.
In the ERP implementation consultant interview process, interviewers generally ask three aspects, to test the interview, are there any ERP implementation capable of assuming an advisory role.
First Enterprise Practice Management
While the ERP project is a software project, but, ERP consultants can not only know how to implement technology. Selection of ERP implementation in general business consultants, not to see how powerful programming, nor is it to see how much the title. Even if he has a postgraduate or doctoral qualifications, but do not know if their business management practices, there will be danger of being eliminated. This is because the ERP implementation of the consultant's primary task is based on business management problems and put forward practical solutions program. If one is not practical management experience in business, even how high their qualifications, or a purely technical background of people, how can the issues raised according to the user, give a quick solution?
So, need to possess knowledge of enterprise management systems including: business management processes, for some management issues that can quickly give solutions, enterprise management model.
Business management practices, relatively speaking, and sometimes more important than the project through. Even if you have multiple ERP implementation experience, but if you do not actually done in business, sometimes you may not be the competitiveness of corporate management than those who actually experienced, but the first contact with the strong number of people who ERP.
Addition, we must be noted that differences in the industry. Such as the garment industry in the selection of the ERP implementation of ERP consultants, will ask whether he has the apparel industry management experience; the food industry ERP whether the consultant has experience in the food industry, and so on. While these are all due to the manufacturing industry, but its still there are some relatively large differences, such as the coding of materials, process management, and so on its own characteristics. Therefore, in an interview, you have to see you go to interview the ERP vendor for its ERP software, the industry is. If there is no experience in this industry, you have to look at tuition, to understand the basic characteristics of the industry.
Second, the project implementation skills
In the ERP project implementation, there are a lot of tips and rules. ERP implementation consultant interviews on these skills or that those who understand the rules, you will definitely improve their chances of signing of the interview. During the interview process, often asked about the implementation of the project with the ERP-related skills include:
Material coding techniques
Material coding is the basis of ERP project implementation work, but also one of the most important process. Therefore, ERP implementation consultant to the material encoding for at least some basic knowledge of some understanding. If we know the material code must be unique, that is, one on one principle, you know, if one to many, what problems may arise; if materials need to know some basic coding methods, such as letters + water codes, such as the coding by category and so on. This knowledge easier to learn before the interview, if not understand the content of this field, and then hastened to find a teacher, or take the book, eating bar look would be beneficial.
Process Management skills
I very much like to ask those who have had experience of ERP project interviewer a question, "when the actual process with the corporate ERP standard processes relative to conflict, how would you do?" A lot of people in the trap. They think customer first ah, of course, a customer-oriented. In actual fact, in the ERP project implementation process, if this happens, the correct approach is to persuade users to give up their processes, and ERP systems use a standard process. Because the secondary development of both the enterprise, or for software companies, are a headache for something thankless things. As can be seen through this problem, do you have relevant project management experience.
Third, the ability to communicate
A large part of ERP implementation of the consultant's job is to communicate with work, they should mind their own content to teach business users, it is necessary to reflect the needs of users to the back-developers and so on. If the language organizational capacity not, then it is still harder and harder to Daren. Tend to be more articulate interviewer focus on clarity of language is smooth and language of logic capacity of the organization.
