How to Pick an ERP System that Benefits the Whole Company

blogsysprocom

ERP projects touch all aspects of a business Small- and medium-sized

companies can typically only afford to have one person do most of the

research and that person usually ends up having the most influence

over the selection

Unfortunately this scenario often results in missing opportunities to

make other departments more efficient as the person doing the

research rarely knows the most pressing business problems in the other

departments

Here are some of the questions that you should ask other

departments when embarking on this project This will help you solve

their problems as well as yours The business will get more value

from the ERP project and yoursquoll be helping your co-workers rather

than forcing changes on them that primarily benefit you

Are you really committed to purchasing an ERP system and

committing everyonersquos time and effort to make it work

What are the specific benefits you expect to

get from an ERP system

How long do you expect it will take to realize the

benefits In other words what are the goalposts

of a successful implementation

Getting data on a timely basis to complete billing

payments

Are you continually chasing documentation and

deadlines

Inventory management and control

Are you experiencing write-offs consistently

Asset management

Do you have a handle on everything the company

owns where it is and what is its condition

Financial reporting

Is it timely enough Are there big pushes every

month to get basic reporting out

Operations reporting

Is any daily or weekly financial reporting done

Would it help

Inventory accuracymanaging materials

Are shortages causing havoc in production

Knowing what to produce and when

Are you making a combination of educated

guesses and reacting to whatrsquos suddenly

urgent to schedule production

Managing capacity

Is a lack of visibility into the loading on work

stations causing you to juggle jobs or run

overtime

Do we need the ERP system to be on

premise In the cloud Or is either

option fine

Do we need to integrate any internal or

third-party systems with ERP If so

what do the internal systems do and

which systems need replacingDo we have an accurate

inventory of systems that

would be replaced and who

owns them now

What visibility or data do you need from other

departments to help you satisfy your customers

Do you have effective tools to create

quotes and turn them into sales orders

What process do you currently use to communicate

customer demand to your company

Ask some of your most trusted customers and suppliers

to give you their honest opinions on what you could do

better

What pains do they usually experience when doing business

with you vs other companies

What information do they need from you

or want to exchange with you

1 Has anyone ever successfully used or

implemented an ERP system What did you like

and dislike about that system and the project

2 List all of the software systems you currently

use in your job eg ERP Excel CAD etc Briefly

describe how the data passes from system to

system For example where does the production

schedule data come from

4 What task takes the most time

out of your day that really should

be automated

3 Which metrics do you wish for but currently cannot get

because the data doesnrsquot exist or itrsquos too difficult (eg data is

scattered across separate systems takes too long to

manually crunch data close the month etc)

5 Which pockets of data are scattered among multiple

departments such as customer information that would

benefit from being brought together into a single source

available to everyone

These questions will help you have the right conversations

before selecting a system and ensure that everyone

affected has a chance at making their work easier and more

efficient And you will do it in a way that doesnrsquot add a huge

amount of work for everyone involved
