Serving as project leader during the implementation of a manufacturing resource planning II system is exciting but can cause anxiety and concern, especially if you have to deal with some of the many typical roadblocks. Below is a description of 10 roadblocks to watch out for and suggested ways to deal with them.
Many projects are planned well but seem to fail in the implementation stage. We've all been in that situation to one degree or another, so we know that planning, in and of itself, does not dictate success. What is the link between planning and success that is missed so often? While a project with no plan is doomed to failure, a well-planned project can fail just as easily if you can't execute the plan. The ability to keep your team motivated and the project moving forward is critical, and most project leaders don't recognize some fundamentals that are prerequisites for success.
This article illustrates how a small manufacturing facility in the Midwest undertook the process of an MRP II implementation and ultimately gained class A status at a true make-or-break time in its history. The control that was gained throughout the entire process has helped create a winning environment and will continue to strengthen our position as we move toward world-class excellence.
