How will processes be done after change in ERP Inventory project?

ERP CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Activity

If you are new with this web log we request you to read preface first.

How will processes be done after change?

What are the job descriptions and roles after inventory system implementation?

What is the position of people in the chain of processes?

The three above main questions are to be responded and well described by the Procedures of running processes as below:

Procedures & Instructions to run the new processes.

After preparation of process flows for all inventory business processes which are explained in previous posts, you must design the procedures. The procedures will include instructions for running each process and its functions which describe step by step tasks to be done for a process to get completed. These procedures must be well documented and published to all appropriate users. It is very important to know that the tasks in these procedures are part of new job descriptions and Roles of the people in your organization. This must be realized for the people by the change management team very well.

Attention: It must be known very clearly that running new processes and new procedures might need some changes in organization chart.. But the critical point here is that While ERP implementing, first thing to be designed and figured are business process and procedures to run them and not structures. Structure of organization and especially organization chart should be analyzed and redefined if needed after business processes are perfectly mapped.

In this part we are going to figure out executive procedures to run and support the depicted process flows of the entire business area.

We will talk much more in next posts.
