Keys for a good implantation

Keys for a good implementation

Date

Although we can throw stones a little on our own, as software developers, there are some variables that are beyond our control, and that can make the best system in the world, the one that best suits the production needs of your plant, can fail or be a resounding success. That is why it is very important to analyze, plan and prepare very well. Today we will tell you some of the keys that we have detected over the years, so that the implementation of software in your foundry is a SUCCESS:

⭐Research and compare:

Analyze which software is best suited to the specific needs of your foundry. “Vertical” industry-specific systems will better understand the business model and avoid large specific developments that prolong implementation time and do not provide the best solutions.

⭐Clearly define “why” and communicate it:

A production software communicates data from multiple teams and departments, so it is essential that the entire team is aligned with the objective, understands the reasons for the change. Communicating the benefits will ease the transition and encourage buy-in. It’s a joint effort: from production to purchasing.

⭐Nominate a project leader:

We are going to face difficulties, especially in the process of parameterizing the system. It is essential to have someone who knows the foundry processes well, who will lead the change with precision and inspire others to follow.

⭐Prepare your team:

Technological change can generate resistance. Make sure everyone is receptive and understands how the new software will simplify their work. In addition to this, it is up to them to leave the system well parameterized with the company’s Know-How, which is one of the keys to success.

⭐Set a realistic timeline:

Don’t underestimate implementation times. Effective integration requires planning, testing and adjustments. Set aside periods for training, troubleshooting and gradual adaptation.

⭐Organize the “house”:

Before implementing, analyze your workflows. It is the ideal time to optimize operations, eliminate inefficiencies and adapt processes to the functionalities of the new software. Avoid doing it in the middle of the implementation saves time and rework, and a bad taste in your mouth, thinking that something does not work…

Give it time:

The larger the scope of the implementation, the greater the challenge. There is no magic, no software vendor can tell you that without your part it is done. We can help, push, but to get data and positive results, first you have to parameterize, record and display… When the system has to learn from data, it takes more time… Don’t despair.

Choose well and go for it. THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS IN YOUR HAND!!!
