Step 3: Project preparation

“We’ll fix it if we come across it” or do we want to be in control?

We have supervised a large number of MES projects and know what needs to be done to prevent delays and budget overruns. The basis for this is laid in the project preparation. When the implementation starts, “the counter will run”. Then it is necessary to work efficiently and effectively on realizing the MES solution. In the project preparations, the principles, procedures and preconditions that make this possible are determined.

Points of attention in project preparation

The scope of the first phase
- How do we keep the project manageable?
- How do we achieve the most important improvements?
- What can we do as an organization?
Do we have the right people available?
- Can we free the best people enough?
- Do we have to arrange for temporary hiring as a replacement?
- Do we need to engage external specialists?
Delimitation with other applications
- What do we do in ERP and what in MES?
- What do we do in the controls and what in MES?
- What other applications should MES connect to?
Adjustments to the IT infrastructure
- How do we ensure a stable environment?
- What is needed for good cybersecurity?
- Do we need a separate test environment?
- What technology do we use for the interfaces?
Clear picture of the processes and goods flows
- Do we have an unambiguous model of the physical processes?
- Can we measure revenues and consumption?
- Do we have all stock points and buffers clear?
master data
- Which system is master of which data?
- How are we going to manage master data?
- Is our current article coding and BOM structure sufficient?
Project approach
- How are we going to test?
- How are we going to train?
- What documentation must be delivered?
- How do we deal with change management?
What do we need after the project?
- What should the support organization look like?
- What contract do we need with the supplier?
- How do we keep the system up-to-date?
- How do we deal with changes?

It’s people work

What influence does the maturity of your organization have on the project?
How do the departments involved work together on an optimal process?
Is the project getting enough attention from management?
