  12. ERP System background

  13. ERP Implementation plan • Steering group, Reps from all business functional areas • Evaluation process • Change business processes • Big bang implementation • Best fit for business - at the time !

  14. ERP Project Aims - Integrated Business System • Improve planning systems • Better ability to accurately predict, therefore to manage the business • Question and change our working practices as required • Single / correct way of operation (only one version of the truth) • Consistency and complete data • No islands of information • Reduce multiple data entry / increased reuse of data • Single user interface (expert in 1 system) • Get off obsolete / unmaintained databases & hardware • To keep our Business Systems up to date with evolving technology • GUI, potential for E-business

  15. Avante ERP Technical details • Avante from software company Epicor • U2 – Unidata PICK database - multivalue, transactional based • 120 concurrent user licence. • Multi processor server, 4 Pentium4, 2Gb memory, RAID discs • Live account = 1 000 MBytes

  16. Sample Avante GUI screen

  17. The extent of Avanté

  18. Scope of ERP use – therefore integrated • Quotations & Sales Order acknowledgements • Order BOM configurations • Material Control • Purchasing, MRP & buy to order • Quality Control, Stock control, Tool mgt • Manufacturing • Work order routings, progress status • Lead time Planning, + feeding details for finite scheduling • Change control & Locking • Project / order management • Costing – standard, budget, actual hours & costs • Shipping / despatch control • Financial control • Supplier invoices, payments, cash mgt • Sales invoices • All official company external documents

  19. Out of scope – therefore interfaces to other systems • Engineering – to & from in-house PDM system, future – global PDM • SFDC – to & from in-house timelines, clock card system • Site Operations – to & from in-house system • Payroll / personnel – to & from • APS – Advanced Planning System – finite scheduling module • NB. Non to customers / suppliers via Ebiz

  20. Why out of scope ? • Forced • Working within a Global company • Helping implementation, practicalities • By design, optimum use • Better ‘external’ software solution eg APS • External process eg payroll

  21. Engineering PDM System interface • In-house PDM simulates future global Siemens solution • To Engineering • Order MBOM configurations • Generic components, required dates & priority order • Changes to dates, emerging extent of supply • From Engineering • Order EBOM configurations • Specific items (parts) with all associated attributes • Changes to items & drawings • Polling for data, every minute • Token codes dictate process

  22. Shop Floor Data Capture interface • To SFDC • Work order operation routings – what to make, when, on what machines • Changes • From SFDC • Progress status • Timelines, hours taken • Clock cards, overtime & shifts • Polling for data, every minute • Token codes dictate process • Batch ASCII files manually invoked, schedule time

  23. Other interfaces • Site Operations • To Site Ops - Work order routings – for validation @ source • From Site Ops - Timelines, clock cards • Payroll • To Payroll - Overtime & Shifts • From Payroll - Full payroll costs into Financial journals • Personnel • From Personnel - New starters, leavers, movements • APS – Manufacturing Finite scheduling key resources • To APS – outstanding work, estimated hours, earliest start dates • From APS – priority work lists, expected completion dates

  24. How the interfaces work • Polling, auto running 24x7 • Every minute searching for a file on network drive • First section of each line is a token code • Each code calls specific interface process or simulates a manual menu process • Batch file updates, scheduled day & time or manually control when run • Each line predefined format, usually csv • Error files log any problems • Simulating manual processes, same validations as for users • Populate database records directly • Archive copies held to enable re-runs

  25. Positive aspects • Allows split between global & local business systems • Eg global PDM Engineering & local ERP • Allows phased implementations, avoids too much of a big bang • Functionality not yet available, training users • Eg SFDC • Out of scope of the ERP system • Better specialist software used for specific tasks • Eg APS finite scheduling & its what-if scenarios • Remote users, not on network • Eg Site Operations @ Power Stations

  26. Negative aspects • Cost of developing • Specification, writing, testing all envisaged permutations • Delays on implementation time schedules • Not moving off legacy systems, not a clean break • Extra links in information chains, PC – Unix, debugging • Ongoing maintenance costs • External bespoke software support • Internal system support

  27. Negative example - Avante / PDM interface • Not originally envisaged • Global initiative, optimistic time scales for availability • Costs (man hours) • Internal – defining functional specification, testing • External – detail system spec, writing software • 100 k but capped ! • Delay whole ERP implementation project plan - 8 months • Originally planned (optimistically) 9 months (Oct 99 – July 00) • Actual project time 17 months – live in Mar 01

  28. Future interfaces - XML • Standardised approach • Predefined, standard format of files • Simulates manual menu screen process • Mapping of XML fields to process fields (screen variables) • Designed for Ebiz but wider application • Off the shelf interface solutions !?!??

  29. Conclusion • Overview of the Avante ERP system at SPG • Large traditional manufacturing industry, global organisation • Other systems - existing, legacy, global, external • Reasons for interfaces to & from ERP • Details on the interfaces • Positive aspects • Negative aspects • But usually critical, KIS - Keep It Simple

  30. The End Any Questions
