Millennium Reality We are entering (actually in) a world where the old rules no longer apply. -- Philip Sanders, Rising Sun
The New Rules • Local markets global markets • Market dominance cutthroat arenas • Technology hoarding rapid transfer • Producer driven consumer driven • Mass production mass customization • Loyal customers fickle customers Create environments where success, even survival, demands effective response when chaos is encountered
A Changing Environment • Greater speed and less clarity • Still photos video tapes fast forward • Less time to absorb change • Not a question of “If?”, but rather “When?” and “How fast?”!! Organizations that fail to change will surely fail
The Faces of Change My Change
The Faces of Change Your Change
The Faces of Change Big Change
The Faces of Change No Change
Keys to Implementation Success • Leadership commitment • Acceptance of change • Education • Technology • Integration • Performance measurement/feedback/ accountability
Leaders Overcome Resistance to Change Rational or Not? • We’ve always done it this way!!!!! • Our place is different • I don’t see the connection • We tried that back in 1957--didn’t work!! • Where’d you dig that one up?!! • That will take two years to test • It’s against company policy • Engineeringwon’t approve it ..........AND ON, AND ON!
System Implementation Issues • New systems involve change • Threat or opportunity? • Areas of change: • Processes, Communication, Cooperation, Education, Attitudes, Data consistency/ availability, Decision making • Commitment to excellence • Data integrity, Data/information based decisions, Process improvement
The Process of Change Success or Failure? Wyatt Work USA study (4300 companies) • 54% of leaders identified employee resistance as major impediment • Hourly workers cited lack of management vision and visibility For effective change, cooperation and communication is required from both sides
What is Leadership? • The ability to influence people toward the attainment of organizational goals • More critical in chaotic, changing times • Make things happen, not wait for them to happen
Leadership Principles • Develop a clear sense of purpose (envision => vision) • Communicate the vision • Build trust • Involve people/empower them to achieve the purpose

Closed-Loop Planning • Highly integrated • Loops and linkages • Data flow and connections • Consistency and alignment Replace inventory and other resources with information!!
The Need for Closed Loop: Tell-tale Signs • Controller - Inventory’s too high!! (Marketing’s fault) • Marketing - Customer service/delivery is terrible!! (Manufacturing’s fault) • Manufacturing - We never have the right parts!! (Materials Management’s fault) • Materials - Shop floor and purchasing never follow the schedule!! (Their fault) • …………and on and on…...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems • A method for the effective planning and control of all resources needed to take, make, ship, and account for customer orders. Differs from typical MRP II in technical requirements such as graphical user interface, relational database, 4GL languages, client-server architecture and open-system portability • Modified from APICS Dictionary - 9th Ed.
ERP - The Impact • ERP involves the effective planning and control of all resources needed to take, make, ship, and account for customer orders • ERP is a closed-loop, integrated planning system involving all functions • ERP success requires participation and useby all
ERP - More Impact • ERP is a “people” system • ERP implementation requires new attitudes, relationships, and commitments to an integrated, interactive process • ERP requires, painfully in some cases, leaving the old, tried and true behind
ERP - Opportunities for Change • Critical evaluation of existing: • Systems • Processes • Policies • Procedures • Identification of improvement opportunities • The fundamental question - what to keep and what to change? • Links/loops/impacts
ERP - The Bottom Line • More complexity • More interfaces • More integration • More change New and different leadership!!!
The New Leadership Paradigm • What we need is not necessarily better leaders, but more of them. The Ideal - Everyone at every level is a self-leader
Your Role • Lead • Follow • Get out of the way!

Analysis and Anticipation Murphy’s Law - Whatever can go wrong…will! • Leaders • Analyze broad impact • Anticipate/solve potential problems • What’s in it for -- me, them, us? (WIIFMTU) • Followers • Be objective • Analyze narrow impact • What’s in it for -- me, them, us?
