Industry Examples

Objectives– Available-to-Promise (ATP), the real-time capability

to take an order, schedule it to be delivered anywhere in the world and confirm delivery instantly

– Ability to determine what was actually in inventory or in production and how much of it had been promised to other customers

ERP

SIS

Industry Examples

Scope– Based on the full suite of Oracle Corp.'s manufacturing

and operations applications– 750 users in 25 locations worldwide– To adopt Big-bang approach

• One of the largest distributed business systems to go live worldwide at one time

– HP9000 hardware, HP UX operating system (10.1) and Oracle Release 10.4

ERP

SIS

Industry Examples

Pre-Implementation Assessment– Legacy system-based MRP system in use

– Each division's business transactions in separate databases by business unit, and by function within a unit

– Databases couldn't share information

ERP

SIS

Industry Examples

Project Planning & Control– Project team members pulled from regular jobs

& relocated to “Building 12”– “Building 12” essentially set up a scaled-down

business model of Quantum– Team members play-acted their real-life roles– Improved business processes and wrote

requirements for the new system

ERP

SIS

Industry Examples

Implementation Process– Packaged available applications & selected Oracle

applications– Consultants from Price Waterhouse and Oracle,

installed the software & began pilot projects– Complexity and magnitude of the project

quadrupled (Digital Disk drive division acquisition)

– Conference room pilots tests

ERP

SIS

Industry Examples

Human (HR) Side– Locally trained about 100 users from all over the

world and flew them into Milpitas to run a full-scale system simulation

– Sponsored massive user training - users had to pass a test before returning to their jobs

– Ran Internal PR campaign- Entailed group meetings, presentations,an intranet site and events emphasizing system's importance

ERP

SIS

Industry Examples

Project Statistics– October 1992 - May 1996– 16 full time managers– 100 person multidisciplinary team– 1,632 meetings – 79 shouting matches

– 800GB of disk space – 18,064 miles of cable – 300,000 cups of coffee– 58,000 e-mails – 7,503 cases of beer – 1.62 million miles of air travel
