Broadband-X: Enterprise Resource Planning Implementation
內容大綱
Broadband-X, is a small-sized electronic contract manufacturing company. The company had been using QuickBooks accounting package and Excel sheets to manage its processes. As the company grew, Brian, the owner, noticed that the current model was not capable of efficiently managing the production processes and decided to acquire an enterprise resource planning (ERP) package. Brian tried to implement the system employing its current human resources. However, he realized that ERP implementation required a company-wide change management effort. Brian hired Zayan Preet to champion the ERP implementation project. Preet analyzed the system, conducted interviews to figure out the issues and the priorities, and began working on an implementation strategy and a project plan.
