Vehicle tracking training is complete. We identify the need for small departmental restructuring necessary to accommodate the complete change in working practice. It is a big change from the paper driven manual processes that exist now. We work hard to identify the PCR list and documenting the list of system changes needed to adopt our go-live strategy. We continue to discuss the go-live “order”, ie. which warehouses/customers will go first in our phased approach. FI continues to raise discussion and with the change in go-live there is a possibility that the year end (June) would be a more ideal time.

After a busy week reengineering the plan we agree a way forward.
We have a new go-live date.
One of the major drivers for this is that many of our customers need extra time to prepare their systems to accommodate the changes that we now require – predominantly the RF requirement for barcodes. Also, we have a significant amount of work to complete all our required reports and with the delay in recruitment it also pushes the estimated completion time back further than our original plan. In order to facilitate expected staff holidays we push the date accordingly so that the majority of them can be taken before the go-live date. The vehicle tracking project continues and training should be complete next week.

We have a considerable amount of outstanding development of which most is changes identified during the realisation phase. I rearrange the plan to incorporate this and it suggests the go-live date is under review. We have to realign the testing/training and QA build to reflect a sensible date in line with the end of all developments and configuration. I am working hard with the board to establish a new plan.
The vehicle tracking project continues and is affecting the SAP implementation due to internal resource requirements so we look for support in this area. Our partner also experiences unforeseen resource issues which we work together to overcome as best we can.
The internal ABAP team continue to progress the necessary reports which are reviewed individually for their priority and indeed their relevance post SAP.

After a busy Christmas for the business the New Year refocuses attention to the project.The team have taken the opportunity to take their annual leave so we start where we left off.
Over the last couple of weeks we have identified a list of outstanding requirements which will add time to the realisation phase of the project. I am working hard to make sure this does not impact go-live, but our strategy will dictate this.We organise some more training for our new ABAP team so that they may contribute further to our report requirements. It has also become apparent that there is still a significant number of customer requirements that need modification to the SAP processes.
