Implementation of Mx-ERP

It is important to understand that getting any ERP software implementation means it will bring significant changes to staff work habits and practices. To ensure the successful implementation, ACGIL normally starts with consulting with stake holders and SRS development, developing functional and technical documents followed by customization, and finally undertaking users’ support round the year. It is always argued that implementation time is too long and parties tend to delay the implementation.



ACGIL has the opinion and seriously suggest all stake holders to first ensure that all documents are created and ERP delivery scope has been agreed. It is also true that time of implementation would change as it depends on number of units in business, number of modules included in ERP scope, required amount of customization, and the readiness of the users at customer end.

Process preparation before Implementing

Implementing Mx-ERP for manufacturing industry requires some ground work to be done in existing business processes. Good understanding of needed process needed prior to starting implementation. Some difficulties may arise due business process, training, or lack of motivation. It becomes therefore vital that organizations either to undertake some SOP audit (Standard Operating Procedures) or thoroughly analyse and refine processes before they implement Mx-ERP.



ACGIL highly recommends organizations to consider some kind of SOP is undertaken in order to make decentralized management. As some business rules, data semantics, authorization hierarchies, and decision Centre spoil the chances of a successful ERP implementation. We at times recommend to delay ERP implementation as this may require shifting some business units, possibly reducing integration or customizing the system to meet special needs. Even at times, entrepreneurs may feel losses in some area but are often eventually offset by gains in other areas, and thus increasing overall advantage.

Configuration

Configuring an Mx-ERP system is largely a matter of balancing the way the organization wants the system to work around them rather than they work around the ERP system. Mx-ERP includes many settings that modify system operations such as selection of the type of inventory accounting, FIFO or LIFO or Weighted Average.
