Date / Time:June 12, 2003 9:05 - 9:50 AM
Delivered At:4th Annual Leadership Conference
Length:45 min
Description:The latest extension of Six Sigma has DFSS methodologies being applied to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations and related Information Technology (IT) activities with demonstrated measurable bottom line benefits. As ERP software becomes more complex and effects every facet of our businesses, the impact and the gravity of defects or delays will escalate. DFSS integrated with an ERP project can optimize both the implementation process and the deliverables. A Case Study will be used to demonstrate how DFSS tools and concepts were applied to a standard ERP implementation methodology. This session will include:
· How to successfully kick-start the project
· Tracking of $ Savings and benefits realization
· Ensure fewer changes after “go live” date
· Keeping on-schedule and within budget
· Delivering streamlined/improved processes
