19 Education and Training We were putting together a team, we were only going to be as good as the team so we invested in them: o Boot Camp (3days) o MRO Workshop (2 days) o Preparing Test Scripts Learning Accelerator Short process workshops o Where most help desk calls were coming from www.peralconsultng.co.uk19

20 Services and Support Lawson Consultants o Specialist in subject area and Smart Office scripts etc. KPIT specialist o Full time experienced with MRO o Detail knowledge of M3 Make good use of Xtreme support o Challenge every answer o Prepare the business case documents and submit. o Progress chase regularly o Escalate when necessary Make full use of Stepwise o Really good for tracking actions on issues www.peralconsultng.co.uk20

21 Lessons Learned What we did well: o Vision for the project was good. Management had a vision to bring the business process of various functional departments like Planning, Card Control, Hangar, and Commercial (Invoicing) etc. with M3. o Project Management team’s vision of no modification was executed well, where completed business process has been designed based on std. M3 o Enough time line was dedicated towards testing, where various previously processed aircrafts were trialled with new business process. o Heavily used Infor Smart Office functionality of Scripts and Personalization to avoid any system modification and improve / simplify the processes. o Wherever bugs or incomplete functionality were found in M3, all got logged with Infor and corrected each of them through continued persistence and rigid testing, which helped M3 as a product. www.peralconsultng.co.uk21

22 Lessons Learned What we can de better next time: o Better communications between sites & departments. Because M3 is so integrated between departments, we need to have better understandings of how each departments processes effect other areas of the business. o Ask more questions; put the emphasis on people to supply as much information as possible o Documentation is essential o User setup, access issues as well as settings, canvas and personalisation’s needed a bit more thought. o Since Process Owners were not able dedicate much needed time for trials, it was left for M3 team to carry on the trial and complete it. What we should do more of: o Process Owners continue to work together to improve processes further o Increase the communication between departments and sites www.peralconsultng.co.uk22
