Health Check for ERP Systems

Three Stage Business Review

Systems do not run a business, people do. Your business system is probably quite capable of operating your business – it is what you do with it that is important. It requires detailed knowledge of both the business and the packages used to pull all of the functional strands together so that they work in unison. This is the whole point of an integrated business system.

Directors and senior managers are usually aware of their systems shortcomings. Given an ideal world, they would rid them of all the superfluous data and conflicting operations and implement 'clean' workable systems that make sense and accurately reflect what their business does today. It doesn't usually happen until a crisis point is reached and they find themselves facing unplanned reactive disruption or plummeting profits.

MPBA have made the next step very easy. Our experience has taught us that Health Checks are the most effective method of establishing what the existing systems are meant to be providing to the business and their effectiveness in fulfilling departmental and corporate objectives. In our experience, 90% of businesses have significant scope for improvements in performance.

These Health Checks usually take up to five days and are followed up with an initial report as to where we identify improvements can be made. In around 80% of cases the 'quick fixes' alone that we recommend after our initial investigation generate financial savings that deem the project to be cost neutral.

Following the Health Check we carry out a concentrated business review. The object is to look at the business as an entity and review the roles, responsibilities and processes in order to locate the weaknesses in the business framework and operations. We then look deeper into the issues causing them. The focus of this review is totally system independent and will also define any gaps between your current ways of working and business or industry best practice.

We then assess your company's ability to change and create an implementation plan that reflects this. During this phase we gain consensus for the opportunities for improvement, quantifying the benefits for each part of the business. We are very effective in developing corporate 'good will' for the project and in providing the energy to drive it forward. As always, the emphasis is on appropriate, tangible and measurable results.
