[snip] is an international leader in the manufacture and installation of recycling and cleaning technology. Areas of difficulty included:

§          Proposing a solution for their engineering manufacturing system (to replace the existing MAPICS software). After much study it was decided to use Job Cost to meet this requirement, rather than the JDE manufacturing module. This turned out to be an excellent solution.

§          Reconcile group reporting requirements and, at the same time, meet stringent Belgian Government and EU requirements, as well as accommodate some unusual Belgian accounting practices.

§          Provide a customised Forecast module

My role as part of the team is to:

§          Provide application implementation advice in Distribution modules and Job Cost as well as assist in Financial modules

§          Perform Business Analysis workshops and prepare BA reports

§          Provide introductory training sessions to Seghers staff

§          Identify modifications, write business specifications and guide technical staff

[snip]is the first [snip] overseas yard to implement the full JDE shipyard solution, using the internet, with the server based in Singapore. The project was completed two weeks ahead of schedule.

My role as part of the [snip] roll-out team was to:

§          Provide application implementation advice

§          Perform Business Analysis workshops and prepare BA reports

§          Provide introductory training sessions to [snip] staff

§          Identify modifications, write business specifications and guide technical staff

[snip] Offshore Marine comprises five shipyards covering New Building, Conversion and Ship Repair. [snip]  are recognised world leaders in oil platform building. [snip] Shipyard implemented the full range of JDE’s Project Management suite. [snip]  migrated from their JDE World Software to JDE OneWorld via coexistence.

My role in the project involved Training, Business Analysis, Prototype, specification of modifications, Issue Resolution, Conversion and Live Support. I covered all modules. In addition, I had to be aware of all other aspects of KOM’s software including their eProcurement solution, done by local business partner, S&I.

The whole application implementation was fully subcontracted to me by S&I (Singapore).

6 Months (50% time) 2002

 

[snip] is a fast growing Malaysian Heavy Highway construction and maintenance company. They implemented the full range of JDE’s OW Xe construction suite. In particular I covered Purchasing, Subcontract and Equipment Management. In addition, they commissioned the local JDE Partner, Sunway, to undertake the customisation of a fully integrated construction submodule. This included:

§          Tendering module

§          Treasury

§          Site Diary (daily valuation)

§          Client Billing

§          Subcontract progress claim

My role was in the overall design concept, detailed specification of business requirements, guidance and advice for the technical staff, problem resolution, testing and final presentation to the customer.

Kuala Lumpur

6 Months (50% time) 2002

 

[snip] is a major construction company based in Malaysia with many different businesses and overseas projects. It is also one of the few really successful and profitable construction enterprises in Malaysia. They have used JDE for many years but they recently concluded their upgrade from World to OW. My involvement was as part of the JDE Partner's project team:

§          General involvement in all modules

§          Implementing subcontract management in OW

§        Presentation of overall JDE concept and design to senior management and assessment of modifications in the light of the overall integration. Acting as mediator between the customer and project team

§          Requirement gathering and business specification for a customised equipment rental subsystem. This subsystem was eventually written in VB, using my basic specification, by [snip] the[snip]lves.

§          Preliminary involvement with [snip]'s internet based purchasing project, advising on integration at the "touch points". Eventually [snip] bought [snip].

This project was very demanding especially in management terms, including people and expectation management. Although I was not the project manager, I was usually viewed as the focal point for liaison with customer management for the presentation of how the system was intended to satisfy their business requirements.

Johor Baru, Malaysia 2001

3 Months (75% time)

 

[snip] is one of the 3 large groups of shipbuilders that dominate the busy Singapore/Johor shipping region, the others being the [snip] and [snip] groups. All three groups use JDE in at least some part of their operations and I have had involvement in all three at one time or another. All three are government related and they all bear the historical legacy of fairly bureaucratic procedures. [snip] itself has three distinct and very different divisions: Shipbuilding, Ship repair and Engineering. I visited [snip] in 1995 and again in 2001 when they undertook a thorough review of their computing systems. At my suggestion, they decided to stay with JDE World Software, there being no compelling reason to migrate to OW. Since they had a large number of customised subsystems they decided to try to streamline their processes and use new JDE modules and features. So they launched a long "optimisation" program starting with fresh requirements gathering and moving on to full retraining and finally implementation of new features, coinciding with their upgrade to World version A7.3.

Again, this required strong presentation skills on my part since I had to present to management and do all of the training apart from purchasing and inventory. The classes often contained up to 40 people at a time with a very great variation in familiarity with JDE.
