Manufacturing ERP Webinar Details
This interactive session goes far beyond a standard, polished software demonstration. Instead, it provides a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the actual digital transformation of Charl-Pol, a prominent Canadian heavy equipment manufacturer with five production plants. The expert panel will share first-hand experiences on managing corporate change, overcoming team resistance, and achieving cross-functional alignment across multiple facilities.
By focusing on practical strategies rather than theoretical concepts, the speakers will detail how Charl-Pol turned its fragmented operational data into a unified, strategic asset.
What will be discussed during the session
The panel will break down the exact framework used to successfully implement Epicor ERP across multiple manufacturing sites. The discussion will cover the following key themes:
- The ERP evaluation process: How to properly assess system requirements for complex engineering-to-production pipelines while avoiding common vendor bias.
- The crawl, walk, run methodology: Why a phased deployment strategy is critical to minimize operational downtime, manage risk, and drive user adoption.
- Strict scope control: Actionable tactics to keep large-scale technology projects on schedule and prevent budget overruns.
- Departmental alignment: Practical methods for connecting engineering, production, and finance departments to build a single source of truth.
What is the primary cause of failure in a manufacturing ERP deployment?
The biggest challenge is almost always change management and cultural resistance rather than the software itself. Success requires aligning diverse teams, from engineering to the shop floor, through clear communication and a gradual training process.
How does a phased implementation approach lower risk?
A phased approach allows an organization to stabilize its core data and basic workflows before introducing advanced automation. This prevents user fatigue and ensures operational continuity.
Why is scope control so critical for multi-site manufacturers?
Without strict scope control, individual plant preferences can lead to costly software customizations. Establishing a strong governance framework keeps the focus on shared, standard operational goals.
