Phase 6 - Consolidated Pilot
B. Consolidated Pilot:
· 2 to 3 weeks
of committed project team effort.
· Consists of a
fully integrated system test incorporating modifications, enhancements and data conversion
programs. A full "dress rehearsal" for your go live date.
· Daily
consolidated pilot scripts must be created to provide structure, organization and specific
direction for all module owners.
· Test product
flow starting with demand creation and order entry, moving to planning material
procurement and manufacturing and ending with shipping, invoicing, collection and review
of financial results.
· Focus your
attention on the demands and constraints each module places on another as the pilot is
conducted in a fully integrated environment.
· Project
manager, module owners and project team are responsible to update and resolve the issue
logs. All issue logs must be resolved prior to the completion of the consolidated pilot.
· The ESC and
project team must understand that the consolidated pilot is the proving ground for whether
all systems are ready for the cutover date. If the project team conducts a successful
consolidated pilot then SCL will support proceeding to the next step. If unsuccessful, SCL
will evaluate the current circumstances and problems and recommend alternative plans.
Action plans can vary from simply extending the pilot to allow for more testing or as
complex as pushing out the cutover date in order to re-start a second consolidated pilot.
