Phased Approach

 
Phase I Elements
 

Phase I typically focuses on gaining an understanding of a company’s “who, what, where, when and why”. This is accomplished first through a Requirements Assessment. Whether this assessment looks at the company’s systems, operation or the entire business, information gathered here becomes the foundation of the entire project.

Complementing the assessment, Education & Training is often performed to ensure all individuals involved in the project have a common understanding of terms and concepts. This education process can be further enhanced through facilitating Application Workshops. These workshops allow key personnel to put their intimate knowledge of their company to work.

The result of these steps is often the identification of “quick-hitting” areas of improvement. This Short Term Improvement Identification/Recommendation process has the ability to provide short-term payback that can be used to fund the project. It is this ability to “pay our way” that separates Zenobia & Associates Consulting from the competition.

Phase II Elements

 

Phase II is generally where the company’s specific needs are addressed in detail. If the project is systems focused, Zenobia & Associates Consultants can assist in a Vendor Selection for manufacturing, engineering or a specific application software/hardware solution. Our expertise in the major hardware/software packages helps our clients in streamlining and controlling this process.

Detailed Implementation Planning provides a finite outline for the implementation of a systems or operational improvements program. This plan considers all tasks, resources and costs involved in implementation. Zenobia & Associates Consulting offers our clients the benefits of having conducting numerous implementations and the knowledge of the pitfalls and opportunities that accompany those implementations.

In addition to the above, this is typically the time when Short Term Improvements are implemented. Real savings begin to be generated almost immediately and provide the return on investment necessary to justify systems purchases and capital improvements.

Phase III & IV Elements

Zenobia & Associates offers a full range of Implementation Services and Support. Whether a company is looking for occasional guidance or in-depth project management, Zenobia & Associates has the expertise and resources to assure your project is implemented in a timely, cost efficient manner.
