ROLLING OUT AN ENTERPRISE SYTEM ROBERT BARKER DIRECTOR CONTROLS AND AUTOMATION
THE BIG IDEA WE ARE ALL THINKING IT…. • INTER CONNECTION OF DISPARATE DATA SOURCES • DATA BASED DECISION MAKING • PREDICTIVE MODELING • PRODUCTION REPORTING • FAILURE ANALYSIS • THE HUNDRED AND ONE OTHER REASONS TO BUILD AN ENTERPRISE SYSTEM HOW TO GET IT STARTED?
IMPOSSIBLE MISSION JUST GIVE ME $15MM AND IN 4 YEARS I’LL BUILD THIS
FIRST STEP THINK ABOUT SPECIFIC DATA ‘CUSTOMERS’ • EVERYONE HAS A NEED FOR DATA LET SOMEONE ELSE’S PROJECT DRIVE IT GET ONE GATEWAY INSTALLED
THE DEFENDER THERE IS A PROCESS OF SOME TYPE IN PLACE USED TO MAKE DECISIONS PEOPLE USE IT AS PART OF THEIR JOBS • MOST PEOPLE HATE CHANGE USE A MIGRATION STRATEGY • BE AWARE OF CHANGING LOOK AND FEEL
THE DEFENDER $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ?
PRACTICAL CHALLENGES IMPACTS MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS • CHANGES HOW PEOPLE DO THEIR JOBS • MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES REQUIRED RESOURCES (TIME/MONEY) • PROJECT JUSTIFICATION INTERFACING WITH EXISTING SYSTEMS • CUSTOM CODE • OLD TECHNOLOGY
PROJECT PLANNING BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND • NAMING CONVENTIONS • FOLDER STRUCTURES • TEMPLATES STEP WISE IMPLEMENTATION (SHORT TIME LINES) • EACH STEP JUSTIFIED BY PAYBACK • LOOK FOR OTHER PROJECTS TO SUPPORT • KEEP THE FINAL PRODUCT IN MIND
BUILD AN IPHONE • CREATE A REPORT OR A TOOL SOMEONE DIDN’T KNOW THEY NEEDED • MAKE SURE IT ADDS VALUE TO THE USER • CREATE A PULL • SHOW IT TO PEOPLE IN OTHER ROLES OR OTHER FACILITIES
PROGRAM vs PROJECT Etc… • Program Objectives and Key Deliverables • Clarity in Near Term Targets • Conceptual about Long Term Year x Etc… Year x Vision Statement GOAL J GOAL K GOAL L 2021 GOAL G GOAL H GOAL I 2020 GOAL D GOAL E GOAL F 2019 • Stakeholder and Customer Benefits : • Productivity gains • Reliability improvements • Capacity increase • Other Programs Supported GOAL A GOAL B GOAL C 2018
REPORTING ROLL OUT WITH A BUSINESS OBJECTIVE • TRY FOR STANDARDIZATION • MAINTAIN LOOK AND FEEL • MAKE A REPORT VIEW WINDOW, PROMOTE ONLINE USE NOT PRINTING CREATE A PROCESS BASED ON THE DATA • REGULAR SCHEDULED REVIEW MEETINGS • TRACK ACTION ITEMS AND STATUS IN IGNITION • THE DATA ITSELF ISN’T THE POINT ITS ONLY VALUE IS IN HOW ITS USED
ORGANIZATIONAL CHALLENGES WHO OWNS THE EXISTING DATA AND HOW DOES IT MOVE • EXISTING REPORTING AND DATA CONSUMERS TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES • WHAT IS IN YOUR DATABASE? COMMUNICATION • REGULAR MEETINGS IF ITS NOT AN HMI MAKE READ ONLY CONNECTIONS • SHORT CIRCUITS LOTS OF POTENTIAL CONFLICT
IT FOREIGN DATABASE ACCESS BACKUPS PATCHING USER RIGHTS SERVER ADMINISTRATION FIREWALL RULES PROCESS vs BUSINESS NETWORK • INTERFACING • SECURITY • OWNERSHIP and POLICIES
TAGS AND DATA POINTS GET ANY EXISTING TAG LISTS LONG BEFORE INSTALLATION P+IDs / PFDs GET A POINT OF CONTACT AT EACH NEW FACILITY • FACILITY MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FOR SPENDING TIME ON THE PROJECT • INITIAL KICK OFF MEETING WITH THE FACILITY WELL IN ADVANCE TRY FOR A STANDARD FOLDER AND NAME STRUCTURE MORE DESCRIPTION IS BETTER • THINK ABOUT THE NEXT GUY, BE VERBOSE IF YOU CAN
