Our exceptionally high rate of “First Time Right” MES implementation projects sets us apart from other suppliers. We credit this to our realistic and transparent approach to project delivery and our superior customer support starting right from project kick-off through to after-sales. We’re particularly proud of our:

Accurate Assessment of ROI

For some businesses, a new MES might not deliver the ROI that was initially expected. This is why it is important to consider the ROI before starting a major project. At CI Precision, we start by researching the processes and systems to develop a business case study. This takes a realistic look at all the costs involved in software implementation and process change against the reasonable expectation of ROI. We would only recommend committing to the project when it is agreed that the costs are reasonable and that there will be sufficient return on investment.

Phased Project Approach

Our experience has demonstrated that a phased project approach brings the most success. By focusing on one functional area at a time, the project team can focus on getting all the details right before moving on to the next stage. Early success can drive the team as well as justify the resource investment. During each project phase, we follow a standard lifecycle approach with clearly defined phases, documented activities and a gated approach to ensure everything is completed properly before progressing.

Realistic Project Resourcing

An MES project is usually part of a wider change initiative and requires significant input from the business, involving multidisciplinary teams and functions that may not necessarily be available for the project. From the outset, we will be very honest about the resource you are going to need. If there is a resource or skillset gap, then we will propose putting in additional specialists to assist. We understand the pressure to keep costs reasonable and will balance this with the direct financial gains from delivering the project benefits without delay.

Developer Support in Project Delivery

Our software developers work directly with our customers so they can benefit from an excellent transfer of knowledge around product capabilities and learn best practices on how to use the software most effectively. Because we have a very high staff retention rate, our customers will always be working with experienced staff who have excellent knowledge about the product and the industry.
