C&D

. Future Plans
-
If C&D Foods had freed enough management time to enable effective
project management they would have faced less challenges in implementation.
This has led them to rethink the way that they currently manage
their IT infrastructure. They have decided to split Jimmy Dalton’s
current role as Administration Manager in two: Cost Accountant
and IT Manager. This will enable the new IT Manager to focus exclusively
on the development and day-to-day operation of the new IT infrastructure.
One of the first tasks of the new IT Manager is to brief Terry
Carr on his resource requirements in order to roll the ERP system
to the wider business and start to bring the benefits originally
planned for on line.
-
Whilst there is evidence of cost savings and efficiencies as a
result of the implementation of the new back-office system, the
benefits to date have been in improved administration processes.
The next phase will see the extension of ERP system to the wider
business. The TROPOS product has been designed with this capability
in mind and should deliver substantial benefits going forward.
Over the coming months C&D Foods will be able to move from
the traditional environment of bulk stock holding to a product-controlled,
traceable handling of products. The system will trace product
from the original supplier, through the manufacturing process
and to the final customer.
