Stabilization Period
Stabilization Process:
- Begins once the ERP system is live, initial training is completed, and critical data conversion is done.
- Typically lasts 60 to 90 days after Go-live.
- IT staff monitors system infrastructure for response times and ensures proper backup procedures.
- Subject matter experts assist users in operating the system correctly.
Issues During Stabilization:
- Customizations may complicate processes if they aren’t documented or communicated properly.
- Users may struggle with ad hoc activities due to unfamiliarity, not system limitations.
- Errors arise as users adapt to new processes.
- Parallel implementation with legacy systems can lead to confusion and high labor demands.
- Reconciliation between ERP and legacy systems is necessary to validate data inputs and outputs.
