PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Context and objectives

 Context:

In a global context of changing production models (less pesticides and growth of organic), and increased competition, one of the leaders in the phytosanitary sector has chosen to rationalize its information system at a group level to support its global growth. In this context, adameo was asked to assist in the choice of the future WMS solution and in the management of its implementation.

• Design of a complete ‘ready-to-deploy’ model, with processes compliant with GS1 / EDIFACT / Seveso standards
• Strong involvement of the operational staff from the beginning of the project to build the solution with the project team and gain their support for the project
• Training of key users to ensure their autonomy and integrate their feedback into the solution
• Agile methodology of design and implementation
• ROI approach for each process deployed (level of automation, choice of man-machine transactions, social aspects)
• Promoting productive and ergonomic solutions
