Project Manager responsible for the implementation from its start utilizing MS Project and other Office programs (Word, Power Point, Excel and Outlook) to define tasks, assign and track resources, document business processes, report actual against budget and adjust time lines to fit realistic schedules to its successful on time and under budget completion.

Because Western Industries was too lean to dedicate a traditional ERP team for the three year implementation, I developed a unique project plan: With the approval of the CEO, CFO and Divisional Controllers hired & managed six Business Analysts (one for each Division) set up a Training facility at the pilot Division and with all, took over six months formal Baan training bringing all the Divisional specialists (all the Purchasing Agents for Purchasing module, Engineers, Sales, Finance etc.) in to training to document current and future practices.

Using Visio, Word, Tools 6.1, Crystal & Arpeggio report writers) developed new company/Baan processes and procedures. Developed over a thousand pages of data models, end user training manuals as well custom reports and forms.

Worked closely with CFO and Divisional Controllers to develop a unified General Ledger and dimensions (Baan ERP sub-ledger accounts) as well as the initial financial integration’s (the mapping of the logistical events to their financial results). Taught Baan costing methodology to Division Controllers, led discussion and helped develop final costing process.

Leading cross functional teams of up to twenty at each of six Divisions, trained and worked with end users to integrate the new Baan procedures into best business practices.

As analyst and programmer, integrated shop/labor reporting across multiple databases, over $50,000 per year per Division in HR/payroll costs saved. Developed data model of reporting needs used by Accounting and Operations (in Visio).

Installed and tested SQL-7 and Citrix Metaframe in an N-tiered multi-server design to support Ceridian Source 550 HR & Payroll centralized database of over 156 tables for a distributed user environment of five Divisions in three states covering 1600 employees.
