Managing change: 5 steps you can follow
If your manufacturing company is focused on digital transformation and considering implementing some kind of organizational change like implementing a manufacturing software, change management is probably one of your main concerns.
It’s a challenging process which should be carefully managed and requires strategic thinking and planning to ensure its success. Since all companies will at least at some point deal with some kind of change – and to guide them through the implementation of a production solution, which allows them to collect data in real-time through mobile devices, we have collected five simple steps that you might take into account when preparing your change management.
Step 1: Answer the preliminary questions: What? Why?
Usually change occurs to improve either a process, a product or an outcome and for a specific reason.
You will not be changing just by changing. It is certainly part of a strategic plan that will guide your company in a near future. It is important to pinpoint why are you layering a new manufacturing software for production management over the old spreadsheet or paper form, the reasons behind changes in processes and/or operations. To cut costs? To Reduce Wastes? To improve efficiency?
By having and sharing this answers you will engage different stakeholders in helping you in the change management process: If they understand how a manufacturing software can help them perform better, you task is much easier!
Step 2: Make a people-centric plan
Having a plan will help you. So will make it about the people. Start by embracing your vision of how will success looks like after the change and define the roadmap: Where you are now and the steps you need to take to achieve the final destination. Planning will prevent sudden and impredictable changes, will dramatically reduce the impact of new infrastructures, processes or manufacturing software in your business. Even a new tool for production management, which might seem very technological, will depend on your employees embracing and using it, so make sure you keep them as the center of your plan.
One tip we can share is to start by identifying your key stakeholders, informal leaders who will be affected by the changes but can also affect the entire group of workers. If possible, involve them in the planning phase of your change management plan and consider their inputs!
Step 3: Listen and learn
Change can bring fear and uncertainty, causing resistance. Connect with your employees, listen to their concerns and try to address them as much as possible. It will empower them with information to understand the new processes and the reasons for change.
Communicate with them and try to have them thinking about the big picture, the importance of the change to the organization as a whole and therefore to each employee as one. You might find some resistance – still listen to dissenting voices, who can give you important insights.
Step 4: Provide the most important Tools
Apart from giving your workers adequate tools to perform their new tasks, or the old tasks according to the new processes, you need to train them. They need to feel comfortable with the new technology and train their proficiency. Consider this training period as a chance to troubleshoot problems and improve the implementation.
Step 5: Give it time
Technological changes can be quick. The setup and implementation process of manufacturing software is very fast but cultural change doesn’t happen overnight and requires more time. It also depends on the change that you are trying to implement, but overall it's a long term effort.
Change can be a bumpy road but if you follow these steps you will probably be able to lead your organization through change and overcome every challenge that arise.
After your plan is prepared and you are sure that it's time to implement a manufacturing software, you have to decide what goals should this software achieve and what assistance would you likely require from the software developer's technical support. Choose a software solution for the manufacturing operation you need from the solution list  and then apply for a commercial offer on its page. A technical support specialist will get in touch soon to arrange a webinar, where you can look on a CAD/CAM/ERP solution closely and ask all the questions you have.
