PLANET-ROCKLOG SYSTEM-DOKUMENTATION & GO LIVE-APPROACH
A) PLANET-ROCKLOG COMPONENTS
Control-Center
PLANET-ROCKLOG is a cloud-based html web-application. Customers just need an URL for launching the control-center. No further requirements are necessary.
Tumblr media
The control center provides important functionality for power users like ...
live data administration (e.g. orders, stocks)
master data administration (e.g. items, locations, users, …)
public data administration (e.g. webshops)
interface administration (e.g. file-based interfaces, xml)
history administration (e.g. transaction recording)
system administration (e.g. numberranges, labels)
After the user is logged in, the control-center shows the sunburst graph:
Thousands of storage locations on one spot. In order to find a specific stock, one clicks on the sunburst or uses the search field (right hand up corner).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For an easy navigation the user can revisit the most recently used processes and public links using the shortcut bar.
Tumblr media
The carddesk offers all data types; both master, live and history data. Business processes are related to certain data types. A permission concept guarantees that only authorised users are granted access.
Description carddesk
Tumblr media
Extra-Features
TIME-SERIES
Time-series (52 weeks from today)  All data can be tagged with timestamps. All data can be rendered as per those timestamps. One can use this for instance for easy shelf-life or appointment control. By clicking in one calendar week, one gets all the data as per the chosen week.
Tumblr media
All data is available in card or table format.
Tumblr media
ORDER CREATION
Beside using PLANET-ROCKLOG’S picking strategy to prepare an outbound order one can also perform a flexible bin-packing that is supported by an easy-to-understand barchart. Just select stocks into the order and watch as the order gets filled.
Tumblr media
FLEXIBLE FIELD CREATION
Tumblr media
a) By activating the edit mode (previous  picture), one can create a new custom card field.
Tumblr media
b) Choose field type (e.g. text) and search mode (strict, fuzzy or none).
Tumblr media
Be aware that those changes are immediately saved, no explicit save action is required.
SEARCH FIELD
PLANET-ROCKLOG comes with a powerful search engine allowing the user to search any data. The search scopes both the current data type (e.g. stocks) but also any related card. So one can search for instance stocks by entering a search text that is related to the respective article or location.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Example: By entering “logim” the system delivers 2 corresponding stock:
lot = Logimat
lot = Logimat-1
Since the search mode for the field “lot” is fuzzy, PLANET-ROCKLOG delivers all cards (stocks) with the expression “logim”.
User Front-End
DESKTOP / SMARTPHONE                
Tumblr media
The user front-end is easy to understand, secure and fully responsive. For more screenshots see PLANET-ROCKLOG PROCESSES.
Hardware for Scanning
PLANET-ROCKLOG comes with scanning support for cable-connected scanners, Bluetooth scanners and also for mobile device cameras. Additional software (Apps) are not needed.
Tumblr media
The following specs will provide very good and reliable performance.
Tumblr media
Locations
The sunburst graph displays the warehouse locations in a handy way, allowing the user to choose a set of locations with ease:
Tumblr media
Each stock (e.g. pallet) is precisely located and can be found in a very easy way (by clicking a certain element the sunburst).
The location information (like zone, shelf, location, level and capacity) can be upload up-front using an excel file, an interface or even by manual creation in the control center.
Once the location master in in place, one can print location labels using an ordinary office printer (using micro perforated labels).
Location-Label
PLANET-ROCKLOG provides small and mid-size labels:
Tumblr media
Location-Types
Tumblr media
Location Examples
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
B) PLANET-ROCKLOG PROCESSES
PLANET-ROCKLOG provides all relevant warehousing processes:
Inbound of Stocks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It takes 10 seconds to inbound a single stock by smartphone. Existing barcodes (e.g. SSCC on pallets) can be used in PLANET-ROCKLOG.
Transfer of Stocks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It takes two clicks to transfer a single stock from one location to another one. All can be done be finger tab or by activating the smartphone camera.
Outbound of Stocks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The outbound process is also very easy: Either the picker does it spontaneously or the system guides the picker through the warehouse.
By scanning the position the picker confirms the quantity and puts the item into the basket. By checking out the goods at the end the picking process is finished.
Inventory of Stocks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The inventory process is as easy as the others:: Either the user does it spontaneously or the system guides the user through the warehouse.
By scanning the position the user confirms the quantity (and other relevant stock attributs) and saves the inputs by choosing an appropriate inventory reason.
Stock Management
Stocks can be altered via admin or user interface. Two modes are possible:
single mutation of stocks
mass mutation of n stocks
Screenshot(s)
Tumblr media
The edition of stock information is done in some seconds. Just select the stock (by scanning or search input) and editing the relevant stock attributes.
Dashboards(s)
PLANET-ROCKLOG delivers customized dashboards. Dashboards combine both master, live and historical data to provide aggregate performance indicators. In the following we will cover two examples.
LOCATION COVERAGE
This dashboard shows online the available free capacity per location or warehouse area.
Tumblr media

Unser Team
Unsere Firma besteht aus 3 unterschiedlichen Charakteren; die jeder für sich ein Spezialgebiet beherrscht. 
Die Kunst in einer solchen Struktur besteht darin, dass die Informationen untereinander so fliessen, dass uns der Blick für das “Grosse Ganze” nicht abhanden kommt.
RICHARD ARNOLD
Kontakt: [email protected] / 079 77 55 772 Spezialgebiet: Projektleitung / Analyse / Beratung Motto: Reingehen - Retten - Rausgehen
Tumblr media
Was mir gefällt: Ich lerne gerne neue Leute und Firmen kennen. Mich in eine Firma zu integrieren, um dann mit den Leuten vor Ort ein Ziel zu erreichen ist für mich sehr wertvoll. 
Wie ich arbeite: Ich bin dort, wo mein Rucksack ist. Alles was ich benötige ist mein Hirn, mein Chromebook und mein Natel. Daneben benutze ich gerne den ÖV und mein Kickboard.
Wo ich arbeite: Am liebsten unterwegs, bei Kunden, auf dem Bahnhof, im Café nebenan oder dort, wo es mich braucht.
Was ich den Kunden bringe: Der Kunde hat meist eine Herausforderung, für die ihm die richtigen Ressourcen fehlen: 
keine Zeit
kein Wissen
keine Mitarbeiter oder 
kein geeignetes System
Hier komme ich ins Spiel: Ich kann durch meine Erfahrung sehr rasch Resultate in Form von Entscheidungsgrundlagen bereitstellen, um das Projekt wieder auf Kurs zu bringen. Daraus ergibt sich meist ein Mandat, welches ich dann für den Kunden wahrnehme:
Projektleitung
Systemausschreibung
Systemeinführung
Interim-Einsatz

ERP Einführung bei Schweizer KMU
Es kommt immer wieder mal vor, dass trotz einer guten Evaluation eine Systemeinführung “in die Hose geht”. So auch bei einem unserer Kunden aus der Industrie, der uns für eine Expertise (Bestandsaufnahme) geholt hat für ein eine ERP-Einführung (altes ERP durch neues ERP ersetzen).
Unser primärer Auftrag für die Expertise war:
Klärung, wo das Projekt steht betr. Inhalten, Budget und Zeitplan
Klärung, was es braucht, um das Projekt zu Ende zu führen
Ausarbeiten von Varianten, falls das Projekt nicht umgesetzt werden kann
Tumblr media
Unsere Expertise hat gezeigt, dass die Schlagseite zu gross war, um das Projekt zu retten. Die Haupt-Gründe für das Scheitern waren:
Der Gap zwischen erbrachten Leistungen und Budget war zu gross
Der Lieferant hat vertragliche Abmachungen nicht eingehalten
Der Kunde hat das Vertrauen in das Projekt / Lieferant verloren
Aus Basis einer Risikoabwägung haben den Kunden für folgendes Turnaround-Szenario motiviert:
Evaluation einer Lösung auf Basis des bestehenden ERP
Re-Start des Projekts mit neuer Projektleitung
Auflösung des Vertrags mit Systemlieferant
Es ist uns gelungen, den Kunden durch dieses schwierige Unterfangen zu begleiten. Oberste Prämisse für uns war und ist, dass das Tagesgeschäft des Kunden nicht gefährdet wird.
Durch den Fakt, dass auf dem bisherigen ERP das Projekt nun umgesetzt wird, haben wir sichergestellt, dass a) die Benutzer das System bereits kennen (wichtig für das Spezifizieren und Testen) und b) die Bewegungsdaten nicht migriert werden müssen.
Aus einem Projekt, dass ursprünglich als Hochrisiko-“Big Bang”-Einführung geplant war ist nun ein agiles Projekt geworden, wo neue Funktionen und Prozesse iterativ eingeführt werden können. Safety Frist!
Warum konnte es überhaupt zu diesen Problemen kommen? Nun, wenn man sich bewusst ist, dass immer noch mehr als 50% aller IT-Projekte in den Sand gesetzt werden, dann macht es die Sache nicht leichter, aber man versteht wenigsten, dass ein Scheitern wahrscheinlich ist.
Wir haben eine lange Erfahrung von Systemeinführungen und egal, ob man ein ERP oder ein WMS einführt, wir beachten immer die folgenden Punkte:
Konzept
Keine Einführung ohne ein abgenommenes Konzept. Überspitzt formuliert ist es egal, ob das Konzept die finale “Wahrheit” beschreibt (was selten der Fall ist); wichtig ist, dass man eine Basis hat, auf die man sich berufen kann für wichtig Entscheide. Dabei meine ich vor allem Entscheide, die der Auftraggeber fällen muss.
Testen, Teste, Testen
Keine Einführung von Funktionen ohne gründliches Testen. Schnittstellen, Prozesse, Printing, etc. sind zu testen und zwar während des ganzen Projektes. Dazu benötigt man die klassische Key User-Organisation; denn ohne gute Key User führt keiner ein System ein.
Reporting
Keine Einführung ohne ein wirksames Projekt-Reporting. Sind die Kosten im Griff? Wurden Meilensteine erfolgreich erreicht?
Das sind alles Fragen, die der Auftraggeber benötigt, um Entscheide fällen zu können. Dabei geht es darum, Risiken, Mehrkosten oder Zeitverzögerungen vorab zu erkennen, um entsprechende zu reagieren. 
Tumblr media
Natürlich benötigt man auch immer noch etwas Glück, aber in der Regel kann jedes Projekt erfolgreich umgesetzt werden, wenn es auf der richtigen Basis steht. Dazu noch 2, 3 Inputs:
Key User haben keine Zeit: Fordern Sie diese beim Auftraggeber ein oder unterbrechen Sie das Projekt, um die Ressourcenfrage zu klären.
Mehrkosten zeichnen sich ab: Kommunizieren Sie Mehrkosten vorab und zeigen Sie auf, dass es Alternativen gibt. Wichtig ist, Wünsche von Notwendigem zu unterscheiden.
Der Zeitplan kann nicht eingehalten werden: Kommt immer mal vor, ist jedoch durch vorausschauende Planung von überscheubaren Etappen vermeidbar.
Akzeptanz der Lösung ist nicht gegeben: Sehr wichtiger Punkt! Holen Sie die Key User ins Boot und erarbeiten Sie zusammen eine Lösung, die tragfähig ist.
Aus all diesen Gründen und Ausführungen empfehlen wir keine Einführung auf einen Moment (Big Bang), sondern ein iteratives Vorgehen. Und ja, sind Sie sich bewusst, dass am Schluss die Lösung nicht mehr derjenigen im Konzept entspricht, sondern ein Konzept plus Lösung da ist. Jedes Projekt unterliegt einer natürlichen Evolution und Lernkurve, die bei iterativem Vorgehen einfließest.
