Key Factors for Success
We want you to have a successful Amper implementation!
From our collective industry experience and the success stories from some of our customers, we have identified 3 factors that are imperative to accomplishing Change Management. Check out the article below on the 3 C’s of Change Management.
🔑 5 Keys to Success
The Amper team took a look at which customers were maximizing their use of the system, and found 5 key factors that played a role in a successful implementation and overall adoption.
1. Engaged Champion
A Champion for the project at a high level (plant manager) who looks at the data and pushes the team on Amper goals
2. Project Owner vs. Champion
The main project owner is not that same person at a high level– the high level person just doesn’t have the time
3. KPI Integration
Amper Utilization or OEE data incorporated into plant KPI’s– looked at daily/weekly
4. Data Entry Enforcement
Operations Supervisor or Leads are involved in using data and making sure it’s entered
5. Recurring Meetings
Recurring meetings with the CSM to train, understand best practices, and get updates on new features
