| We deployed a team
to study the customer's entire Supply Chain and map
it to the best practices in the industry. Using our
large project, management expertise the Warehouse Management
Solution was customized to customer's requirements.
This customized application was developed across four
countries, with the majority of the work done in a dedicated
Offshore Development Center in India. We introduced
its SEI CMM Level 5 Software Development methodology
and integrated with the customer's development model
in every phase of the project to ensure process compliance
and consistency. This was critical as the development
was taking place concurrently across the globe.
A fast team ramp-up to 60 consultants in 45 days resulted
in a total number of 1200 Applications being designed,
developed, tested and delivered. We developed Test Plans
and supported testing of various Interfaces with Material
Handling Systems (MHS), Order Management Systems (OMS),
Financial Systems and Carrier Systems. The team customized
the Warehouse Management System's web-based issues management
tool, which was extensively used in systems integration
testing and the Go-Live phase of the project.
The new fully automated facility has increased inventory
and shipment accuracy. There have also been significant
cost savings due to the successful deployment of our
onsite-offshore development methodology. |
