The store had installed it a few months ago but I (and most other shoppers) had never tried it \u2013 thinking it looked a bit confusing and not worth the hassle of learning how it worked, perhaps due to fear of not picking up quickly enough on how to use it. But the queue was so much shorter there, so I decided to try it. Although there was a learning curve to understand the process, for example to follow the on-screen instructions and to also get the knack of scanning barcodes properly, it wasn\u2019t as bad as I thought. I\u2019ll definitely use the self-checkout again.<\/p>\n<p><!--moreRead more...--> <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My point here is that it took a while to change my ingrained and learned behaviour.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.syspro.com\/ebook\/thinking-about-erp\/\"> How does this relate to ERP systems?<\/a> As <a title=\"Need for training when implementing new erp system\" href=\"https:\/\/ca.syspro.com\/blog\/education-training-and-certification\/change-and-the-need-for-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Simon has pointed out<\/a>, changing the user experience is not easy.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve decided to buy a new ERP system, or buy a new module in your current system, or make a concerted effort to use an existing module better; you\u2019ve probably done your homework and analyzed two important things:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What your business processes are<\/li>\n<li>How to configure (or buy) software to fit your business processes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And now you\u2019re eagerly looking forward to reaping the benefits of your planned improvements. But have you considered the third aspect, which is arguably the most important? Namely: the behavior of the people who will be affected by the changes. It\u2019s easy to configure (or buy) software, and easy to design new business processes, but it\u2019s hard to change people\u2019s behavior. It took me months to finally try the self-checkout stand, and most other shoppers still haven\u2019t tried it.<\/p>\n<p>In my experience, both as an ERP user and implementer, changing people\u2019s behaviour is one of the biggest obstacles in successfully implementing ERP software.<\/p>\n<p>As a novice ERP user doing purchasing, it was hard to change my own behaviour. My purchasing colleagues and I didn\u2019t truly believe that the system could credibly suggest the correct quantities of raw materials to order, so we stuck with the old method of simply ordering \u201cthe same as last time.\u201d We used to say that our inventory strategy was not \u201cJust in Time,\u201d it was \u201cJust in Case.\u201d Rifling through the massive filing cabinet to find the last purchase order from each supplier was a time-consuming but comforting ritual.<\/p>\n<p>Later, when I became a production scheduler and eventually realized the power of the system, I found it hard to change other users\u2019 behavior. Although I understood the importance of inventory accuracy, how could I convince a senior production worker (who had done it the same way for 20 years) that he must now start recording how much material he used?<\/p>\n<p>As a SYSPRO implementer, I\u2019ve seen the same thing. I worked with one company, coming off a legacy system, that could clearly benefit from SYSPRO\u2019s manufacturing modules. However the production manager, who had been manually scheduling, using a basic report for 15 years, was very uncomfortable with the sophistication of the new system \u2013 despite its demonstrated ability to automate his manual efforts. Emotionally he was still attached to the comfort of the old system. In the end we had to ease him into the sophisticated features by first creating a basic report in SYSPRO similar to his old report. Essentially it was a stepping stone.<\/p>\n<p>Software has a user\u2019s manual but there is no user\u2019s manual on how to change a person\u2019s behavior. Each person is different so different strategies are required. One general strategy that seems to work is to achieve a small \u201cwin,\u201d so that the person sees for themself that the new system will in fact benefit them, at least in a small way. This hopefully triggers \u201cthe light bulb moment\u201d and ideally the first win will cause a chain reaction of subsequent wins. As the saying goes: \u201ceat the elephant one bite at a time.\u201d Some other excellent suggestions are also in this <a title=\"Ten ways to get people to chan\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.hbr.org\/cs\/2012\/09\/ten_ways_to_get_people_to_chan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvard Business Review blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest advice is to think about how to encourage your people to buy in to your system, and your business will reap the rewards. And don\u2019t forget to try the supermarket\u2019s self-checkout station, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Last week I was at the supermarket in the very long queue at the \u201c12 items or less\u201d checkout station, when I glanced over at the adjacent self-checkout station.
