Break Things Better: ERP to the Extreme

Mojgan Amini / Shawn Munro / Mark Hersberger / William Sweetman

UC San Diego is undergoing a physical, intellectual and cultural transformation. But we have a problem: the systems and processes that were once state-of-the-art are no longer adequate in supporting our core business functions. We’re not just talking about replacing a single ERP system, which is enough to bring an institution to its knees. We’re talking about transforming all core business systems and administrative processes across the campus. We’re talking Financial, HR, Research Administration, Student Information Systems, and more!

Kaizen = “Good Change”

Gary Fix

This session will present an overview of a "Kaizen Event" experience at UCSB intended to identify improvements to our Work Ticket Management System. Kaizen is Japanese for “Good Change” and “is the practice of continuous improvement”. Over an intensive 3 day period, we analyzed a routine work request - fix flooding in a locker room. Our work flow went from (“Best Case”) 49 steps (and 2 to 4 weeks to complete) to 18 steps. A 63% decrease of people steps! See a 50-Foot Flow Chart!
