Define the tactical goals of the implementation

The tactical goals are those that we also want to achieve apart from the ROI. However in order to better focus the overall implementation efforts there is a need to tie these with the overall ROI. It is important to note that finishing on time and on budget are not tactical implementation goals. They are givens. We do not at any time set out to fail in this crucial area.

For example, if one of the ROI goals is to achieve a 10% reduction in inventory levels. (Warehouse materials for maintenance in this case) Then we would be advised to address this requirement in the tactical goals. This may be expressed as increases in inventory rotations and of the service level of maintenance stock. These two indicators provide a good guide to creating processes for the efficiency and effectiveness areas of warehouse management.

Some other typical tactical goals of the implementation may include:

* increases in the estimations accuracy index

* increases in maintenance preparedness

* increases in planned and scheduled work

* better communications between the warehousing and maintenance departments

* better internal client focus from the human resources department to the maintenance department

* overall reduction in information management systems
