The implementation stage delivers the new ystem to the participants, it often involves a major change in the way the organisation operates. To insure that the new system is implemented sucessfully, it must be carefully planned. This implementation plan details participant training, the conversion method and the system testing.

 

                                                     TRAINING

 

training ensures participants can use the new system. The type of training is dependent upon the the existing knowledge of the participants and the scope of change. Management may decide to train some leaders and instruct them to instruct others. They may also employ training specialists or create training manuals.

 

Technical support staff are often employed or out-sourced for use as an 'as-needed' basis 

 

 

There are 4 types ofconversion they are:

1) Direct

2) Parallel

3) Phased

4) Pilot

 

Direct involves the immediate change from the old system to the new system. It is not often used even though the cost is minimal because it does not allow any 'real world' checking of the system.

 

 

Parallel involves the old and new systems working simultaneously . If there are any problems they can be resolved before the old system is discontinued.

 

 

Phased implementation involves the gradual change into the new system. Certain operations are brought online while areas of the old system remain

 

Pilot conversion is where the full system is trialed in a few branches of the organisation (KFC/McDonalds)

 

once all the problems are sorted out witht eh system it is Implemented to every branch
