Secrets to serialization project management

Serialization involves multiple, complex technology components—package execution controllers, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), PLCs, machine vision, sensors, scanners, encoding, inspection and verification systems—all feeding information to complex IT layers—device-level, line-level, plant-level, enterprise, networked to outside trading partners.

Project stewardship must include standardized policies and procedures—even standardized dashboards—to clearly communicate goals and measure progress. 

Experts stress flexibility and accommodating change when necessary.  Project managers must balance resource allocation internally, define ROI, manage procurement and contracts, define scope of the project, and schedule events throughout the life cycle of the project.

The serialization project has to be viewed as a single program project in scope, not as a series of independent projects.

Project leaders must have access to the entire network, comprehend all areas of change, develop reusable elements that can be shared across other lines and plants, and prove the solution for all possible formats and use cases.

Get early input and buy-in from all stakeholders and prepare them for the long haul.  Pilot tests can take up to a full year!

Consulting resourses are growing scarce.  You must encourage your team to start now.
