Some areas were not supported by the system at all and the user interface was also gradually becoming outdated. In addition, its manufacturer stopped investing in further development, so the company decided to replace it. Before that, however, Tawesco implemented a&nbsp;new APS system, which improved planning and, as a&nbsp;result, cleaned up the data still stored in MAX+.   <\/p><p>In parallel with the APS deployment project, a&nbsp;tender for a&nbsp;new ERP system and a&nbsp;management information system was launched. Within this tender, the ERP system QAD and the management system from Inekon Systems were selected. The aim of the whole project was to provide a&nbsp;full replacement for the original ERP system, to increase decision support and to optimize production and logistics processes. Subsequently, a&nbsp;PLM system from Dassualt Systems was then selected and implemented for product lifecycle management, which is used for the design and technological preparation of production and also for the management of custom production. The system integration of all products was carried out by Minerva.    <\/p><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>While Tawesco has deployed the APS planning system on its own, it has already invited Zden\u011bk \u0160pelina, a&nbsp;consultant from Applicon IT, to select the ERP system. The consultant created the tender documentation for the selection of the ERP, management system and PLM system, became an advisory member of the selection team and prepared the contract documentation after the tender process. He also negotiated price and functionality and assisted in the start of implementation work.  <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb53576 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eb53576\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applicon-it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tawesco-img.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-793\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.applicon-it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tawesco-img.webp 1011w, https:\/\/www.applicon-it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tawesco-img-300x130.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.applicon-it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/tawesco-img-768x332.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5dca336 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5dca336\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Solution: MAPIC methodology<\/h3><p>For ERP system deployment projects, AppliCon IT uses its proprietary MAPIC methodology, which generally focuses on three areas: ERP system implementation, process analysis, and process optimization of selected processes. The stages of cooperation with the customer on the project include project preparation (including defining the team, goals, schedule, process map, etc.), system selection (RFI, RFQ), contracting model (including implementation, licensing, maintenance, and purchase agreements), and actual implementation. <\/p><p><strong>The actual implementation project contains the following four blueprints:<\/strong><\/p><ol><li><strong>Analysis<\/strong> &#8211; Prepared by the supplier and material defended to management<\/li><li><strong>Implementation<\/strong> &#8211; A&nbsp;key user trained by the vendor presents to management the operation and setup of the integrated system and how it meets the company&#8217;s&nbsp;needs<\/li><li><strong>Preparing for productive operation<\/strong> &#8211; Stress test performed by the end user<\/li><li><strong>Optimization<\/strong> &#8211; The key user presents to management how he\/she has optimized the planned processes<\/li><\/ol><h3>Benefits<\/h3><p>The systems were successfully deployed and integrated, the ERP with APS system went into productive operation at the beginning of 2017, the PLM system was launched in September 2017 and the management system will be fully operational during 2018. One of AppliCon IT&#8217;s&nbsp;key contributions to the success of the project was the quality of the tender documentation, which truly encompassed all aspects. During the tender process, Zden\u011bk \u0160pelina interviewed suppliers, pointed out the weak points of individual systems and was also active in price negotiations. The required high level of contractual documentation was also maintained.   <\/p><p>Tawesco took away a&nbsp;number of valuable lessons from the complex systems deployment project in the areas of motivating staff to take responsibility, parallel projects, and process analysis and modelling, which will be used in future projects. Another task for the future is to optimize the functioning of the deployed information systems and to expand the deployed modules; for example, the plan is to roll out the workflow functionality, the quality module or the purchasing functionality. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64c5c08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"64c5c08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Customer comment<\/h3><p><em>&#8220;Our expectations from AppliCon IT have been met, we rate Mr. \u0160pelina&#8217;s&nbsp;contribution in the project of deployment of ERP, management and PLM systems very positively.
