At JGI, we believe that our role as consultants is to provide guidance and assistance but not to do your work for you. We believe that successful ERP/MRP II requires that your people understand your systems thoroughly and take ownership of them. With our strong backgrounds in operations and extensive experience working with ERP/MRP II systems in a variety of industries, we can help in many ways – as teachers, technical advisors, facilitators, catalysts, evaluators and communicators – as members of your steering committee or project team or advisors to your project manager.  We consider it our job to prepare your people to operate their systems successfully.

Our Consulting Philosophy

  • Give honest appraisals - Sometimes the truth hurts, but you should not hire a consultant to tell you what you want to hear.
  • Present alternatives and give our opinions, but allow you to make the decisions - It is our role to share our knowledge and experience, but only you and your people can make final decisions about your operations.
  • Be as concerned about users as we are about installers - You are not just installing ERP/MRP II software. You are adopting an operating philosophy that will impact everyone in your organization. It is our role to help your people understand and believe in the concepts so they can use the systems effectively.
  • Mediate debates over logic and policy - There will be not always be complete agreement on the rules.  Responsibility and logic issues, in particular, are sure to generate debate. It is our role to help with unbiased, knowledge-based mediation.
  • Help management define its role in ERP/MRP II - Operating new systems with a new philosophy requires change at all organizational levels. We assist Top Management in clarifying its role in implementation, operation and direction of the new systems.
  • Educate your people well - When we leave, the organization should have adopted the ERP/MRP II philosophy and be proficient in its operation.

We will make sure that people throughout your supply chain are prepared for success with ERP/MRP II.
