NAVSEA ERP PMO

Using APRI, NAVSEA ERP implementation goals were compared to the statistical confidence that NAVSEA legacy system objectively performed within a certain range. The results significantly impacted NAVSEA and staff.

Catalyst Technologies has applied its Average Performance Range and Index (APRI) analysis to inform NAVSEA executive staff as to the consequences of implementing the NAVSEA Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) initiative without having the necessary ERP Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) already implemented. The approach allowed SES'ers and Flag Level Officers to fully understand the current legacy performance as compared to the improvement goals of the current ERP initiative, with statistical accuracy and objectivity. The results of this analysis have caused NAVSEA to ensure that the ECP's are completed before any NAVY ERP in rolled-out at NAVSEA's targeted sites. If not completed before NAVSEA ERP roll-out, the analysis objectively showed a dramatic degradation in performance from the existing legacy system, causing significant cost, schedule and quality issues.

SALT Conference ...

 

SALT Conference

Bruce Nagy, the company founder, successfully presented 5 years of research on:
Validating Knowledge
at the Applied Learning Conference in Kissimmee, Florida.

Abstract Used for Conference:
There are many methodologies and technologies that focus on collecting knowledge. Yet, is it only knowledge that an organization is really collecting? How much bias that this knowledge contains and is it knowledge that is needed? What is the quantitative value of this knowledge to your customer, business and workforce? How efficiently and effectively can this knowledge be communicated? These are the key questions that are answered based on a series of demonstrations performed within the government and private sector. Validation of knowledge is recognizing needs within the four tier environments in which tasks and activities are accomplished.
