In 2023 SMD selected IFS partner Platned to execute a major upgrade from IFS Apps 7.5 to IFS Supply Chain Management, a Supply Chain Management solution built on the IFS Cloud platform. The project was delivered on schedule in 12 months and within budget, with a seamless go live switchover for more than 250 users across two UK sites and continued use by SMD’s offshore division to manage global engineering and maintenance activities. The implementation retained an on premise instance to protect intellectual property and preserve critical integrations with advanced CAD engineering tools.
The new IFS Supply Chain Management deployment replicated core ERP capabilities previously in use, including Purchasing, Finance, Supply Chain, Parts, Engineering, Projects, Manufacturing, Servicing and time recording. Configuration work focused on preserving standard code and avoiding core customizations, while addressing stronger permissions and security controls in IFS Cloud. The implementation also embedded new AI enabled capabilities available in the evergreen IFS Cloud platform and planned exploration of the upcoming 24R2 AI enabled planning and scheduling engine.
Integrations were explicitly maintained with advanced CAD engineering toolchains to support engineering workflows, and the on premise infrastructure was kept to ensure IP security and performance. Platned provided the implementation services and has been retained under a managed service agreement to provide infrastructure monitoring, maintenance and a 24 7 help desk for end users. Delivery was largely remote with 95 percent of the project executed remotely and key milestones staffed on site including a one week period after go live to ensure continuity.
Governance and change activities included a focused super user program with 20 super users trained early, three user training sessions prior to go live and intensive functional scoping and testing involving internal subject matter experts. Those governance practices supported end to end testing cycles across business functions and enabled the project team to replicate a small set of legacy behaviors through configuration. Functional ownership and testing responsibilities were distributed across Purchasing, Finance, Engineering, Projects, Manufacturing and Servicing to ensure operational readiness.
Outcomes reported by SMD included smooth adoption and a quiet go live due to thorough testing and the super user training model, and the establishment of Platned managed services to monitor system performance and escalate complex support issues. SMD has scoped follow on work to digitize stores and introduce automated part picking integration with IFS Supply Chain Management, and to evaluate new AI enabled scheduling capabilities in forthcoming IFS releases.
