ABSTRACT

Project Team Tasks Objectives of Testing The Lean Performance Improvement tasks of the project are being completed. Designed modifications that will be included in the live system have been received and preliminary tests conducted. No other modifications should be performed until 90 days of live stable system operation have been realized. The system as it will be used live is now available for further testing. Although the lean commerce team has conducted some tests on customer-facing processes, the testing cycle should now be expanded to include the users at the manufacturing plants and at corporate headquarters. Plant and corporate teams will test the software during the prototype/ pilot, process, and stress tests. Successful completion of these tests will verify that the processes that perform the work are understood, that these processes have been improved and can be successfully accomplished with the new software, and that the manual workarounds that have been developed in lieu of modifications will work.
