Vacation, two SAP role outs, and the Next Project

I know it's been a long while since I have posted.  I have spent many weeks in Nashville and a few in Iowa.  I didn't even think to take pictures in Iowa... There was not much to take pictures of there.... just lots and lots of corn fields.  I did however find an interesting section of Cedar Rapids which was settled by people from Czech and Slovakia.  I had a very nice Czech meal there at a place called The Blue Toad.

Recently, my family went on vacation at Sanibel Island near Ft. Meyers Florida.  My parents rented a house on the beach and we all had a good time.  Skylar, my four year old son was very excited to be riding an airplane again.  It was my other son Kadens first time flying.

SAP Go Live 2 happened back in July.  It consisted of 2 plants in Mexico and 1 plant in Lincoln Nebraska.  The three plants had very few issues and in no time at all was back up to their old production and customer service levels.

Go Live 3 will happen this week.  There have been more last minute data changes related to warehouse management than what I am used to.  This could impact my loading of inventory balances.  However, I expect things to go okay.  This go live consists of three plants.  I am based at my home in Lexington this week but supporting all three locations.

My next project will likely be for an affiliate based out of Fresno, California. I'm thinking about taking my family with me for a month in the Spring or Summer.  It would be a great base from which to do mini weekend vacations to San Francisco, the beach, and giant redwoods, skiing, etc.

This is a commercial from Drury but it pretty much describes the Pangea Project lifestyle. This is our hotel of choice in Nashville.

Going Live...

Almost 5 years of work is coming to fruition.  Our first 2 North American plants are going on the new ERP system.  One in Indiana and one in Mexico.  There are a few bumps but generally everything is going well.  No pictures nor anything exciting to share at this time.
