We used Manufacturing Resource Partners to help us re-implement a failed Great Plains Manufacturing implementation here at Ontera, and I can honestly say that their contribution was pivotal to the success of this very difficult challange.

We have no hesitation in recommending MRP for their manufacturing expertise and at using that expertise in exploiting Microsoft Great Plains Manufacturing.

We needed help with our Great Plains manufacturing implementation. Our original Great Plains VAR was learning both manufacturing and the manufacturing software while on site with us and we were getting no where fast, ….and at great expense. 

We eventually found the right person at Microsoft Great Plains and he introduced us to Manufacturing Resource Partners, LLC. Based on their knowledge of the software package and years of practical experience in a manufacturing environment we contracted MRP, LLC to help us sort out our failed implementation. Their professional approach and skill turned the beast into a useful and practical tool which now aids us in our operation. 

My advice to anyone implementing Great Plains Manufacturing: Contact MRP LLC prior to the implementation of Great Plains Manufacturing and insist that your VAR partners with them. You will get the best return on your investment possible.

When Knelson made the decision to replace our legacy manufacturing system we wanted a partner we could trust during our search and replacement process. We turned to Manufacturing Resource Partners. They had been our manufacturing consulting partner for years with our legacy system, and we knew we could trust them when they proposed Microsoft Business Solutions – Great Plains Edition for Manufacturing as the right system for our future. Their combination of real world manufacturing experience and their extensive successful ERP implementation history gave our management team the confidence to go forward. The plan was set to go live in 120 days after our planning kickoff, and we went live on schedule and under budget on 2/1/2003. The consultants from Manufacturing Resource Partners were prime movers in keeping the project on track while using the budgeted consulting hours efficiently. The results have been increased visibility and accuracy of productions costs, increased throughput, and increased companywide productivity that comes from the entire company working in one business system.

When NavCom Technologies, a John Deere subsidiary, needed to find an experienced manufacturing partner to help us with our Microsoft Great Plains implementation we were directed to Manufacturing Resource Partners. We were having a difficult experience with our implementation prior to the arrival of Manufacturing Resource Partners on site, but their experienced consultants were able to show us how we could move forward quickly and effectively within a short period of time. Our consultant became an integral part of our team driving us forward with bribes, humorous cajoling, great training and documentation. Even when not on site our consultant monitored our dialogue with Tech Support and jumped in if he thought we were in danger of going in a direction inappropriate for our business. We are, thanks to Manufacturing Resource Partners, able to now exploit the productivity improvements that can be derived from an organization that is functioning with a single, integrated ERP system.
