Episode 172: From Chaos to Control: Steering ERP Projects Back on Track with Chintan Sutaria
Today we're diving into a topic that keeps many executives awake at night—ERP implementations. More specifically, why so many of them fail and, perhaps more importantly, how to fix them midstream before they derail your operations.
Joining me today is someone who knows this space inside and out—Chintan Sutaria. Chintan grew up working in an EMS business from a young age, gaining firsthand experience in the unique challenges of our industry. His career path took him into the world of business process consulting at some of the largest Big 5 firms, and he has since worked with numerous EMS companies on a wide range of projects.
Many of you may recognize Chintan as the founder and former CEO of CalcuQuote, a well-known supply chain management software solution for the EMS industry. Recently, he founded, OpenJar, a consultancy dedicated to helping electronics manufacturers navigate complex business challenges—including ERP implementations.
We’ll discuss his new company as well as his recent blog post, "Why Your ERP Implementation Failed (and How to Fix It Midstream)", explore common pitfalls, and uncover strategies to steer your ERP project back on course.
