Case Study: Post Consumer Brands completes JD Edwards upgrade in 48 hours with FlowWright

Successful Upgrade in 48 Hours

Post Consumer Brands faced a significant challenge while upgrading its core JD Edwards ERP system. The complexity of the upgrade, which involved tight integration with multiple critical applications and a strict 50-hour downtime window, required a more robust project management tool than Microsoft Project and Excel to handle intricate dependencies and avoid costly manufacturing delays.

FlowWright provided the solution by enabling the project team to both plan and execute tasks from a single tool. Its graphical interface clarified task relationships and automatically recalculated the critical path during execution. As a result, Post Consumer Brands completed the highly complex, 750-step upgrade successfully in just 48 hours, allowing its plants and distribution centers to start up ahead of schedule and avoid significant losses.
