Abstract

This report investigates how the planning tool Enterprise, part of Maprova’s BACKOFFICE system, can be optimized and scaled to better support various types of manufacturing companies with differing levels of complexity. Based on a qualitative study of existing users and workflows, observations were conducted at the company BM, and a card sorting exercise was carried out with participants from five different manufacturing companies. The aim was to gain insights into the system’s information architecture and user needs across different business types. From the observations, a heuristic evaluation, and requirements from both current and potential customers, a design guideline was developed. Additionally, relevant ISO standards were incorporated to improve usability and ensure a more structured design process. The study identifies four functional areas that were broadly agreed upon by participants in the card sort. However, it also concludes that the limited number of participants and Maprova’s still-small customer base constrain how scalable the solution can currently be. Nevertheless, the resulting design principles and recommendations provide a solid foundation for the continued development of Enterprise, supporting Maprova’s goal of creating a more standardized and flexible system.
