During the MMIS implementation, when does training occur?

Training during the implementation of a Materials Management Information System (MMIS) typically occurs after the system has been configured and tested but before it goes live. This approach ensures that users are trained on the actual system they will be using in their day-to-day operations. The rationale is to provide users with hands-on experience and knowledge of the system's functionalities, workflows, and processes when they can see how it integrates with their tasks.

Conducting training after the system is set up but before its activation allows for a more effective learning experience, as users can practice on a fully implemented system rather than a hypothetical or incomplete version. This timing also helps in identifying any last-minute adjustments that may be required to enhance usability or address gaps in the training content based on the final system features.

Training prior to the go-live phase helps ensure that all users feel confident and competent in utilizing the new system, which can significantly impact the overall success of the implementation.
