In the MMIS implementation process, what follows the training phase?

In the implementation process of a Materials Management Information System (MMIS), the phase that follows training is the pilot program. After training users on the system and ensuring they understand how to use its functionalities, a pilot program is typically initiated to test the system in a controlled environment. This allows for the identification of issues and provides an opportunity for users to become more familiar with the system and workflows before the full-scale go-live implementation.

The pilot program is crucial for gathering feedback, validating processes, and addressing potential challenges in a real-world setting, though on a smaller scale. This step helps to ensure that the system functions smoothly and that users have confidence in utilizing it effectively when the system is fully launched.

Following the pilot program, organizations may then move towards the go-live implementation, where the system is fully operational, and all users transition to using the new system. This logical sequence emphasizes the importance of preparation and testing before full deployment.
