What the Kit Checks

Four Places Where Aras Adoption Is Won or Lost.

Users rarely give up on Aras over one big failure. They route around it one wait, one extra screen and one re-typed field at a time. The kit looks in the four places those add up.

  • 01

    Performance

    How long users wait

    • Slow item open
    • BOM expand lag
    • Remote-site delay
    • Excel as a search tool
  • 02

    Usability

    How hard a task is

    • Too many clicks
    • Every field on every form
    • Search misses
    • No on-screen help
  • 03

    Process efficiency

    How work moves

    • Unclear next action
    • Re-keyed data
    • Side trackers
    • Workflow ≠ real work
  • 04

    User experience

    Whether Aras fits each role

    • One screen for every role
    • Feedback goes nowhere
    • Fixes take months
    • Logins as the metric

The Self-Check

Twenty Statements. One Honest Picture.

Answer for the people who work in Aras every day, not for the project team. Yes if it is true today, Partly if it depends on the role or the site, No if it is not. Your answers stay in this browser unless you choose to send them.

Performance

How long users wait

Opening an item, expanding a BOM and saving a change feel instant to everyday users.
Users at remote sites get the same response times as users at head office.
Custom methods are reviewed for server calls inside loops before they reach production.
Searches and reports on your largest item types are fast enough that nobody exports to Excel to get around them.
You measure response times on key actions routinely, not only when someone complains.

The Adoption Scorecard

Baseline Five Numbers Before Anything Changes.

Logins tell you people opened Aras, not whether it helped them. Pick your highest-volume journey and count these five on real tasks. They become the before in your before and after.

  1. Clicks per task

    Lower

    Count the clicks from opening the task to finishing it, for three different users.

  2. Screens per decision

    Lower

    Count the items and tabs a reviewer opens to reach one decision.

  3. Re-keyed data

    Lower

    List every field typed in more than one place, inside or outside Aras.

  4. Time to decision

    Faster

    Time it from the task arriving to the decision being made.

  5. Work outside PLM

    Lower

    Count the steps done in Excel, email or meetings instead of Aras.

Baseline first. No promised percentages, only measured change.

How to Run It

Start With One High-Volume Journey.

The kit follows the same five steps as our guided assessment, so your team can run it without us. Pick the journey people repeat most often. Improvement comes journey by journey, not through a big-bang redesign.

Five steps

First visible improvement within weeks

  1. Identify

    Rank journeys by how often they run and how much they hurt.

  2. Observe

    Watch three people do the real task. Do not demo it to them.

  3. Baseline

    Count clicks, screens and manual effort on the scorecard.

  4. Separate

    Quick wins first: configuration and layout. Code, integration and process after.

  5. Roadmap

    Prioritise, fix one journey, measure it, then pick the next.

Each result picks the next journey

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Not to use it. The self-check runs in your browser and shows your result straight away. To download the kit as a PDF, we ask for your name, work email and company, and email you a copy.

Whoever is closest to daily use: a platform owner, a key user or a process lead. Answer for the users, not the project team. If the answer differs by site or role, choose Partly.

No. It reflects your own answers only. The comparison that matters is your own before and after, which is what the scorecard is for.

They stay in your browser until you send the form. If you do, they are stored with your details so our team can follow up, under our Privacy Policy. Clear my answers removes them from this browser.

No. The statements are about what users experience, not a version. Some fixes depend on your release, and the guided assessment looks at that with you.
