Group ERP & WMS rollout · 2025 – 2026
Bringing Canary on board — without breaking Westland
A group business rolled onto ERP and WMS, with a critical production risk caught before go-live.
Business context
Canary (YOBD), part of the Yili Oceania group, went through an ERP and WMS rollout that touched systems Westland depends on every day.
Challenge
Deliver the rollout without disrupting Westland’s live operations, and make sure the interfaces still worked properly once Canary was running.
My role

What I did
- Set up the project team space and shared the solution blueprint.

- Recommended full regression testing to my manager, then led the team in writing regression test scripts and running the testing.
- After the rollout, found operating-unit design issues affecting the CRM and S&OP interfaces, and proposed fixes for both.
- Named by my manager to help lead the process and system analysis for moving butter production to Canary.
