Marico Limited
Autumns Intern

Artwork Management System (AMS) is designed to facilitate the launch of new artwork designs and any changes required to be made in the existing ones. It is an integral part in the supply chain of a business organization, especially for new product development (NPD). The process of artwork approval requires several stakeholders to evaluate the design, content, color etc. A robust and efficient AMS can prove to be a key business enabler, especially in the FMCG industry.
My project deals with revamping the existing AMS in Marico.
The following objectives broadly define the project scope:
a) Mapping the existing AMS process flow with the stakeholders
b) Understanding user pain areas & developing potential solutions for the same
c) Benchmarking Marico AMS with 3rd party AMS solutions
d) Identifying key missing features & integrating them in the revamped system
e) Liaise with IT team to complete feasibility analysis & develop implementation plan
