Enterprise resource planning: a business approach to systems development

System Sciences, 1999. …, 1999

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) has been witnessed. This evolution reflects both the increasing maturity of information technology and also the business outlook of firms seeking to use IT for competitive advantage. In this paper we argue that system development is now entering a new phase of maturity with the advent of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software packages.

Strategic Approaches to ERP Implementation

Journal of International Technology and Information Management, 2008

Strategic reasoning behind ERP triggers a specific path to ERP implementation. In this article we present a simple typology of ERP implementation approaches based on literature review and an empirical research for both manufacturing and services. We distinguish between bottom-up and top-down approaches and between process-oriented and technology-oriented approaches and we discuss the differences between the four resulting types of implementation approaches. INTRODUCTION During the 1980's and 1990's, many organizations were growing through mergers and acquisitions resulting in ever higher levels of systems incompatibility (involving different legacy-type mainframe systems). At the multinational level such issues only multiplied several-fold (Ives & Jarvenpaa, 1993). The challenges of increasing competition and expanding markets, the search for business solutions in the face of the changes resulting from mergers, acquisitions, take-over and restructuring processes, and rising ...

Challenges of Implementing an ERP System in Industry

IRJET, 2022

A Survey is finished in trade and its observations are noted. This methodology is adopted to grasp the challenges within the organizations, because of that these ERP systems couldn't be enforced with efficiency. A total production cycle was discovered to review ERP implementation methods and challenges occurring in ERP implementation at every part of the production. we've got known and mentioned 9 major factors that stand as barriers for effective implementation of ERP system that are as follows poor authority effectiveness, poor quality of BPR, ERP coding system person, poor IT infrastructure, poor information flow, lower group action support, poor testing practices, unclear expectations from higher management, users disposition to adapt to altered circumstances. In today's high competition within the market, variety within the organizations, perpetually varied markets, and speedily dynamic technology characterize the market during which Enterprise Resource designing (ERP) system (enterprise software package systems, having a wide-range style of structure functionalities) vendors act.. This is the study of production organizations in that ERP systems are allotted within the traditions of Science and Technology and survey observations showing a number of the challenges and barriers that these ERP based organizations face. Overcoming those challenges is very important for the organizations' survival and so, needs careful management of the merchandise and also the product life-cycle severally. ERP information analysis is ready to quickly entice, identify, validate and provide relevant information points throughout the complete sales and sales chain. This analysis can facilitate to beat these barriers by knowing what are issues that require to be resolved from the data that we have collected from organization team members and managers.

Business Process Modelling as a Critical Success Factor in Implementing an ERP System

South East European Journal of Economics and Business, 2009

Business Process Modelling as a Critical Success Factor in Implementing an ERP SystemMany enterprises are adopting enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems for improving their efficiency and productivity. Although there are tremendous benefits to implementing an ERP system, there are just as many risks. The problem is that many projects of this type are unsuccessful, mostly due to their complexity being underestimated. The purpose of the paper is twofold: (1) to analyse the critical success factors (CFSs) of ERP implementation projects and (2) to propose a framework based on a composite approach to ERP systems implementation. A special emphasis is given to business process modelling, because the key to the successful choice, implementation and usage of an ERP system is the fit of planned processes in an organisation with processes implemented in the solution. The paper also presents some results of empirical investigation in the field of ERP implementation.

Planning for ERP systems: analysis and future trend

Business process management journal, 2001

The successful implementation of various enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems has provoked considerable interest over the last few years. Management has recently been enticed to look toward these new information technologies and philosophies of manufacturing for the key to survival or competitive edges. Although there is no shortage of glowing reports on the success of ERP installations, many companies have tossed millions of dollars in this direction with little to show for it. Since many of the ERP failures today can be attributed to inadequate planning prior to installation, we choose to analyze several critical planning issues including needs assessment and choosing a right ERP system, matching business process with the ERP system, understanding the organizational requirements, and economic and strategic justification. In addition, this study also identifies new windows of opportunity as well as challenges facing companies today as enterprise systems continue to evolve and expand.

Using ERP Systems to Transform Business Processes: A Case Study at a Precession Engineering Company

International Journal of Engineering Business Management, 2009

Enterprises nowadays strive to keep transforming their business processes in accordance with the fast-changing customer demands so as to survive the intense global competition. In an attempt to provide practitioners with an insight into ERP implementation and the resulting business performances, this paper investigate how a successful ERP implementation can help transform enterprises processes. Case based research which is based on an in-depth observation under managerial and practitioner situation. A case study at a precession engineering company is conducted to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed strategic enterprise information model. This paper focuses on the implementation of Sales & Marketing and Warehouse modules of an ERP system. The key performance indicators are used to evaluate how the ERP implementation can improve the business processes. It is found that ERP helps to improve data visibility and improve on-time delivery but less effective on improving employee produ...

on the ERP System Effectiveness

2016

An ERP implementation takes many years to complete and requires a large amount of IT investment and their effectiveness is hard to evaluate. Companies implement ERP systems to integrate the business processes of a company, and help organizations obtain a competitive advantage. In each ERP implementation stage, Business Process Reengineering (BPR) plays different important roles. This study examined the process problems (system process / business process), BPR and performance of ERP systems by using the questionnaire survey and AVOVA analysis. We also examined the relationship between degree of BPR and ERP system performance using regression analysis.
