Although Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) offers many benefits to the construction industry, construction companies still hesitate to adopt ERP systems. This may be due to long-term practiced ad-hoc behaviors in the construction industry, which do not match with the standard procedures embedded in ERP systems. Therefore, through this research, it is expected to evaluate the gap between construction procedures and ERP procedures technically. Hence, to obtain indicative data for the study, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to selected 210 individuals among contractors, subcontractors, and clients in the Sri-Lankan construction industry who have used ERP. In total, 174 completed questionnaires were returned and then statistically analyzed using Chi-Square test with the Mini tab tool. It is concluded that there is a significant gap between the construction procedures and ERP procedures in identified fields related to the construction industry. The highest significant gap exists in the field of Inventory management with Chi-Square 158.766 > 9.48. And HRM (142.366), Asset Management (130.264), Finance Management (126.267), Site Operation (103.793), Project management (53.88), Purchases (34.324), Petty cash (28.337), Estimating and Tendering (22.148), Sub-Contractor management (0.492) respectively. Ultimately with the identified gaps, a framework was established to meet the organizational processes and ERP processes.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate various functions and processes in organizations. ERP software is developed in the form of different modules, each of which helps to perform distinct functions within the company. The modules interface with the same database and are integrated so that workflows can be designed across different modules. The software helps standardize business processes and ensures organization-wide availability of transaction data. ERP software evolved from earlier manufacturing resource planning (MRP) systems, which included inventory management, procurement and production planning functions. The implementation of ERP software started in the early 1990s and during the late 1990s, the growth rate of the ERP market was between 30 to 40%. As of 2001, 30,000 companies around the world had implemented ERP and the total value of the ERP market was at $25 billion. There is not much literature relating to ERP implementation and adoption in companies in Asia and other parts of the developing world. These organizations face issues that are significantly different from those faced by organizations in the developed world, because of differences in the sophistication of IT use, and in the cultural and social contexts. In this article, we describe some experiences that companies in India have gone through in implementing ERP systems. We present a framework for analyzing the critical factors and issues that influence the ERP adoption process, and highlight the areas of opportunity and risk. The framework is sufficiently general so as to be extended to other developing countries.

The benefits that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems can offer organizations are the primary reason behind their popularity. However, employees` satisfaction is one of the factors that affect ERP system benefits, while employees` expectations of such systems affect their satisfaction. The study aimed to identify and investigate how employees’ expectations of the general benefits from ERP systems influence employees` satisfaction and actual benefits derived. The study was performed in a manufacturing organization, and data collection entailed a quantitative questionnaire, targeting an entire population of 80 employees (ERP users). The study obtained a 66% response rate, and quantitative data analysis techniques were used. The study found out that users with high expectations were more dissatisfied and not benefiting from the ERP system compared to those with low expectations. Users with more experience did not find the ERP system very challenging compared to the users who had less experience. The Chi-square test of independence implied that the general expectations that users had on ERP systems did not affect their satisfaction (7.965, p = 0.241). Besides, there was a relationship between general expected benefits from an ERP system and the actual benefits of using it (19.342, p < 0.013). Furthermore, a moderate and significant relationship between actual benefits derived and user satisfaction was found (.451**, p < 0.001). The study concludes that there is a relationship between employees’ expected benefits, employees` satisfaction, and actual benefits derived from ERP systems.

A Company

Development of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems has become an independent industry for the improvement of information systems. It can be stated that ERP systems are designed to support the operation of a company. The fundamental objective of the system is to create a business value that aims at reducing the time and costs of the business while increasing the profit of the company. Although the adaptation and deployment of the ERP system, in general, are complex and protracted processes that require a lot of resources, the obtained results sometimes differ from the expected results of users. Mostly for that reason, there are incomplete internal enterprise business processes and software requirements analysis and development. Therefore, there is a need to determine the compliance of the main enterprise requirements and business processes with the ERP system. To choose the most appropriate ERP system, it is necessary to identify all possible methods of input data for the fit-gap analysis method. Thus, the main aim of the present study is to identify possible input data for the fit-gap analysis method, which can be used for the selection of the most appropriate ERP system.

Successful implementation of ERP systems should take full advantage of the access to information, but not be constrained by many of the deficiencies associated with infinite capacity scheduling methodologies. In this paper an algorithm is developed which improves the performance of the ERP system. Lot sizing decisions based on capacity availability are used as an instrument to integrate more effectively capacity requirements planning (CRP) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP). MRP is a planning tool for a sub-set of manufacturing system specially in hierarchal multi-product, multi-period and multi-stage production planning and inventory control system. The Vehicle used for this integration is planned order release (POR) quantity. The algorithm requires minimal deviation from the MRP logic. In this sequential process MRP first issues the action notices and then the algorithm analyses the capacity situation in the work centers. The algorithm scans all planned order release quantities of lower level items in the action bucket before orders are released to the shop. For each item a delta value is computed identifying the degree orders are contributing to capacity problems. This delta is specific to each POR. The POR causing the highest overload and the one passing through the lowest utilized work centers are selected for a lot size decrease, respectively, an increase. After identifying the candidates, a series of checks analyses the suitability of the candidates for that change. The planned order release quantities of more items can be performed. Projected capacity profile after iteration will be updated and capacity requirements over a short duration are smoothed. The experiments are performed with MAP/3000 as a simulation model for this study. The developed algorithm is added to MAP/3000 as additional subroutines. The design of the experiments consists of a base test identifying the significance of different environmental parameters of MRP systems and a main test which performs a detailed evaluation. The results are evaluated using analysis of variance techniques. Most ERP systems built on the historical development of MRP and CRP systems, and the assumption of infinite capacity is affecting the performance of those systems badly. This paper is presenting an algorithm to smooth capacity problems by using the existed capacity.
