Critical Success

The current low success level of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation stimulates the rise of research to find the critical success factor of it. One of the challenges of ERP implementation is to find a ‘fit’ between business and system requirements. It is claimed that standardizing business processes to follow the ERP system will positively impact organizations to follow the best practice process. However, there is another challenge that organization should not reengineer their business process to fit the ERP system, but rather modify or customize the ERP system to match their business process. This belief argues that standardizing business processes is not the right solution that applies to every organization since it can degrade an organization’s competitive advantages. Based on the background, the research aimed to construct a comprehensive review to succeed in implementing an ERP system, particularly on ERP modification, using a systematic literature review method. It was done by collecting and analyzing scientific publications related to ERP critical success factors with special attention to system modification. The literature review results in a comprehensive explanation of ERP modification. It includes elaborating on different types of misfit and customization to cultivate the understanding of ERP modification, a flowchart to analyze misfit to help the organization to evaluate modification requests, and critical success factors of modified ERP implementation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an alternative integrated approach based on the stage-gate method to implement enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems which will enhance the effectiveness of ERP projects. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted on ERP system implementation and its effectiveness. The need for improving implementation approaches and methodologies was examined. Based on the insights gained, a conceptual framework for ERP system implementation is presented by combining the state-gate approach with the pre-implementation roadmap. Findings The proposed framework aims to enhance the overall ERP implementation outcomes, ensuring critical success factors and eliminating common causes of failures. A pre-implementation roadmap is identified as a key element for eliminating many causes of failure including lack of organisations’ readiness for ERP. The post-implementation stage can be used for further improvements to the system through internal research and development. Research limitations/implications The development of the framework is an attempt to contribute to improving ERP implementation. This research is expected to motivate researchers to work in this area, and it will be beneficial to practicing managers in the identification of opportunities for improvements in ERP systems. Case studies will be valuable to refine and validate the proposed model. Originality/value This paper explores research in a needy area and offers a framework to help researchers and practitioners in improving ERP implementation. This framework is expected to reduce the implementation project duration, strengthen critical success factors and minimise common problems of ERP implementation projects.

Critical Success

Abstract The world boundaries are broken with the advancement of technology and the emergence of digitized industries where economies are connected via the cloud. As a result, effective management of information internally and externally is needed to cope with the quick changes in markets. For a long time, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been used to streamline company processes data, and hierarchy. ERP’s are capable of managing big data, integrating business processes and providing effective communication channels within the entire organization. ERP’s provide many benefits to businesses if implemented right. However, an alarming 70% of ERP implementations fail. The failure can very well bankrupt the organization and at the same time affect the vendors very negatively. The aim of this paper is to discuss the critical success factors in ERP implementations from the employees, management, consultants and vendors perspectives. Prior research has identified critical success factors for ERP implementations but none classified them according to the above perspectives (employees, management, consultants and vendors). Surveys were conducted with 60 ERP project participants including senior managers, employees and vendors. A regression analysis was made to investigate the relation between the success of ERP implementations (dependent variable) and the contributions of employees, management, consultants and vendors (independent variables). The study shows that there exists a positive relation between successful ERP implementation and the following: management support, employees’ motivation, training, management, vision, and professional consultants. Add to that, the study aids managers and ERP participants to identify the major success factors that must be implemented for the objective of having successful ERP deployment.

Technical Considerations

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are pervasive information systems that have been fundamental in organisations for the past two decades. ERP systems may well count as the most important development in technology in the 1990s. There are many ERP success stories; equally there are as many failure stories. However, organisations encounter obstacles when implementing ERP systems. This chapter intends to explore some of the problems that occur throughout the implementation of an ERP system.Through the exploration of the literature a framework is constructed considering human, organisational and technical considerations adjoined with critical success factors when implementing ERP. Drawing on empirical evidences from a UK SME, this study then discusses and analyses each problem identified in the framework and its affect on the implementation of their ERP system. The findings of this chapter suggests the fundamental challenge of ERP implementation is not technology but organisational and human problems, which, if not fully understood and addressed, can lead to ERP failure. Finally, this chapter considers the critical success factors that resulted in the failure of the ERP at the case company in the chartering phase of the implementation.It is hoped this chapter will assist in understanding that human, organisational and technical considerations adjoined with critical success factors will encourage practitioners to address these problems and increase their chance of success during ERP implementation.

Increasing number of small medium enterprises (SMEs) is using enterprise resourceplanning (ERP) as they start to recognize the benefits provided to the organisations. Thebenefits include tangible and intangible benefits. They can be identified in the operational,managerial, strategic, organizational, as well as in IT infrastructure dimension. Tosuccessfully implement ERP, organizations should recognize the barriers in attainingexpected benefits, especially people-related issues which are more dominant than thetechnical-related. A combination of IT factors and business factors motivate SMEs to adoptERP. However, several factors characterized in SMEs should be considered in analyzingtheir need for ERP. SMEs must prepare themselves in both technical aspects and humanaspects. It is also very important for SMEs to recognize critical success factors (CSFs) thatcontribute to a successful ERP implementation. CSFs can be used to measure the success atdifferent points in the ERP life cycle.Keywords: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), small and medium enterprises (SMEs),critical success factors (CSFs), ERP benefits, and ERP adoption

The Impact

The Impact of Managers on Successful ERP ImplementationLately, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has been implemented in public organizations and organizations without competition in the marketplace. It is the ERP system that is almost as badly needed for the competitiveness and success of those organizations in the marketplace. The main reason lies in the fact that operating costs have to be reduced and the optimization of business processes is an option which nowadays is normally implemented together with new ERP. The success rate of ERP implementation remains very low with up to a 90% failure rate, as it is quoted in a lot of researches. Critical success factors (CSF) which influence successful ERP implementation are identical in all organizations. The main goal of this research is to find out the managers' impact on the critical success factors and thus their impact on the successful ERP implementation. Top management support is the most important critical success factor for successful ERP implementation, regardless of the fact whether the organization is on the market or not.

Analysis Methodology

Many articles have been written on enterprise resource planning success in the last two decades in both the public and private sector. An important number of empirical studies attempt to delineate the steps of ERP project integration and their specificities. These research works can be divided into two principal phases: the implementation and the post-implementation. The complex nature of the ERP system and its implementation stages lead us to investigate about the critical success factors mentioned in both phases of integration. Recently, several studies have tried to assess the success of ERP system and highlight the CSFs based on some theoretical models. This study uses a meta-analysis methodology to highlight the principal factors leading to ERP success, and it evaluates the weight of CSFs in the process of implementing the ERP project. Based on the best studies published in the last years about ERP success, we conduct this research to determine the most important factors highly correlated with the ERP success. Eleven CSFs are identified in our meta-analysis and classified according to their significant importance based on the correlation coefficients finding in 32 articles focus only on the ERP system. Some criteria were selected to choose studies such as: Sample size, the availability of correlation coefficient finding (quantitative empirical data), the availability of reliable constructs (Cronbachs alpha), and the measurement scale of each factor.

An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is an integrated set of programs that provides support for core organizational activities, such as manufacturing and logistics, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, and human resources. An ERP system helps the different parts of an organization share data and knowledge, reduce costs, and improve management of business processes. In spite of their benefits, many ERP systems fail (Stratman & Roth, 1999). Implementing an ERP system is a major undertaking. About 90% of ERP implementations are late or over budget (Martin, 1998), and the success rate of ERP systems implementation is only about 33% (Zhang et al., 2003).
