Number Of Firms

A great number of firms worldwide have invested a lot in the application of ERP systems to modify their business model and be able to offer better processes. When firms implement ERP systems they try to integrate and optimize their processes in what they consider their key areas. The present chapter tries to offer a view centered on the main reasons why Spanish firms have implemented ERP systems in the last ten years and what have been their main critical success factors and their main failure factors too. For that, the authors apply a model that they have previously developed based in 5 main groups of variables. The authors ask firms about their perceptions and final results provided by the variables affecting their change processes in the ERP implementation. The authors try to offer a realistic view of what has been taking place in the Spanish market.

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.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) are information systems that destined for firm manufacturing and also service that gets role to integrate and automates business process that is engaged operation aspect, production, and distribution at firm. ERP systems is a packaged business software system that enables a company to manage the efficient and effective use of resources and providing a total integrated solution for the organization's information-processing needs. But, ERP systems success own is not easily to be reached, because ERP software is not something that while is assembled/ implementation gets to walk success by itself. In this article tries to identify critical success factors (CSFs) ERP implementation. There are 14 CSFs and 10 failure factors that shall be regarded in the ERP Implementation. Keywords: ERP; ERP Implementation; critical success factors.

Definition Of

In the last two decades, ERP Systems became vital in the organizations. It is not enough to find out the appropriate ERP system for the company, to resolve the problems completely. The success of an ERP system is dependent on the performance of the ERP installation project. In this paper, at the beginning the definition of the ERP systems is given briefly and then the structure of a successful and effectively working ERP system is analyzed in the light of a case from the business world. At the end, the critical success factors of an ERP installation project are identified and examined with the help of three distinct ERP cases with different outcomes.

Although organizations can gain many benefits from successful implementation of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, there are high failure rates in ERP implementation projects. Therefore, a better understanding of ERP implementation success is a critical. One of the best known approaches used to define and measure ERP implementation success has been the critical success factors (CSF) approach. In this study, the authors investigate the current literature of critical success factors (CSFs) of ERP systems implementation and propose a new classification framework, categorized according to six proposed fundamental stakeholders. The authors then map those critical success factors to three different stages of an ERP project lifecycle. In addition, they identify several roles that each stakeholder may play during the ERP systems project lifecycle. The proposed classification framework provides organizations with a classification tool to help them identify the CSFs and those stakeholders who are most likely to have an impact on the implementation of the ERP system, which will help organizations to better plan for the implementation of their ERP systems.

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.

Successful Case

Problems with the implementation of ERP systems are well documented. Although companies spend millions on ERP packages and the implementation process, there is extensive evidence that they experience considerable problems, particularly during the actual implementation project. This paper presents a project phase model (PPM) of ERP implementation projects that is a synthesis of existing ERP implementation process models and focuses on the implementation project. Two case studies of ERP implementation within the same organization, one unsuccessful and a later successful one, are reported and analysed in order to determine which critical success factors (CSFs) are necessary within each phase of the PPM. The CSFs are drawn from an earlier stage of this research and from recent literature. The PPM is used as a ‘lens’ for understanding ERP implementation projects, by highlighting the differences between the two cases. We then offer an explanation for these differences, focusing particularly on the successful case. Firstly, the organizational learning that occurred during the unsuccessful project and the associated early appointment of an experienced ‘champion’ with clearly defined responsibilities were critical to the successful project. Secondly, organizations implementing ERP systems should partition large projects into several smaller, simpler projects identified here as ‘vanilla’ implementations. The PPM, together with associated CSFs, provides guidance for practitioners when planning ERP implementation projects and also provides researchers with a foundation for further empirical research.
