    This thesis tries to propose a list of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in the form of CSFs framework for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation at Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs).The research describe in this thesis tries to test them by going through the experience of ERP system implementation in SME called Hazelwood Sound & Vision Ltd (HSV). In a first instance, the author compared implementation models and suggested most appropriate model for HSV. Furthermore, literature search for critical success factors of ERP implementation has taken place. This led to a general CSFs framework for ERP system implementation. At later stage, CSFs were classified into the phases of selected implementation model. This resulted in integrated framework which later used for ERP system implementation called Smart Office in HSV. Through this experience of implementing Smart Office in HSV, the author determined factors which were critical for the success of the ERP implementation in HSV and compared them with CSFs found in literature. The study also examines, through the critical success factors, the impacts and issues in implementation related to these factors. Findings include: an increased emphasis upon the determination of clear goals and objectives at the project outset, and, importantly, vendor support added value in terms of specialist software knowledge and enhanced project team capability. Results show that most of the success factors, found in the literature apply to HSV, although change management, and communication among departments, don‟t seems to be regarded as top CSFs for HSV. Implementation is an expensive investment, and difficult to implement, due to its complexity. It is hoped that knowledge and understanding of these factors will assist SMEs in successfully implementing ERP and enable them to further improve their systems in order to maximize returns. Furthermore, by identifying relevant CSFs for SMEs, managers can better prioritize implementation efforts and resources to maximize success of ERP implementations. One of the outcomes of this research is implementation of Smart Office which fulfils the business needs of the HSV

    Many practitioners and IS researchers have stated that the overwhelming majority of Enter-prise Resource Planning (ERP) systems implementations exceed their training budget and their time allocations. In consequence many Romanian SMEs that implement an ERP system are looking to new approaches of knowledge transfer and performance support that are better aligned with business goals, deliver measurable results and are cost effective. Thus, we have begun to analyze the training methods used in ERP implementation in order to provide a so-lution that could help us maximize the efficiency of an ERP training program. We proposed a framework of an ERPTraining module that can be integrated with a Romanian ERP system and which provides a training management that is more personalized, effective and less ex-pensive.ERP Systems, Training Methods, Blended Learning

    A managers view of critical success factors necessary for the successful implementation of ERP

    Organisations look to enterprise resource planning (ERP) as a significant strategic tool of competition. ERP plays an important role in today's enterprise management and is beginning to be the backbone of organisations. Although ERP has been recognised as a useful tool, in practice, there are many difficulties in compelling people to implement it effectively. In this case, how to help ERP's future effective implementation has already attracted the attention of several researchers. The goal of this research was to increase the knowledge base regarding Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software implementation in the public sector. To this end, factors regarding benefits sought through ERP system implementation and critical factors surrounding successful ERP implementation were identified. In addition, the perception of project team members' satisfaction with modules implemented and their concerns about implementing ERP software were identified in this study. The results of this study provided recommendations for public sector organisations in order to increase their opportunity for successful ERP system implementation. However, there is no reason why this information cannot be considered to be useful to private sector organisations when considering ERP implementation projects. The literature review and results of this study suggested that the benefits sought during ERP system implementation included increased standardisation, better reporting, and reduced operational costs were recognised as goals of ERP software implementation, with the overarching goal to improve efficiency. Factors that were important to successful ERP system implementations were top management support, knowledgeable and experienced project managers and knowledgeable and committed team members. The study included recommendations for organisations to fully research ERP functionality prior to implementation, to implement strong change management, use other means of measuring return on investment, ensure employee buy-in and top management involvement and to avoid scope creep at all cost. In addition, a key element is to undertake some form of benchmarking exercise of existing systems prior to commencement as a measure of success of implementation of all or various elements of ERP

    The Modeling of the ERP Systems within Parallel Calculus

    No full text
    As we know from a few years, the basic characteristics of ERP systems are: modular-design, central common database, integration of the modules, data transfer between modules done automatically, complex systems and flexible configuration. Because this, is obviously a parallel approach to design and implement them within parallel algorithms, parallel calculus and distributed databases. This paper aims to support these assertions and provide a model, in summary, what could be an ERP system based on parallel computing and algorithms.ERP Systems, Modeling, Parallel Calculus, Incremental Model

    Abstract The Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) is an integrated information system for competitive enterprises in the era of globalization, especially for managing their activities effectively. These systems are enormously complex systems that require tremendous investment on especially consulting, training, hardware, and software within corporate time and resources. Moreover, their implementation processes often entail significant challenges, difficulties, and risks. In this paper, it is aimed to introduce the most important issues and challenges of implementing an ERP system, in both large enterprises and SMEs in Turkey. Exploratory research was conducted by using a small-scale survey among 31 ERP experts of 31 Turkish companies from different industries. The findings show that user resistance is the most compelling factor influencing ERP implementation success in Turkish companies. Additionally, lack of well- planned project duration and implementation steps, as well as inadaptability with ERP product are the other notable factors affecting native ERP implementation success.

    This paper tries to connect the successful implementation and operation of the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) information systems with people and their characteristics through a pilot survey. It examines the human factors that influence ERP user satisfaction. The presented survey tests 14 hypotheses and is based on the model developed by Zviran, Pliskin & Levin [21]. An additional factor has been added to the specified model, the self-efficacy factor analyzed by Bandura [1]. The results are based on 250 ERP users that responded to the survey. The key findings that were revealed by data analysis were that none of the human socio-demographic characteristics do influence ERP user satisfaction. Additionally it was found that perceived usefulness and self-efficacy are the key directors of the ERP user satisfaction. Moreover suggestions are given about how the companies should handle ERP usage in order to develop the prerequisites for increasing user satisfaction and productivity accordingly.ERP Audit, User Satisfaction, Perceived Usefulness

    Abstract: When there are more than one party involved in construction project, their needs and constraints become more and more complicated in a project management. If client is from large organization like public client or a corporate client, then their needs are diversified. In that case constraints in a project may results in the achievement of high-performance by using ERP. The aim and objectives of this research is to identify correct solution for the different Constraints. So, we can able to improve the performance of the work by applying ERP on Constraints. It will help to provide practical steps for creating organizational decisions under tough situations at where there are constraints. As we aware from the constraints, we will definitely improve the performance of the work. Presently client requires to well Familiar with the ERP System before starting of the project, but now we need to understand constraints which is Six-STAR Constraints and which includes constraints regarding Budget Management, Clients Management, Time Management, Cost Management, Resource Management and Sales Management.
