A Method for Analyzing the Effect of Implementing an Enterprise System Based on the Complexity of Activities

Abstract

This paper presents a method for analyzing the effect of implementing an enterprise system (ES) in the construction industry during the ES introduction and planning stages. The effect is a reduction in employees’ work time. The proposed method is based on the 1) level of digitalized and automated activities, the 2) complexity of the activities, and the 3) complexity of the processes in the workflow. The method was applied at a construction company that has no enterprise resource planning (ERP), and the method’s accuracy was evaluated by information technology consultants who have performed planning, construction, and operation in relation to ERP. The result shows that the effect of management business was the largest; most of this effect was on data management and review. After users became familiar with ERP, the reduction in data input time increased. The analysis method takes less time and costs less than using surveys to measure the work time and satisfaction of ES users. It can also identify processes in which the effect increases or decreases, thereby guiding any modifications of the ES before it is introduced.

An Optimal Scheduling Path Algorithm for Enterprise Resource Allocation Based on Workflow

“…Lee et al [9] presented a method for analyzing the effect of implementing an enterprise system (ES) in the construction industry during the ES introduction and planning stages: the enterprise management workflow model is simplified with digital and automation techniques, laying the basis for efficient enterprise resource management. Femmam et al [10] mapped enterprise resource scheduling to the Petri net, creating the evolutionary Petri net (EPN); the EPN is an extension of the Petri net, enriched with two genetic operators: crossover and mutation; the optimal scheduling path was found by the EPN to minimize the cost of cloud resources in the enterprise.…”

“…Las herramientas ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning por sus siglas en inglés) están definidas como un cuerpo unificado para interconectar los procesos y actividades (C. Lee, Lee, & Lee, 2018). Estos sistemas tienen origen en las prácticas de fabricación y planificación de la producción cuyo objetivo es la integración de todos los departamentos y funciones de una empresa en un único sistema informático que puede servir a las necesidades particulares de los distintos servicios (S. Lee & Kim, 2016;Ozorhon & Cinar, 2015).…”
