“…A successful implementation of an ERP system depends on how an organization manages the availability of relevant activities to achieve an adequate level of preparation for the ERP implementation (Ahmadi et al, 2015). Plaza (2016) handles the implementation of ERP system projects as complex projects of information technology (IT), with thousands of implementations worldwide, and these projects feature length between 6 to 24 months. Only one in six projects are delivered on time and within budget, and success are considered just 30% of the implementations (Plaza, 2016).…”

This article aims to discuss the importance of the focus on quality attributes in an ERP system implementation project in a Brazilian brewing industry. The quality, as part of the "iron triangle" for conducting projects, can be monitored and associated with the project performance from the indicators associated to the quality attributes. The case study covered an Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) system implementation on 6 business units of a brewing manufacturer distributed in different regions of Brazil, followed for eighteen months and it involved interviews with stakeholders, analysis of routines and documents, and people observation. The success of the project could be attributed to the performance indicators by meeting the design assumptions and the perception of the teams and project managers.

“…While there is not much work on the cost-based evaluation of ERP systems, the following interesting studies have been found in the literature. A study was conducted to calculate the weekly cash outflows, cost of consulting to shorten the duration of the project and to monitor the performance of ERP implementation [28]. A cost optimization under budget constraints is done by Ahmadi et al [29] in order to improve the preparations of ERP system implementation The parts of this study are structured as follows: In the second part, the criteria and the hierarchy of ERP software revaluation process are explained.…”

Since enterprise resource planning process is important for growing and developed private companies due to productivity, in the business world it has found effectively its place. ERP softwares have gained much importance in recent years according to doing the jobs productivity needs. In this study, a solution method is proposed for a private organization that desires to re-evaluate the distributed ERP softwares of it owns. For this, most used multi-criteria decision-making method named analytic hieararchy process is utilized for determination of criteria weights. In addition a risk involving process called TODIM (an MCDM method), which is based on prospect theory, was chosen for risky and dynamic conditions in the study. Since the Nobel prize-winning prospect theory, including risk avoidance and taking situations in decision-making behaviors, has been integrated in TODIM's decision-making process. This process involves ambiguities as well as risk. Furthermore, the company's data privacy policy has been incorporated into the solution procedure with the fuzzy logic, which takes into account these drawbacks. Besides, it has been ensured that the cost criterion is integrated in a detailed manner. In the real world application, a selection is made between the renovation of the existing system alternative consisting of the scattered and different softwares -especially stressed on built-in software that only a majority uses-; this software's cloud alternative and a completely different rival software alternatives. The result of this study, which examines ERP software selection under uncertainties by adding risk and cost measures, has been influential on enterprise's preferences about this project.

“…Particularly, different types of human resources like ERP software company's consultants and process experts in the customer firm are considered as the renewable project resources. Because, professional human resources and knowledge/expertise of the consultants are the primary sources of an ERP software company and play a critical role in successful ERP project implementation (Motwani et al, 2002;Tadinen, 2005;Plaza, 2016;Subulan, 2020). Moreover, experienced process experts in the customer firm are as vital as the success of ERP consultants.…”

Constraint Programming-Based Transformation Approach for a Multi-Objective & Multi-Mode Resource Investment Project Scheduling Problem Under Mixed Fuzzy-Stochastic Uncertainties

In fuzzy mathematical programming literature, most of the transformation approaches were mainly focused on integer linear programs (ILPs) with fuzzy parameters/variables. However, these ILP-based solution approaches may be inadequate for solving large-scaled combinatorial fuzzy optimization problems, like project scheduling under fuzzy-stochastic environments. Moreover, many project scheduling applications may contain different types of uncertainties such as fuzziness, stochasticity, dynamism etc. simultaneously in real-life settings. Based on these motivations, this paper presents a novel constraint programming (CP) based transformation approach for solving a multi-objective and multi-mode fuzzy-stochastic resource investment project scheduling problem (FS-MRIPSP) which is a well-known NP-complete problem. In fact, the proposed solution approach mainly depends on a bound & decomposition principle which divides fuzzy components of the problem into crisp middle, lower and upper level problems. Thus, it reduces the problem dimension and does not need to use any standard fuzzy arithmetic and ranking operations directly. Furthermore, stochastic nature of the problem is also taken into account by using a multi-scenario based stochastic programming technique. Finally, a weighted additive fuzzy goal program (WAFGP) is embedded into the proposed CP-based transformation approach in order to produce compromise fuzzy project schedules which trade-off between the expected values of project makespan and total resource usage costs. To show validity and practicality of the proposed approach, a real-life application is also presented for a production-and-operations management (POM) module implementation process of an international Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. The generated fuzzy project schedules under different scenarios by the proposed CP-based approach are also compared to the results of a similar ILP-based transformation approach. Computational results have shown that the proposed CP-based approach outperforms than the ILP-based approach in terms of both solution quality and computational time.
