“…ERP systems act as a decision support system and facilitate to make integrated decisions in functional areas of an organisation such as finance, operations, sales and distribution, human resource, marketing and so on [1,9,11,13] (see Figure 1). However, ERP systems should be implemented correctly by effectively managing knowledge during the implementation in order to satisfy business needs and improve decision making performance [1,2]. Hence, in the IKMC framework, ERP success measures have been used to achieve the enterprise wide decision making requirements of the organisation after the implementation.…”

Abstract. Knowledge Management (KM) has been identified as one of the key success factors for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation and has received considerable academic attention in the last decade, whilst continuously gaining interest from industry. KM for ERP implementation is, however, a challenging task because of the complexity of ERP packages used in various industrial contexts. If implemented successfully, ERP systems will improve management decision making by providing more accurate, timely and integrated enterprise wide information. This study proposes an integrative KM competence (IKMC) framework that can provide holistic consideration of different types of knowledge across its life cycle phases. The framework has been tested with companies in service industry which have implemented standard ERP packages. The key findings indicate how to advance KM competence by knowledge creation, transfer, retention and application. In addition, the study informs practitioners about the most important knowledge types (ERP package and business process knowledge) and how, why and with what to create, transfer, retain and re-use knowledge during an ERP implementation to achieve project success.

Abstract-Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation requires wide range of knowledge from various parties and transferring the right amount of knowledge between individuals during implementation is of paramount importance. Hence, ERP knowledge transfer has been recognized as one of the most essential antecedents for a successful ERP implementation. This study defines an ERP knowledge transfer (EKT) framework for ERP implementations based on empirical findings which also considers strategic decisions to be made during implementation for effective knowledge management (KM). It classifies specific knowledge elements under ERP package knowledge and business process knowledge separately which needs to be transferred between implementation consultants and business users. In addition, key findings inform industry practitioners on how, why and with-what various types of knowledge have to be transferred during ERP project with the effects of knowledge determinants.Index Terms-ERP knowledge transfer, enterprise resource planning, strategic decisions, knowledge management, ERP implementation. I. INTRODUCTIONAn Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a widely-known state-of-the-art information system which automates the business processes of an organization into a single integrated system [1], [2]. It helps users in various management levels of an organization to make sound decisions based on the integrated business information available through the system [3]. Therefore, it is able to increase organizational performance by lowering operational costs and maximizing revenue. Moreover, it enables businesses to improve customer services and supplier management. The implementation of such a complex system requires many resources like competent consultants, knowledgeable business users, sophisticated project management techniques, relevant change management strategies, etc [4]. Therefore, it is necessary to use sufficient levels of those resources through making correct strategic decisions by the company top management.The knowledge and capability of transferring relevant knowledge between individuals have been identified as vital sources of a company's sustainable competitive advantage [5]. Strategic alliances and globalization have made effective knowledge transfer central to an organization's success. ERP implementation requires wide range of knowledge from implementation consultants and business users. The knowledge of system functionalities and knowledge of existing business processes are among the important knowledge elements for a successful ERP implementation [6], [7]. The knowledge exists at many levels in firms, and it's transferred from individual level to groups, departments and divisions. At the start of a project, implementation consultants possess ERP package related knowledge and business users have knowledge related to company business processes [8]. Effective implementation requires business users to learn ERP package knowledge from consultants and consultants to absorb business process knowl...

“…Many researchers have studied the implementation of manufacturing planning and control information systems, which is essentially the development and implementation of a computerised information system that integrates all business functions of an organisation (Li and Li, 2000). For example, Duchessi et al (1989) argues that financial information and functions are essential components of the manufacturing planning and control information system and assists in the effective method for planning and controlling all company resources.…”

This research is based on the Anshan Project, a cool strip millwork computer integrated manufacturing system (LZ-CIMS). The study describes the design and completion of a LZ-CIMS financial management system that was developed using an Oracle database with client/server architecture and Developer/2000. During the development of the system, the study explores the use of both software engineering and database theory and Oracle RDBMS to discuss the integrating methods of financial information.
