“…Following Jacobson's (1957) seminal work on the concept of readiness, the concept have been developed further including in manufacturing (e.g. Ahmadi et al, 2015a;Kwahk & Lee, 2008;Lim & Antony, 2013).…”

“…Retrospectively, readiness represents the extent to which an implementation has run smoothly and relatively problem free (Ahmadi et al, 2015a). It is a state of preparedness for something about to happen.…”

“…Innovation initiatives in the context of manufacturing operations and processes, which is of interest in this paper, include for example Statistical Process Control (SPC) (Lim & Antony, 2013) and Six Sigma (Parast, 2011), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation (Ahmadi, Yeh, Martin, & Papageorgiou, 2015a) and RFID integration into shop floor operations (Chuang & Shaw, 2008). Companies are handicapped by low levels of 'innovation readiness' (Dutta et al, 2009).…”

Manufacturing companies need to continuously innovate in order to remain competitive. Fostering a successful innovative environment should reflect positively on manufacturing performance, with a premise that companies seek to attain appropriate level of readiness when deploying their innovation. This paper presents an approach to assessing innovation deployment readiness in manufacturing. Deployment is conceptualised as a sequential decision process that involves a deployment plan to be executed sequentially in an uncertain environment. The deployment plan is assessed using simulation to account for risks and uncertainties that may characterise the deployment activities in the target environment and the capabilities put forward in the plan for handling the risks and uncertainties. The approach is illustrated using a simulated manufacturing job shop scenario and the results show that deployment readiness can vary over time. Deployment readiness can be improved by identifying the states in which readiness is weak and taking appropriate actions.

“…The method helps an organization make an assessment on its ERP implementation readiness by evaluating the degree to which it could reach the interrelated readiness relevant activities based on fuzzy cognitive maps. Ahmadi et al (2015b) performed an empirical investigation to find out how to measure the readiness of a firm for ERP implementation. They estimated readiness based on fuzzy cognitive maps to include all the complex causal relationships among various factors.…”

In this survey, we perform a survey on different studies associated with critical success factors in project management. The study covers all related studies from 1987 to 2017 based on the articles published on different value added journals. The survey shows that tremendous efforts have been dedicated on important factors, which influence on the success or failure of enterprise resource planning. The other part of the survey is dedicated for the implementation of Six Sigma projects. Our survey shows that successful implementation of Six Sigma could contribute to the success of projects.2017 Growing Science Ltd.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is an integrated system, which consists of various integrated applications. ERP is implemented to collect, store, manage and interpret data from different business activities, including product planning, expenses, production and/or service delivery, sales management, inventory planning, shipping and payment. The study covers the latest studies mostly on detecting factors influencing on the success of ERP implementations. The study has highlighted several factors including top management support, communication, cooperation, training and technological complexity, which were believed to be the most influential factors on development of ERP systems. In addition, several multi criteria decision making systems were used for ranking different software packages for ERP implementation. Moreover, many studies have attempted to consider mathematical methods by considering uncertainty associated with data.Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 5
