“…Reference [31] state that ERP implementations focus has switched from an internal to an external perspective; focus is now on external stakeholders and the issue of connecting customers and suppliers [31]. Other researchers are in agreement with the need for integrating external information systems with internal ERP systems to make information accessible to partners e.g.…”

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems are standardized software packages intended to support the majority or all of an organization's processes. Customization of an ERP system is usually required to achieve fit between system and business processes of an organization. Customization options ranges from setting parameters in the system to developing new functionality by modifying source code. Models describing customization options are a decade old. Since then, the trend is for ERP systems to become more flexible. The feasibility of customization is facilitated and new options for customization are made available. Through in depth interviews, this research identifies a need for revising existing models. Presents necessary changes and proposes new customization options that should be included in a new model. There is also a need for customization models for different types of ERP systems. This paper therefore also contributes with describing how customization of cloud ERP relates to existing models.

“…Furthermore, ERP systems can also bring uniformity to the complete business enterprise by bringing all the business processes/tasks under one umbrella. Also, the system supports to integrate all activities through utility software encompassing special modules and consequently facilitates firms to perform and control their business procedures (Huang & Palvia, 2001;Kähkönen & Smolander, 2013). Moreover, the implementation of ERP systems in any company may reduce time consumption and the cost of different work procedures, consequently increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization (Subramoniam et al, 2009;Tarigan et al, 2020).…”

It has been more than two decades of experience adopting and implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in business. However, the success of these systems remains debatable. The failure rate of ERP systems is relatively high, despite the fact that success stories of ERPs are recorded in earlier research studies. The main purpose of this study is to identify and assess the degree of ERP implementation failure factors encountered by organisations and confirm which is significant in various countries. A systematic literature review was performed, considering research studies published between 2000 to 2022 for this purpose. This study critically reviewed 55 relevant articles published in reputable journals. The systematic literature review identified 35 failure factors categorised as the most critical based on their occurrence in past studies. The top five failure factors included lack of top management support, Inadequate education and training, the mismatch between the system and business strategies, lack of project management performers, and users unwilling to use the ERP system. According to the country-wise evaluation, "Lack of top management support" is a critical failure factor of the ERP implementation for all clusters. However, the more frequent impact for Asian countries, with a moderate impact for European countries and less for North American countries. Also, "Inadequate education and training" is a major Critical failure factor for Asian and North American countries during ERP implementation projects.This is the first comprehensive systematic review attempted to identify the Critical failure factor during the implementation of ERP systems.

“…Although the effects of information sharing on overall company or SC performance were investigated by several authors [19] and despite the fact that integration is generally considered beneficial to enterprises [20], there remains a lack of research measuring the exact impact of MES-ERP integration on the performance of internal processes. In the present work, we will assess the effects of integration and information sharing in the SC and compare them with previous research findings in this domain.…”

Integration of MES and ERP in supply chains: effect assessment in the case of the automotive industry

2017

Original scientific paper This study assesses the effects of manufacturing execution systems (MES) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integration in the case of a medium-sized enterprise in the automotive supply chain. An embedded interface was developed to provide bidirectional exchange of messages between the two corresponding databases. Data exchange between the two separate systems is facilitated by an intermediate document (IDoc) message. The effects of MES-ERP integration were assessed based on the value reference model (VRM), which ensures measurable indicators in multiple dimensions. Velocity, costs and assets for two processes were evaluated before and after integration. Positive changes in the selected key performance indicators were measured and confirmed. MES-ERP integration ensures controlled change management in the supply chain (SC) and enables decision-making to be carried out in real time. Based on the findings of the presented scenario, one can reasonably assume that MES-ERP integration positively affects the selected key performance indicators of a SC.Keywords: enterprise resource planning; integration; manufacturing execution system; supply chain management; value reference model Integracija MES i ERP sustava u opskrbnim lancima: procjena učinka na primjeru automobilske industrije Izvorni znanstveni članak U ovom radu procjenjujemo učinke integracije proizvodnih izvršnih sustava (MES) i cjelovitih poslovnih informacionih sustava (ERP) na primjeru srednje velikog poduzeća u automobilskom opskrbnom lancu. Ugrađeno sučelje razvijeno je za uspostavu dvosmjerne razmjene poruka između dvije baze podataka. Razmjena podataka između dva odvojena sustava realizirana je putem posebnog dokumenta -IDoc poruke. Učinci integracije MES i ERP procijenjeni su na temelju referentnog vrijednosnog modela (VRM), koji osigurava mjerljive pokazatelje u više dimenzija. Brzina, troškovi i imovina dva procesa procijenjeni su prije i poslije integracije sustava. Pozitivne promjene odabranih ključnih pokazatelja uspješnosti izmjerene su i potvrđene. Integracija MES i ERP osigurava kontrolirano upravljanje promjenama u opskrbnom lancu (SC) i omogućuje donošenje odluka u stvarnom vremenu. Na primjeru nalaza predstavljenog scenarija, utemeljeno možemo pretpostaviti, da integracija sustava MES i ERP pozitivno utječe na odabrane ključne pokazatelje uspješnosti u opskrbnom lancu.
