Conceptual reference framework for successful enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation in global environment
Main Article Content
Abstract
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a core-required part in managing supply chain successfully. It has been considered a useful tool in connecting all the tiers through the entire supply chain by transferring the information, involving all the tiers into developing new products, proposing innovation and focusing on the demand of customers. This paper reviews previous frameworks in implementing ERP to identify core elements in deploying ERP. Base on the critical aspects a conceptual framework for implementing ERP in global environment is proposed. I conclude with a discussion of future research and application in this area.
