During the recent decades, the significant role played by information has turned information management inorganizations into a challenging subject. To improve this, various organizational solutions were proposed,one of the most prominent of which was enterprise resource planning (ERP).Utilizing enterprise resource planning systems in Iranian organizations is a necessity. Since enterpriseresource planning systems are an importing technology, organizations should choose the most suitableoption, from among various organizational solutions during a decision making process. Designing thisprocess requires identification of effective factors and criteria in decision making. These are the factors andcriteria which, when considered in decision making, cause the organization to act properly while respondingto its needs and problems.Although there is a great need for paving the way to this decision making, little studies have been done inthis regard in our country which has created a gap between Iranian organizations and enterprise resourceplanning systems. This article is prepared to fill this gap, to reduce decision making risks, and to encourageorganizations to pass this doubtful path. To do this, two distinct questionnaires have been used to identify theeffective factors and criteria in decision making for utilizing enterprise resource planning systems. The majorexperts and counselors in this field, who are developing this system, had their opinions used. The effectivefactors and criteria were then classified into technical and organizational perspectives.After specifying the priorities of the elements, creating harmony among the systems in order to elevate theinformative trend of the organization in organizational view, matching and cooperating the software packageof ERP with the organization processes were all identified as the most important elements of which themethods of applying the elements to decide the application of ERP is explained through presenting appliedsuggestion in this research Manuscript profile

Lean production and enterprise resource planning systems are often quoted as being the two most important strategies for achieving competitive advantage in today’s globalmanufacturing environments. Though IT has traditionally been viewed as a contributor to waste within lean production, we suggest that modern developments in IT and the onset of hybrid ‘‘push-pull’’ production control mechanisms have allowed ERP and lean approaches to converge towards a state where ERP systems can in fact be used to support the deployment of lean practices. This paper analyses typical lean and ERP implementation processes contained within the scientific literature, and by further examining a concurrent implementation process in real-time, we develop and propose a process for ERP-based leanimplementations. Our findings suggest that the implementation of a contemporary ERP system can act as a catalyst for the application of lean production practices. Manuscript profile

ERP projects are one of the information technology projects that encounter with high failure rates. Thus, it is required for the risk assessment of the enterprise resource planning implementation to be performed before the project starts. In addition to assessing the risk of ERP establishment, the purpose of the present study is to compare the risk ratings in both pre-establishment and establishment phases. Moreover, the heuristic AHP method considered during the establishment phase combined with FMEA provides more accurate results. Thus, the ERP implementation risks were first identified in this study and classified according to four categories of balanced score card (BSC). The results of the analysis show that the financial risk had the highest risk in the pre- establishment phase and the risk related to the process was first in the establishment phase......ERP projects are one of the information technology projects that encounter with high failure rates. Thus, it is required for the risk assessment of the enterprise resource planning implementation to be performed before the project starts Manuscript profile

This article seeks to establish a logical connection between the basic concepts and create a framework for better understanding of ERP and its implementation. Also, the paper tries to be understandable and gives a better description of the Enterprise Resource Planning system with a non-technical method in ERP software packets by showing of a page of operation in maintenance unit. Since most of the managers know and deal with 4P business model and its components and they can communicate with it easily, the primary structure of the ERP system is derived from this model. ERP system is divided into four main components: 1. Software, 2. Customer points of view, 3. Change management, and 4. Internal processes of the system. The methodology is another component which is involved in abovementioned four components for providing integration/unity and implementation in the organized method. Maintenance planning is used for continuity of production with manpower to help to keep the equipment in normal conditions. As equipment is considered as the main sources of the organization, their maintenance would be important and this could be done easily by using this software system. Consequently, we can develop the better understanding of ERP complexity in system and processes which contribute to performance by creating conceptual model and features of different elements.  Manuscript profile

Regarding the fact that companies implement different information systems in their organizations, there is an increasing need to integrate this information. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is both a database and an application which integrates the business activities of a company to ensure integrated business processes. So far, only a few empirical studies have been conducted in order to determine the key factors in implementing ERP. The present study examines the factors influencing the successful implementation of ERP experimentally and its results are presented. Using a standard questionnaire distributed among 12 companies that implement ERP in Iran, the experiences of managers, staffs, and professionals in implementing, ERP and its pros and cons were collected; the data were analyzed through the SPSS software using t-tests and Friedman ANOVA. Based on the literature, 10 potential factors in implementing ERP have determined: system selection criteria, consultant selection criteria, supplier selection criteria, principles of project management, re-engineering process, human resources development, Chief Executive Officer  (CEO) support, cost and budget, IT structure, and consulting services. The results of the study show that all ten mentioned factors have a significant relationship with successful ERP implementation. Among these factors, CEO support is the most significant factor in implementing successful ERP, while the cost was identified as the least important factor. Furthermore, the variables of CEO support, re-engineering process, and project management has caused the greatest customer satisfaction in ERP implementation.   Manuscript profile

Need to create within organizational and inter-organizational integration in the supply chain environment and extensive changes in the field of technology and information systems have been the main factors in the formation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. One of the factors for the success of the implementation of these systems and also the main purpose of this study is to correctly identify the risks in the three phases before, during and after the implementation of ERP systems in the study industry, then evaluate the risks obtained and it is appropriate to respond them. Literature reviewed and 52 factors were identified as failure factors of ERP projects. Then, with purposive sampling methodology were interviewed by six experts in the field of ERP systems, which adjusted the risk indicators and achieved 40 risk indicators. A questionnaire was used to collect data to analyze the risk values and data were analyzed by SPSS and Excel software. This paper examines a practical approach to using the risk matrix to assess the risks of ERP implementation in the upstream steel industry. This approach supports key project stakeholders such as the employer, contractor and consultant to meet their obligations and minimize the negative effects on ERP project performance in terms of cost, time and quality objectives . Finally, the risks were divided into three levels: Critical (unacceptable), High (significant) and Medium, and the strategy for dealing with them was described in three categories: Risk avoidance, Active acceptance and Transfer.
