Multi‐criteria decision‐making approach for modular enterprise resource planning sorting problems

Abstract

Implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is currently recognised as best practice with wide associated possibilities of business improvement for companies. Integrating these kinds of systems with business processes in the most efficient way requires to endeavour as much as possible simplifications for final users, which can be pursued by optimising crucial software characteristics. The present paper proposes a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to deal with such an issue. Specifically, the ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) TRI technique is suggested to assign ERP modules into predefined and ordered categories according to maintainability and usability, which are useful drivers in evaluating which module of an ERP software should be enhanced with priority. The results prove to have whole beneficial impact on system performance with relation to a case study: improvement evaluations will be identified based on the classes the ERP modules are assigned to by the method.

“…As the ERP solution selection is a risky decision and has a high impact on both the success and failure of the organization's implementation, the study has multiple rankings of the selection criteria techniques to obtain direction and weightage for the selection basis and support decision makers as noticed by Yurtyapan and Aydemir [19] using a fuzzy technique, Lacurezeanu et al [20] using the AHP selection technique for an integrated and sustainable ERP-solution-based SME, and Carpitella et al [21], who applied a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) technique to obtain an assorted list of suitable ERP solutions. Table 1 shows the different ERP selection approaches used by different authors and the purpose of each used selection method.…”

“…The criteria with decreasing performance preferences are multiplied by "−1" to align them with the other criteria's increasing performance preferences, thus unifying the calculation [84].
