Main Cause Hinder Implementation of Enterprise Resourcing Planning Erp
1. Outline
1. Exploring hypothesis:
High cost is the main cause hinder implementation of Enterprise Resourcing Planning ERP software.
2. Research aims:
• To examine whether the cost is a major problem can hinder implementing the ERP software.
• To investigate whether ERP software implementation is influenced by other factors.
• To design a questionnaire to collect information from many consultancy companies.
• To collect information from other studies conducted in the same field.
• To analyse information provided from the primary and secondary research and determine whether it proves or disproves the hypothesis.
3. Research objective:
• To deliver useful information to consultancy companies about the main reasons why the software implementation fails.
2. Introduction
1. Background:
Thirty years ago, companies started to develop software to automate their business functions. Enterprise Resourcing planning (ERP) evolved from Material Requirement Planning (MRP) systems which were created to support inventory functions. MRP system later expanded to support manufacturing tasks, then merged with accounting systems to become ERP software (Jutras, 2011).
2. Definition:
Enterprise Resourcing planning ERP is software package to integrate internal and external company’s business functions such as accounting, supply chain and human resources (Wong, Scarbrough, Chau, Davison, 2005). (Typical functionality is summarised in Figure 3.1).

The implementation of ERP consists of all tasks needed to achieve the ERP, start from getting the software and hardware until working properly on that software. ERP implementation goes through
