An ISM Analysis of the Critical Success Factors in ERP Implementation
Open accessAbstract
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) offers many benefits in aligning business operations. However, these implementations can be problematic and prone to failure. Critical success factors (CSF) which can improve the success rates of implementation have been researched and an interpretive structural modelling (ISM) was conducted to identify the interrelationships between factors. An ISM based model was created and this was achieved by completing the self-interaction matrix (SSIM), reachability matrix and level partitioning. This led to an ISM-based model being created followed by a cross-impact matrix multiplication (MICMAC) analysis to identify the factor’s relative driving power and level of dependence. The project revealed that top management support was the strongest CSF with a high driving power and low dependence. In addition, fourteen other factors displayed strong driving power with high dependence. The findings from the project were summarized into a recommended framework for manufacturing organizations to follow to increase the likelihood of a successful ERP implementation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
