dc.description.abstract |
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are getting increasingly popular in Sri Lanka and
throughout the world due to the inherent benefits, they provide to corporate organizations in
dealing with global challenges and market rivalry.
The purpose of this study was to make recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the
ERP systems utilized in Sri Lankan construction contractor organizations. To fulfill the
research aim, six objectives were established.
A complete literature survey and review was conducted by referring to journal articles,
publications, and e-Journals to examine past research on ERP systems. An E Questionnaire
was used to collect data. Quantitative data gathered using a convenient sampling approach
were statistically analyzed. Engineers, project managers, architects, quantity surveyors, and
accountants were the intended audience. Respondents were chosen from contractor
organizations that had used ERP systems in the past. Using the Microsoft Excel program, data
were analyzed and characteristics were prioritized in terms of criticality using the Relative
Importance Index (RII).
Manual data collection, manual report creation, and access limits to important modules might
all be highlighted as significant constraints to ERP use in construction contractor organizations
in Sri Lanka.
To reap the full benefits of an ERP system, the system should be chosen after a thorough
evaluation and analysis of the products on the market, including the cost of the product, license
and maintenance fees, and the flexibility in changes/modifications and troubleshooting.
Furthermore, ERP vendors should have a thorough awareness of the processes and procedures
involved in Sri Lankan construction projects. Furthermore, all transactions linked to
construction processes/activities must be completed using the ERP system rather than manual
data gathering, and the ERP system must make it easy to acquire all relevant reports.
Furthermore, consulting services need to be established to aid in the selection and deployment
of ERP systems in Sri Lankan construction organizations. |
