In spite of the great variety of potential advantages, it is also necessary to illuminate the real effects of Standard Software in practice. Recent studies have revealed that 81% of companies interviewed using SAP, do not fully exploit the software’s ability to optimise business processes, though 61% stated that SAP offers very good process optimisation opportunities.[CS01] Therefore this paper evaluates popular life cycle models with respect to their suitability to implement Standard Software in a process driven way.

In spite of the great variety of potential advantages, it is also necessary to illuminate the real effects of Standard ERP Software in practice. Recent studies have revealed that 81% of German companies interviewed using SAP, do not fully exploit the software’s ability to optimize business processes, though 61% stated that SAP offers very good process optimization opportunities. (CSC Ploenzke AG, 2002, “European SAP Practice, Umfrageergebnisse,” SAPphire 2000). Therefore we evaluated popular life cycle models with respect to their suitability to implement Standard Software in a process driven way (Kuehl, R.W.A., and Knoell, H.-D., 2002, “Evaluation of Topical Approaches to the Implementation of Standardised ERP-Systems,” Proc. ETCE 2002, CD, ASME Petroleum Division, Houston, TX).

In this chapter we present the factors for the success of ERP implementation projects. In the first section, we present the outcome of three surveys on the process and success factors for ERP projects. The first survey was undertaken in 2003 in Germany, the second in 2004 in the United States, and the third in 2006 in Turkey. The results are discussed in light of Hofstede’s model of cultural factors. In the second section we evaluate common ERP lifecycle models. In spite of the great variety of potential advantages, it is also necessary to illuminate the real effects of standard ERP software in practice. Recent studies have revealed that 81% of German companies interviewed using SAP do not fully exploit the software’s ability to optimize business processes, though 61% stated that SAP offers very good process optimization opportunities (Ploenzke, 2000). Therefore we evaluated popular lifecycle models with respect to their suitability to implement standard software in a process-driven way (Kuehl & Knoell, 2002). In the third section we present a semi-process-oriented approach lifecycle model for the implementation and release changeover of ERP systems. This lifecycle model was developed from the authors’ experience in practice, and its practical relevance was evaluated in real-world projects. This approach is also assessed in light of the criteria presented in the second section.

Oriented System

The improved approach is considered as a life-cycle model that combines the necessities of process improvement projects and the implementation of modern integrated Standard Software systems. To improve the company’s business processes by means of the Standard Software implementation, each phase of the entire implementation life cycle puts its focus on optimising the customer’s underlying business processes. In addition, to intensify the benefits resulting from the process-oriented system implementation, the presented approach is extended by a certain guidance to organise a process-driven project team.

Business Requirements

The 90’s witnessed an impressive growth of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the market of corporate IT solutions. For instance, O´Leary (2000) reports that a single ERP system (SAP´s R/3) is used by more than 60% of the multinational firms. Among the explanations for this phenomenon are the competitive pressures suffered by the companies that have forced them to seek alternatives for cost reduction, differentiation of products and services and integration of their business processes. The ERP systems evolved exploiting the need for quick deployment of integrated systems to meet these new business requirements, while companies were (and still are) under pressure to outsource all the activities that are not embraced by their core business.

The quality issues of new services directly affect the competitiveness of service organizations. However, the introduction of new services to the market is often limited only to the construction of the logistics of business processes, and the design applies only to technological equipment and infrastructure, the quality of which ultimately does not always ensure the quality of the services provided. At the same time, quality management affects mainly operational aspects, that is, it covers the later stages of the service life cycle. In resource-intensive service industries (for example, transport, communications, etc.), the high cost of equipment and infrastructure reduces the possibility of changes in service delivery technologies to improve their quality, which leads to inefficiency and market failures due to the fact that the new service does not match the real needs of customers. Despite this, forecasting and planning the quality of a service at the stage «making a decision» to launch a new service on the market remains largely without sufficient attention. The authors prove the need to design the quality of services at the stage «making a decision» to bring new services to the market. The purpose of the article is to describe the approach developed by the authors to assessing the quality of projected services at the early stages of their life cycle, which makes it possible to integrate qualitative and quantitative indicators of the future service and take into account the forecast requests of customers. The proposed approach has two features: (1) forecasting customer requirements for the quality of services is based on the results of machine learning based on data on existing and potential customers, as well as on the basis of the accumulated knowledge base of customer experience and expert opinions; (2) multi-criteria optimization is used, while some of the optimized parameters are discrete and high-quality. In conclusion, the authors demonstrated the advantages of the developed model on the examples of transport and logistics business in the field of passenger and freight transportation in Russia.
