Abstract

This paper models and analyzes the factors of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system selection on the fast changing technology industry. With growing pressures for collaborative information systems partnerships, ERP system selection has been an important activity for improving supply chains efficiency in technology industries. However, ERP system selection is tedious and time consuming, and the criteria used for ERP evaluation are numerous and influence one another. In this paper, we explore the potential of applying the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approach. The DEMATEL not only can convert the relations between cause and effect of criteria into a visual structural model, but can also be used as a way to identify the key factors. A case study is used to illustrate the application of the proposed method.
