Abstract

Regarding existing pressures for effectiveness and performance improvement, there is a steep rise for the establishment of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Unfortunately, failure rate for successful ERP establishment is high. Thereupon, evaluation of organizations’ preparedness to ensure organizational capabilities aimed at reaching desired outcomes is of paramount importance. The current research is intended to suggest Step-wise Weight Assessment Ractio Analysis (SWARA) method and assess the preparedness of our case study, i.e. the University of Mazandaran, for successful ERP implementation. Related factors impacting on the accomplishment of the ERP system were identified from former studies and weighted according to a hierarchical structure using our suggested methodology. After receiving numerical results, the preparedness of the University of Mazandaran for successful ERP implementation was calculated when the final weights were determined. Results showed that motivations required for ERP establishment as well as processes and IT infrastructures are average, while the influencing cultural factors, protective factors, and capabilities of the organization are weak.

基于SWARA方法的高校和高等教育中心成功建立企业资源规划的准备评估

对于现有的有效性和绩效改进的压力，企业资源规划(ERP)的建立急剧上升。不幸的是，成功建立ERP的失败率很高。因此，评估组织的准备，以确保组织的能力，以达到预期的结果是至关重要的。目前的研究旨在建议逐步权重评估比例分析(SWARA)方法，并评估我们的案例研究(即马赞达兰大学)为成功实施ERP所做的准备。从以往的研究中确定影响ERP系统完成的相关因素，并使用我们建议的方法根据层次结构进行加权。在得到数值结果后，当最终权重确定时，计算马赞达兰大学成功实施ERP的准备情况。结果表明，企业建立ERP所需的动机、流程和IT基础设施的动机处于中等水平，而企业文化因素、保护因素和能力的影响较弱。
