A Study On Post Evaluation Of Enterprise Resource Planning Projects Based On Whole Life Circle

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) brings new information technology frame, but the risk of ERP implementation is very high. Lack of effective project evaluation system is one of the main reasons of high failure rate. The aim of this thesis is to improve the post evaluation theory of ERP projects, providing a measurable tool for ERP post evaluation.Whole life circle theory and ERP project was integrated in this thesis. The definition and the period of ERP whole life circle were demonstrated.ERP project post evaluation EAIU (Evaluate Analyze Improve Upgrade) cycling model and its expanding model were demonstrated. The model was composed of four parts: Evaluating, Analyzing, Improving, and Upgrading. The fours parts formed a system which continuously improved the management system and the information system of an enterprise.ERP project success degree evaluation system was put forward in the thesis. The system was made up of three constrains: ERP budget, ERP project time, and ERP project aim. The result of ERP project success degree evaluation could be obtained through Delphi weight establishment method and comprehensive multi-level fuzzy evaluation.Data Envelopment Analysis was used to analyze ERP post evaluation for the first time. Enterprise Resource Planning project post evaluation Data Envelopment Analysis Model was developed to judge whether the ERP project was DEA effective or not. This pointed out a new way for analyzing ERP project.Empirical studies of ERP project post evaluation was given based on the data collected from enterprise A and other seven enterprises.
