The following are the
implementation approaches for ERP
- Big Bang Approach
In this approach, ERP is
implemented at one-go at all the offices of the organisation.
- Pilot Rollout
In the Pilot rollout approach, one
subsidiary business unit (SBU) is selected as the pilot and ERP is first
implemented in that unit. Then it is rolled out to other business units in a
phased out manner.
- Functional Rollout
In the functional rollout
approach, one function like finance or materials management is selected for
implementation. Then one by one ERP is implemented for each of the functions in
the organisation.
- Cross-Develop Global Prototype
In the cross-develop global
prototype, a prototype is first developed and tested. Once successful, the
implementation is done for the entire organisation
