Developing Knowledge Based Decision Support Tool for Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) Software Selection

Kurumsal kaynak planlaması (ERP) gibi kapsamlı bir yazılım sistemini satın almak, yoğun bir fınansal etkiye sahip olan ve buna ek olarak sayısal ve sayısal olmayan bilgiye dayalı bir projedir. Bu tip durumlarda, analitik araçları kullanmak büyük bir yarar sağlar. Bununla birlikte, temel olarak farklı olan bilgileri bir modelde bir araya getirmek büyük bir zorluk meydana getirir. Bu makale, sayısal ve sayısal olmayan faktörler ve birden fazla amacı göz önüne almak arzu edilen bir durum olduğunda en iyi ERP paketini seçebilecek bir metod öneriyor. Bu metod, üç bölümden oluşmaktadır: (1) Bilgi toplanması ve ölçümlemesi, (2) toplam kullanıcı tercihlerinin hesaplanması, ve (3) birden fazla amaçlı optimizasyon. İlk iki bölüm, sonradan birden fazla amaçlı optımizasyon modeline girdi olacak sayısal olmayan bilgileri sayısal parametrelere dönüştürüyor. Metod, A.B.D'deki bir elektronik parça üreticisinin ERP seçim sürecine uygulanıyor ve sonuçlar sunuluyor.

Kamusal Kaynak Planlaması Yazılımı Seçiminde Bilgiye Dayalı Karar Destek Aracı Geliştirilmesi

Purchasing a large software system like Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) is a project with significant financial impact and involves making a decision based on both qualitative and quantitative information. In these types of situations, analytical tools are invaluable; however, combining fundamentally different data into a single model is quite a challenge. This paper proposes a methodology to select the best ERP product when it is desirable to consider multiple objectives with both qualitative and quantitative factors. The methodology involves three elements: (1) data acquisition and assessment, (2) calculation of total user preferences, and (2) multiobjective optimization. The first two elements translate qualitative information into quantitative parameters that are then input to the final element, multiobjective optimization. The methodology is applied to an electronic component manufacturer's ERP selection process and the results are presented.
