ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) adoption and its extensive application by great and medium-size firm and organizations are described as ERP revolution. Numerous firms have substituted their old information SYSTEMS with newer ones, i.e. ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEMS as an integrated response to extensive information needs of firms. ERP is a unique data base system that integrates and consolidates raw data, turns them into information and finally delivers its output to information system users. Such system makes firm users able to coordinate and develop firm plans and programs in spite of geographical limits. ERP enhance automation and cooperation among firm segments like sale, marketing, production, operation, and administration. Certainly a better understanding of critical success factors will enable practitioners and academics to improve the chance of success in the implementation ERP projects. Considering this motivation, this study tries to examine the critical success factors for implementing ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEMS using the framework of classical management theory.

Internal control plays an important role in achieving firm goals and making management decisions. This study is aimed to provide an applied model for identifying factors affecting internal controls of firms with ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING system. Given the special nature of firms with these SYSTEMS and their more complex transactions as well as the lack of RESOURCEs in the field of internal controls that meet the firm requirements, researches in this area is necessary. This study divides the internal control process into six-phases including organizational structure, professional ethics, security, risk, reports and the Organizational strategies. The survey is conducted through experts, and 52 research components from 350 components, are fitted using smart PLS. Results show that, this model not only increases the effectiveness and efficiency of internal control of firms, but also it has the advantages of paving the way for implementation of IT audit, updating the internal control system through identification of weaknesses and making improvements, reducing risks in organizations with ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING system and increasing the organizational surveillance.

ERP is being frequently implemented in many organizations recently. So, there is a significant question still need to be answered: “How can we use potential data and intelligence ERP SYSTEMS in the effective quality control SYSTEMS?” This paper aims at exploring the capabilities of ERP SYSTEMS and extracting features of these SYSTEMS to increase the effectiveness of quality control in ENTERPRISEs. The researchers in this paper have intended to use information technology as an activator of quality control. This study has been conducted based on a survey research method and data collection has obtained by questionnaires. According to fundamental studies, all indicators were identified for an ERP system. Testing hypothesis, some indicators for the design of an effective quality control module was identified such as the tracking information, reducing quality costs, reducing bureaucracy, accurate record of customer orders, integrating operations, and etc. On this basis, a model is presented in three parts which is recommended all these factors should be used in design quality control and quality management modules.

By rapidly developing of premier technologies in communications and computer, the global economy growth scheme is essentially changed and followed by the knowledge as an important capital, is replaced by physical and fiscal assets (Chen et al, 2004). Implementation of human RESOURCEs PLANNING SYSTEMS is amongst of under developing technologies in new era. Most of the managers are in doubt that these SYSTEMS can be useful for organization and make value added (Charamilus Asiatis et al, 2005). This paper considers the effects of obtained results of ERP implementation on knowledge creation and job performance. The features used in this research are in order to collecting of questionnaire information’ s that include three questionnaires of ERP benefits, knowledge creation and job performance. The validity of questionnaires is confirmed by correspondents and its reliability is also confirmed by using alpha cronbach. Results show that ERP benefits and it’ s all dimensions including operational benefits, management benefits and business process and IT/strategic PLANNING benefits have significant effect on knowledge creation. ERP benefits and Knowledge creation has also positive and significant effects on job performance.

Introduction: Hospitals require a central monitoring and improve PLANNING process in order to enhance patient care quality. Regarding the current developments in health care SYSTEMS, the question is which information system can support transformation of hospitals. This review article focuses on the capacity of ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEMS for the transformation of hospitals.Methods: First, the development of information SYSTEMS, the history and concept of ERP was described. Then the effectiveness and potentials of ERP and the challenges of its application in hospitals were discussed.Conclusion: We suggest that hospital processes should be divided into two parts; definitive and tentative processes. ERP SYSTEMS are beneficial in definitive processes.

The past two decades have experienced an unprecedented rise in ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) SYSTEMS implementation among asset-intensive organizations. Typical asset-intensive industries such as oil and gas, energy, and mining, rely heavily on the performance of their asset investments to stay competitive. Recently, several ERP vendors have developed solutions with diverse functionalities to address different business processes within such organizations. However, challenges unique to asset-intensive industries such as multiplex global supply chains, geographically dispersed sites, and sporadic climatic conditions add to existing impediments. This paper explores the effects of ERP SYSTEMS on direct procurement with a focus on upstream asset-intensive industries. The study examines existing functionalities within ERP to determine benefits and constraints and builds on a framework with which to address potential gaps and opportunities. A quantitative research method was used to address five constructs related to ERP SYSTEMS functionality to support inventory levels, delivery lead-times, procure-to-pay process, engineering change management, and ERP usability. The findings reveal statistically significant relationships between ERP SYSTEMS effectiveness and all mentioned constructs, except the procure-to-pay process and ERP usability. The study informs on future improvements and feasible developments in procurement management and extends the scope of ERP SYSTEMS knowledge in asset intensive industries.
