Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in India are the most productive job designers and forerunners in developing new ideas in the field of business. SMEs not only play a vital role in providing large scale employment openings at reasonably lower capital than large businesses but also help in industrialization of rural areas in India. SMEs are complementary to large industries as subsidiary units and this sector contributes immensely to the socio-economic development of the country. Small and Medium scale industries have grown tremendously in the last 5 decades. In spite of high enthusiasm and intrinsic capabilities to grow, there are a number of problems faced by SME‟s; one of them is the „technological obsolescence‟. The SME sector in order to outcome this challenge must make advances in the field of engineering and technology. Adoption of Information Communication Technology in their business process can enhance their productivity and global competency.in the market. In this connection Enterprise Resource Planning plays a vital role in the SME‟s business process strategy. Hence there is a need for the motivation to implement ERP and find whether the current ICT solution the industries using are adequate for their strategy. In this paper we try to find out which ERP vendors does the SME sectors prefer, are the features of the ERP system and the implementation methodology selected have met the business goals and user satisfaction.

Integration impediment during ERP Developmentijtsrd
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems have increasingly been developed and integrated with other internal and external systems. This paper contributes to the field of enterprise systems integration by clarifying the concept of integration in the context of ERP systems. We investigated integration obstacles during ERP development in 5 large organizations through theme-based interviews. Besides considering integration as purely technical challenge, our findings reveal the other perspectives of integration. In total 31 environmental, technical, managerial, and organizational integration obstacles were identified from empirical data and further mapped with 13 ERP challenge categories derived from the literature. Our findings reveal that integration barriers are related to all 13 categories of ERP challenges. This indicates that integration should not be a separate project from ERP development.

Manufacturing Companies today are constantly in search for ways to achieve
better business performance and sustain competitive advantages through effective
deployment of resources and business processes. To improve business performance,
Manufacturing Companies require an efficient planning and control system that
synchronizes planning of all processes across the industry. Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) provides a centralized framework for all data and processes of an
industry. It integrates all aspects of a business from planning to inventory control,
manufacturing, sales, marketing, finance, customer service and human resources.
Manufacturing Companies undertake ERP implementations to achieve tangible
benefits including a significant return on investment. Accordingly the most common
benefit of Manufacturing Company is for an increase in response time due to better
availability of information. Another common benefit is increase in interaction across
the company, integration of business operations/processes, improved interaction with
customers, reduced direct operating and labour costs, reduced IT maintenance costs,
improved lead-time, improved inventory levels and improved interaction with
suppliers. A study was undertaken to assess impact of ERP as a Change Management
Tool in Manufacturing Companies. This article presents the key findings, conclusions
and suggestions.

IRJET- The Impact of Organization Size on ERP Implementation in Indian Indust...IRJET Journal
This document discusses a study on the impact of organization size on ERP implementation in Indian industries. It conducted case studies of 6 manufacturing companies ranging in annual revenue from 10 crore to billions. The key finding was that company size impacts ERP implementation in several ways. Larger companies tend to implement ERP for strategic reasons and customize systems more, while smaller companies implement ERP for tactical needs and adapt processes to fit systems. Implementation strategies also differ, with larger companies using phased approaches and smaller companies using "big bang" styles. Reported benefits also vary by size, with larger firms seeing more financial gains and smaller seeing manufacturing and logistics benefits. The study aims to confirm these initial findings through a broader survey.
Measuring Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems Effectiveness in IndonesiaTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Refining DeLone and McLean’s (D&M) information system model and technology-organisationenvironment
(TOE) framework, this research identifies the prominent factors that determine ERP system
success. Hypotheses are also drawn based on supporting theories to evaluate the causal relationship
between the success determinants. The level of achievement is measured by system quality, information
quality, service quality, external quality and top management support, which intermediated by perceived
usefulness and user satisfaction towards business benefits. To provide empirical evidence, 86 valid
samples out of 156 were collected using a web survey that targeted ERP users in Indonesia. Furthermore,
Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) algorithm were applied to check the
proposed hypotheses. The results suggest system quality, information quality and service quality
significantly affect user satisfaction, whereas they moderately impact on perceived usefulness.
Interestingly, external pressures were reported as being the biggest influence on user satisfaction and
positively impacted on perceived usefulness. Despite being fairly predictive to perceived usefulness, top
management support along with general perceptual factors ultimately promote system success by
elevating business benefits.

Critical Success Factors for Implementing an ERP System within University Con...IJMIT JOURNAL
Nowadays, Information Technology (IT) plays an important role in efficiency and effectiveness of the organizational performance. As an IT application, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is considered one of the most important IT applications because it enables the organizations to connect and interact with its administrative units in order to manage data and organize internal procedures. Many institutions use ERP systems, most notably Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). However, many projects fail or exceed scheduling and budget constraints; the rate of failure in HEIs sector is higher than in other sectors. With HEIs’ recent movement to implement ERP systems and the lack of research studies examining successful implementation in HEIs, this paper provides a critical literature review with a special focus on Saudi Arabia. Further, it defines Critical Success Factors (CSFs) contributing to the success of ERP implementation in HEIs. This paper is part of a larger research effort aiming to provide guidelines and useful findings that help HEIs to manage the challenges for ERP systems and define CSFs that will help practitioners to implement them in the Saudi context.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

This review focuses on the importance of identifying potential fishing zones in seawater for sustainable fishing practices. It explores features like sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH), along with classification methods such as classifiers. The features like SST, SSH, and different classifiers used to classify the data, have been figured out in this review study. This study underscores the importance of examining potential fishing zones using advanced analytical techniques. It thoroughly explores the methodologies employed by researchers, covering both past and current approaches. The examination centers on data characteristics and the application of classification algorithms for classification of potential fishing zones. Furthermore, the prediction of potential fishing zones relies significantly on the effectiveness of classification algorithms.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate

Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

identification of a Li-ion battery, employing a nonlinear autoregressive with
exogenous inputs (NARX) model. The proposed approach integrates the
benefits of nonlinear modeling with the adaptability of the NARX structure,
facilitating a more comprehensive representation of the intricate

Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.
Enhancing of single-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system using fuzzy logi...IJECEIAES
The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.
Enhancing photovoltaic system maximum power point tracking with fuzzy logic-b...IJECEIAES
Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.
Detecting and resolving feature envy through automated machine learning and m...IJECEIAES
Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.
Smart monitoring technique for solar cell systems using internet of things ba...IJECEIAES
Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

integrated package where the managers can efficiently use it to improve internal communication, productivity
and get a visually pleasing report for decision making.
Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are looking to the cloud, analytics and mobile
solutions to improve operations and become more efficient, according to a new research report by Circle
Research, according to a press release issued by enterprise application software company SAP, which
sponsored the research.
To sustain in the market and improve the productivity are forcing them to completely reconsider
traditional business models and adopt cutting edge technologies like cloud and big data. Where these
technologies help SMEs to achieve business success and fulfill their ambitions. In this paper we try to know
how many SMEs have put into use ERP for their business and find it helpful for the working in their
organization.
Kanishka Samudaya Nanayakkara et.al [1] work shows that there is a significant impact to the
achievement of the ERP execution venture if ERP usage group comprises of high number of Early Adopters
(or superior opinion leaders). Kanishka Samudaya Nanayakkara et.al [2] works on the construction
organizations in Sri Lanka and sows that the influencing factor for implementation and success for an ERP is
not only the IT factors but also non IT factors also influence in the selection. The factors were grouped into
Major factors, Moderate factors and Minor factors. It is also has been observed in their work that Some of the
factors that usually perceived as important in the selection stage are actually not significantly important in the
ERP implementation process and its success [3]. According to the ERP report of 2015 one of the factors for
implementing ERP was to replace the old ERP or legacy systems to new ERP systems. It is also reported that
most of the manufacturing companies have implemented ERP the growth rate is increased from 27 percent to
43 percent. The success factors of the ERP implementation was less since the implementation took most of
the time and were over budget. [4] According to the report by Panorama Consulting shows that the Titans of
ERP vendors such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or Infor ERP solutions, the study shows that SAP is
the most commonly short-listed ERP system of the four. SAP is followed by Oracle, Microsoft and Infor.
Ahmed J. Aljaaf et.al [5] their study shows that change management strategies‟ are important in adopting
new system by the employees, which reduces staff resistance by clear and systematic implementation of
ERP. With the support of top managers, feedback management and opportunities to change plays an
important role in implementation of ERP. The study tells us that by practicing team approach and having
champion teams, organizations would be capable of creating cooperation and thus strengthen application of
enterprise resource management. H. Gupta et.al [6] enlisted three critical success factors to succeed in ERP
implementation they are: Top Management responsible for the entire ERP implementation, Project
Management which focuses on pre-implementation, implementation, post implementation phases and Change
Management which plays a vital role in implementing ERP. These factors were evaluated using the Plan-Do-
Check-Act evaluation method which evaluated each phase of implementation in the Project Management.
Ewa Ziemba and Iwona Obłąk, [8] in their paper they explained the nature of business process management,
especially in public administration in Poland. They grouped the factors into the following category namely:
a. Factors related to public procurement procedure;
b. Factors related to government processes management;
c. Factors related to project team competences (knowledge and skills of the project team related to
implementation of information systems, especially erp systems in public administration); and
d. Factors related to the project management.
Among these the important factor is the public procurement procedure. Legal regulations in the
public procurement procedure make the ERP implementation delay due to prolongation of the purchase and
also the implementation time. In public administration, the scope of changes is quite extensive and mainly
includes changes in government processes; hence the change management factor also affects the prolongation
of the ERP implementation. An article by Daphne Rich and Jens Dibbern [9] has written the impacts of post
implementation phase of ERP system. They have considered and adapted all the elements of the IS success
models for the post implementation phase. It mainly tells about the variations in user satisfaction. The overall
Usefulness of the ERP implementation lies on the End User Satisfaction (EUS).
H1: A higher degree of Usefulness leads to a higher degree of overall EUS.
P. T. Kale et al. [11] Vendors need to lengthen the ERP solution to better meet the requirements of
SMEs. Since the financial resources of SMEs are limited, the cost of ERP system needs to be further reduced.
SMEs on their part need to carefully evaluate their current IT systems and document its shortcomings. They
discussed the issues and challenges of ERP implementation.
Bernhard Wieder et al. [12] in their research studied the performance indicators on financial and
non-financial sectors when adopting ERP systems for their business domain. Using ERPS adoption, ERPS
history and ERPS extension (with a SCMS) as independent variables and KPIs for supply chain performance
and firm performance as dependent variables, they found that the higher the overall firm performance, but

again surprisingly not the supply chain performance. But extending the ERP System there was increase in the
supply chain performance.
2. METHODOLOGY AND EXPERIMENT RESULTS
The main aim of our research is to determine the vital factors in selection, implementation and
satisfaction of ERP. A survey was conducted in Small and Medium Scale Industries in and around South
India. Data were gathered from the firms which have implemented and not implemented ERP systems.
Sample sizes of 40 SMEs were selected by the method of simple random sampling. Data gathering tool in
this study is a questionnaire that was prepared after examining relevant texts and related indexes were
extracted. Only one survey questionnaire was sent to an ERP organization user. The respondents were
manager, inventory manager, production manager and marketing executive. Since some of the SMEs did not
return the questionnaire and some questionnaires were partially filled, we had to discard 12 questionnaires
and finally the analysis was conducted for 28 companies only. To ensure that the inquiries that ought to be
incorporated into the survey the past work of the researches were reviewed. Based on the factors the
following hypothesis was constructed.
H1: Organizations efficiency and productivity improved by implementing ERP systems
H2: Big Bang methodology was used to implement ERP systems.
H3: Enhancing the current ERP system to match the current general strategies of the enterprise.
H4: The majority of the organizations go for vendors well known example SAP.
2.1. Benefits
ERP systems are used to provide the same updated and accurate information across different
functions is what makes the application so valuable to enterprises. The advantage of these systems is the
same information is viewed by all the people in different departments. The ERP system forwards this updated
and accurate information to the next concerned department, which is defined in the workflow. Apart from
the low cost ownership the implementation of ERP systems gives more advantage to the organization like
increased productivity, reduced operational cost, improved internal communication and improved customer
service and order fulfillment as shown in the Figure 1. The Hypothesis H1: Organizations efficiency and
productivity improved by implementing ERP systems is true. Table 1 show the frequency distribution for
benefits in ERP System implementation.

2.2. Implementation Approach
When a new system needs to be implemented in an organization there are many ways they can
implement. The different ways are:
Big Bang approach where all the modules of the system are implemented together and the go live date for all
the sections/departments will be the same. In phased approach the adaptation happens in sequential manner,
in parallel approach the old and new system will be alive for some time until the end users become
acquainted to the new system. Hybrid approach combines both phased and parallel approach. According
to our study, most of the organizations used Big Bang approach to implement the ERP system. The frequency
of these approaches is shown in the Table 2 below. Hence the Hypothesis H2: Big Bang methodology was
used to implement ERP systems is true.

Parallel 7 25.0 25.0 85.7
Hybrid 4 14.3 14.3 100.0
Total 28 100.0 100.0
2.3. Vendors
Vendors are people who develop ERP packages. They are the people who invested huge amount of
money, time and effort in research and development of ERP solutions. There are many vendors in the
marketplace; selection of the right ERP vendor contributes to the success of the ERP implementation. The
bigger vendor does not always mean better. The reasons for opting bigger ones are financial stability,
longevity and various spectrums of offerings. Small vendors that are not known may carry increased risks in
the area of long term longevity, but they provide better solution in a spectrum of industries. Table 3 shows
that SAP is a leading ERP player in the ERP market. Many of the small scale industries in and around South
India prefer SAP with 53.6%, hence H4 is true.
Table 3. Frequency distribution for Vendors

Tally 5 17.9 17.9 89.3
Others 3 10.7 10.7 100.0
Total 28 100.0 100.0
2.4. Organizational Fit
Most of the Small scale enterprises implement Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems as a
base strategy to integrate all of their data and bring their organization into a joint system. The selected ERP
has to fit the organization with some contingency factors such as strategy, structure, process, technology,
environment, etc. to make sure that the Information System and the ERP system will much fit the
requirement of enterprise general process. Paired samples t test has been used to analyze the correlation
between vendor selected and the benefits derived. This test analysis indicates that for all the 28 organizations
used in the sample, most of them prefer the vendor due to the benefits derived from them. Since the
correlation value is .326, it is found that the organizations which are using SAP as their vendor has derived
maximum benefits as shown in Table 3 and Table 4. Therefore the hypothesis H3 is also true.

3. CONCLUSION
This study aims to improve understanding of critical factors affecting ERP implementation success
in South India. As indicated by our study, at present we found that SAP is the real driving Vendor in India.
ERP frameworks executed by SME parts have discovered advantages like increment in efficiency,
improvement in order fulfillment and interior correspondence additionally expanded because of joint
framework and real diminishment in operational expense was watched. The research result shows that
organizational fit of ERP impacts execution achievement when the choice of ERP depends on upon
comprehended ERP dealers.
However, because of the little sample size in the review, there are a few confinements in the
speculation of the examination results to a bigger population. Meanwhile, ERP execution is not a transient
errand persevering only a couple of months, but a long-term program which may last for one or several years.
Factors affecting ERP implementation are complex and abundant, thus many researchers conduct case study
only to find out some specific problems with ERP implementation. Undoubtedly, detailed case study is a
powerful tool to solicit important issues disregarding to its disadvantage of generalization problems. Along
these lines, contextual investigation and an expansive study would be a perfect technique to specialists in the
ERP field.
