Abstract: | ERP-specific reference models describe on a conceptual level the structure and functionality of enterprise resource planning solutions. However, these models focus on depicting executable processes and do not take into account tasks related to business engineering, system selection, implementation or change. This paper discusses how reference process models can be used within the entire ERP lifecycle. All phases of the ERP lifecycle have individual requirements for the management of the relevant knowledge. It will be shown how extended reference models can serve as a knowledge repository for enterprise resource planning. This paper includes several pragmatic recommendations for managers involved in ERP projects. |
