Abstract

To successfully take on an ERP system, SMEs need to be dynamic with changing time and emerging trends to have an edge over competitors. Despite all, there might be some common problems that may be always considered as foremost which influence SME's success rate to achieve objectives. The central aim of this paper is to make an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) through SPSS 18.0 to analyze and prioritize the most critical problems (MCPs) during ERP implementation. In effect, SMEs can take care of these problems on war footing basis to realize its sustainable success stories with most critical success factors (MCSFs), by implementing Lean Six Sigma implementation to ERP.
