A successfully implementation ERP system
will not automatically produce results.
 As technology advances, new software with

more features and capacities will emerge.
 This requires continuous improvements,

continuous learning and an ongoing
implementation.
 Most of the companies treat ERP
implementation as projects, with the
assumption that someday the projects will
but the ERP system cannot end with the
implementation.

staff have started using the ERP system, the
real benefits of the ERP will be soon.
 Employee Relocation and Re-Training

Break-Down Maintenance:
This is a reactive approach, i.e., dealing with
break-downs or problems when they occur.
Preventive Maintenance:
This is a proactive approach, i.e., reducing break-
downs through a programme of lubrication,
adjustment, cleaning, inspection, and
replacement of worn parts.
 Time-Based: Preventive maintenance work is due at
specific intervals (e.g., in every sixth month, part need to
be lubricated).
 Performance-Based: Preventive maintenance work is due
when a specific performance level has been reached (e.g.,
an aircraft part need to be replaced after every 50,000km
of flying).
 Condition-Based: Preventive maintenance work is due
when a condition is outside of a specific value range (e.g.,
cooling of a part is needed when temperature reaches
85°C).
 Negotiate Lower Software License Fees:
 Limit Software Customization during ERP System
Implementation:
 Explore Third-Party Support and Maintenance
Options:
 Negotiate Lower Ongoing Professional Service
Rates:
 Quantity your Total Direct and Indirect
