Abstract

This study aims to identify whether there
are relationships between the benefits of ERP Implementation (ERPI) and Supply
Chain Management Performance (SCMP) in Turkish manufacturing firms context. The
study includes a detailed literature review on both ERPI and SCMP. In this
direction, a questionnaire adopted from previous studies has been created. The relevant
questionnaire, which was obtained research ethics committee approval, was
applied to a randomly defined sample of 284 manufacturing firms from various
sectors. Obtained data was analyzed via the use of reliability, descriptive
statistics, correlations, factor and regression analyses. The results of the
study empirically proved that ERPI benefits are related to SCMP measures.

ERP İMPLEMENTASYONUNUN FAYDALARI VE TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ PERFORMANSI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: TÜRK İMALAT İŞLETMELERİNDE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türk imalat işletmelerinde
Tedarik Zinciri Yönetimi Performansı (SCMP) ve ERP İmplementasyonunun (ERPI)
faydaları arasında ilişki olup olmadığını belirlemeyi hedeflemektedir.
Araştırma, ERPI ve SCMP üzerine detaylı bir literatür değerlendirmesini
içermektedir. Bu doğrultuda; daha önce yapılmış çalışmalardan elde edinilen bir
anket oluşturulmuştur. Etik kurul izni alınan ilgili anket, çeşitli
sektörlerden rastgele seçilen 284 imalat işletmesine uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen
veriler, güvenilirlik, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, korelasyon, faktör ve regresyon
analizleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, ERPI
faydalarının SCMP ölçütleriyle ilişkili olduğunu ampirik olarak kanıtlamıştır.
