A FRAMEWORK FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERN ERP: INTELLIGENT ERP SYSTEMS

Öz

The ERP approach, which emerged in the 1990s, has now been replaced by a structure that produces its own data and analyze these data using AI approach. This situation has revealed the necessity of examining ERP systems in terms of intelligence. Intelligent ERP has created a decision mechanism that starts to generate its own data while managing the data it contains and combines them with AI techniques. Statistical analysis, BI and AI are the main perspectives at this stage for decision-makers. The aim of this paper is to examine the ERP in terms of the existing literature and to examine the concept of intelligent ERP born because of the integration of AI into ERP systems. This approach, also called next generation ERP, has the potential to increase the performance and competitiveness of businesses by making the automation process easier/faster, as it is driven by machine learning algorithms and analytical tools.

Kurumsal Kaynak Planlamasının Evrimi: Gelenekselden Akıllı ERP Sistemlerine Kavramsal Bir Çerçeve

Öz

1990’lı yıllarda ortaya çıkan ERP yaklaşımı, günümüzde yerini kendi verisini üreten ve bu verileri yapay zekâ yaklaşımını kullanarak analiz edebilen bir yapıya bırakmıştır. Bu durum da ERP sistemlerinin akıllılık boyutunda incelenmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bir başka ifadeyle, akıllı ERP; içerdiği veriyi yönetirken kendi verisini de üretmeye başlayan ve bunları yapay zekâ teknikleriyle birleştiren bir karar mekanizmasını oluşturmuştur. Akıllı ERP’nin ortaya koyduğu kayıtların/verilerin yönetilmesi, karara döndürülebilmesi ve rasyonel anlamda modernize edilmesi boyutunda istatistiksel analiz, iş zekâsı ve yapay zekâ bu aşamadaki temel bakış açılarıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, mevcut literatür kapsamında, ERP yolculuğunu ele alıp, yapay zekânın ERP sistemlerine entegrasyonu sonucu doğan akıllı ERP kavramını incelemektir. Yeni nesil ERP olarak da adlandırılan bu yaklaşım; makine öğrenmesi algoritmaları ve analitik araçlar tarafından yönlendirildiğinden dolayı, otomasyon sürecini kolay ve hızlı hale getirerek işletmelerin performans ve rekabet gücünü artırma potansiyeli taşımaktadır.
