The USA Principle: A Philosophy for Implementing Your ERP System On Time And On Budget By Karl M. Kapp, Ed.D., CFPIM, CIRM Pages: 41 PDF Price: $12.00 Print Price: $16.00 (Plus Shipping & Handling) Why do so many implementations of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems fail? What can a company do to make sure its ERP implementation is a success? Karl Kapp, Ed.D., CFPIM, CIRM, answers these questions in "The USA Principle: A Philosophy for Implementing Your ERP System On Time and On Budget." A conceptual framework is necessary to provide a sequence for automating organizational systems with ERP software. The framework must follow a simple set of proven and effective rules. The first rule of the proposed implementation philosophy is for the organization to gain an understanding of its existing business processes. The second rule is to simplify overly complex processes. The third rule is to automate only after the first two rules have been followed. These three rules are referred to as the USA Principle. Understand the processes within the business, Simplify those processes, and only then, Automate those processes. This simple, effective philosophy focuses an organization on the business needs driving the implementation and leads to implementation success.
