A Proposal for Using Parallel Flows with the Aid of DSS in ERP Projects

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) can provide benefits of cross-organization integration through embedded business process, if successfully implemented. But it is too difficult to implement an ERP system in an organization successfully. Therefore, techniques required to increase the successful implementation rate in ERP projects. On the other hand, the MIS departments of industry sectors typically provide Decision Support System (DSS). More recently, ERP and related systems are incorporating DSS tools and technologies. In this article, a new method to create parallel flows that make different use of DSS in ERP systems is proposed. To illustrate this new method, a case of parallel flows has been shown. The use of parallel flows leads to improve the main workflow in ERP systems and it will consequently increase the percentage of success of ERP in an organization.
