 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.
 Once the implementation phase ends and
staff have started using the ERP system, the
real benefits of the ERP will be soon.

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
