ERP research, development and implementation in China: an overview

An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a highly integrated enterprise information system that manages all aspects of the business operations of an enterprise including production planning, purchasing, engineering design, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, accounting and customer service. In the last two decades, Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) and ERP have been successfully introduced into Chinese industry. Supported by sponsored research programmes, the research outcomes on ERP systems by Chinese academic researchers have been directly supporting the Chinese ERP software industry. An overview of ERP research and its development and implementation in China will be given here. The research trend of ERP systems will also be discussed.
