Abstract:

Implementation of effective sustainability within organisations requires an integrated information system, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (S-ERP) systems. The S-ERP system helps organisations to integrate all sustainability activities into the main database within an organisation. To implement this system, practitioners need a master plan consisting of a roadmap, framework, and guidelines. Previous studies have examined the important concept of the S-ERP system, the development and evaluation of S-ERP roadmap, and the development of the S-ERP framework. This study proposes an evaluation of the S-ERP framework using expert review methods. Twelve experts are involved in the interview to evaluate the content and usefulness of the framework. The results of the analysis show that the initial S-ERP framework should be divided into two parts: sustainability implementation framework and system implementation framework. The sustainability implementation framework includes two aspects: sustainability paradigm (environment, economy, society) and decisional paradigm (strategic level, tactical level, and operational level). The operational level comprising the value chain components of an organisation. The system implementation framework consists of two aspects: strategic and implementation levels. Experts affirm that the S-ERP framework can be used by organisations from various industries.

6. Conclusions

The content of the S-ERP framework is evaluated using peer review method, which involved 12 experts from sustainability and ERP implementation field for data collection. The peer review process enables the improvement of structure and quality of the framework. The collected data are then qualitatively analysed through three main activities: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Accordingly, the initial S-ERP framework needs to be classified into two parts, namely sustainability implementation framework and system implementation framework.

The present study gives a significant contribution to academic and practice. In academic viewpoint, this study will improve the research growth in S-ERP systems implementation. The S-ERP framework fills in the knowledge gap and completes the structure of the S-ERP systems master plan. In practical viewpoint, the S-ERP framework is useful for organisations in practising sustainability. The framework provides the important aspects of transforming the organisations towards sustainable organisations and sustainably integrated organisations. By evaluating the S-ERP framework through experts, the quality and reliability of the framework have been improved. This is valuable for practitioners as they need a reliable technique to guide them in implementing the S-ERP systems. In addition, the implementation of S-ERP systems is advantageous for organisations in terms of decision-making process since the integrated systems can generally streamline the sustainable business operations and reduce the energy consumption up to 40 % (Monk and Wagner, 2012).
