Abstract

The implementation of an ERP system is a long and cost intensive process. Functions of the ERP system, which are delivered in an enterprise neutral but sector specific fashion need to be adjusted to the specific business requirements of an enterprise. Exact knowledge of the ERP system is required because each ERP system has its own technical concepts and terminologies. Therefore many enterprises employ ERP system experts in order to customise the ERP system to be introduced as well as to further enhance the customisation after its introduction. A concept for the implementation of a Self-Adaptive ERP System should allow for the automatic customisation of an ERP system on the basis of the of enterprise process models provided and analysis of the ERP system usage.
