Abstract
. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is being used in textile and apparel companies for decades. The ERP software to be ready for usage involves various steps like evaluation, selection, negotiation, implementation and post implementation. All these processes have to be carefully handled to avail the complete benefits of using the ERP system. Although, all the above said processes are important to successful ERP usage, implementation process plays a major role as it makes or breaks the usage of ERP system. There are many companies which have removed the ERP system implemented in their company after three years due to issues in the system which were not taken care during implementation and its continued presence. There is also equal contribution from company and top management in ensuring smooth implementation. The employee related issues are explained and solutions for taking care of that are provided. The cost based issues are highlighted and ways to minimize the issues are detailed. This study gives a clear idea that coordination at all levels by all stakeholders are required for a smooth ERP implementation process so that the benefits of ERP can be used in a longer run thereby leading to improved efficiency and productivity of a textile and apparel company.
