Abstract
The aim of the work presented in this paper is to determine the most
important CSFs which have the strongest impact on the implementation of
Lean tools and ERP systems within SMEs. To achieve this aim, a methodology
of two phases was adopted: the first phase was a literature review to identify
the set of CSFs that have an impact on the Lean tools and ERP systems’
implementation; the second involved the design of a questionnaire and the
gathering of data from SMEs regarding the factors which they consider
influence the successful implementation of Lean tools and ERP systems. Ten
SMEs were involved in completing the questionnaire and the first analysis was
based upon the six responses received. This study has indicated that there is a
positive correlation between the CSFs for Lean tools and that of ERP systems.
