Enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) represent important information technology investment options for operation or IT managers, and have been acclaimed in the practitioner and academic literature for their potential to improve business performance. The purpose of this article is to provide further insights into the adoption of ERP systems and the impacts on firm competence in SCM. We propose a model featuring ERP benefits to firm competences in supply chain management. We also hypothesize that three constructs of ERP benefits positively impact firm competences in SCM. To clarify the relationships among these constructs, structural equation model (SEM) is conducted to examine the model fit and nine hypotheses. The SEM results clearly demonstrate that there exist close interrelations among the benefits of implementing ERP systems and firm competences in SCM. The data from Taiwanese IT firms was collected through interviewing of experts and surveys. The results provide empirical evidence that the beneficial impacts of ERP on the supply chain do lead to better overall SCM competence. That evidence confirms that operational benefits, business process and management benefits, and strategic IT planning benefits of ERP in turn enhance firm competences of SCM in operational process integration, customer and relationship integration, and planning and control process integration.

Increasing global cooperation and a focus on core activities have led to the notion that firms are links in a networked supply chain. Incorporating enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in supply chain management (SCM) is supposed to further enhance the effectiveness of delivery scheduling, inventory control, and increase distribution productivity among channel members. This article is, from operational and information integration perspective, to provide further insights into the relationship of implementation of ERP systems and the impacts on firm competence in SCM. A conceptual framework is proposed. The framework is featuring the ERP benefits and SCM competences. We apply structural equation model (SEM) to discover important ERP attributes leading to the success of supply chain performance. The results provide empirical evidence that the beneficial impacts of ERP on the supply chain do lead to better overall SCM competence and performance.

Supply chain design is becoming a core competency, and the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is expected to be an integral component of supply chain management (SCM). Installing an ERP system is, however, expensive and risky. IT managers must decide how to use their limited resources and invest in the right product. Can an ERP system directly improve SCM competency? This study proposes a conceptual framework featuring the ERP benefits and SCM competencies, and examines the impacts of the former on the latter. The results confirm the operational, managerial, and strategic benefits of ERP for the SCM competencies, but not the IT infrastructure and organizational benefits as significant predictors of them. Moreover, more than 80% of respondents think it necessary to first adopt an ERP system as the backbone of company operations before deploying other enterprise systems (ES), such as the SCM system.
