Modeling Evaluation of readiness to implement Enterprise resource Planning (ERP) in Military Setting (A case study of the Army Ground Force: I.R. of Iran)

Evaluation of readiness to implement ERP in military settings is one of the stages of the system application; readiness in terms of structural, management and human dimension and the limitation looming ahead. Not only can a study like this reveal the rank of Iranian Military Organizations in ERP implementation compared to the developing countries but it can also facilitate effective steps to implement the systems in light of strategic planning. As an applied – descriptive research, this study was initiated with selecting certain proposed criteria leading to development of a questionnaire attempted by the sample population. The respective statistical analysis revealed identification of certain effective criteria in the evaluation process. Ultimately, the process led to proposing a model of evaluation accommodating three strategic, tactical and operational dimensions and then introducing readiness plans for the Iranian Military organizations to implement the system.
