Abstract
Description
The main philosophy of Supply Chain Management (SCM) is to have the right product in the right place, at the right price, at the right time and in the right condition. Therefore, organisations need not only ensure the flow of right information internally, but must also share information with the right supply chain partners at the right time. In order to achieve these goals, organisations need an information system such as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. [1]
An ERP system is a business process management software widely used in organisations to maintain information flow along the supply chain. It is generally conceived as an important precursor to supply chain performance and a very useful tool utilised across many industries. ERP implementation began in Western nations in early 90s. However, the adoption and usage of ERP in Sri Lankan Transport and Logistics industry took place at a slow rate. There are relatively less studies available in relation to the use of ERP systems in Transport and Logistics industry globally.
