Effectiveness of GenNext framework on critical parameters of ERP implementation: a statistical comparison of traditional methodology and Gennext framework

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations are known for high failure rates and crossing the defined budget and schedule. A new framework GenNext is introduced to arrest these issues. The objective of this paper is to validate the effectiveness of the framework and compare the benefits with respect to traditional methodology. Five projects were executed by the traditional methodology and using GenNext framework. The cost of quality (COQ), effort, number of defects and defect injection rate (DIR) were measured and compared. Projects executed using GenNext framework were efficient in effort saving, reduction in defects, COQ and DIR.
