According to the QFD methodology in concurrent engineering, we develop a methodology to make the implementation of ERP system more efficient and effective. This research is to design the prototype of a Function Deployment System of Enterprise Resources Planning (FDS_ERP), which can accelerate implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. In brief, this system is a hybrid QFD into which IDEF3 and IDEF4 are incorporated. And we use QFD to deploy the voice of the user and decomposed process/data flow and modules then describe their relationships. Using IDEF4 Object-Oriented Method to identify the objects for the ERP and describe their relationships between objects. Using IDEF3 Process Description Capture capabilities for modeling, analyzing and through business processes, organizations, data and functions. Using configuration management methodology to control the implement of ERP project.
Our proposed methodology can provide the functions as follows (1) Reducing ERP project cycle time from preparation to go live. (2) Improving communications among personnel involved in ERP project. (3) Improving the match of deployed and configured ERP system capability with stakeholders’ requirements.v
