Major Challenges faced in Implementation of an ERP System
in Uttam Dairy

Resistance to change - Despite the clear benefits of ERP solutions, people just really
don’t like change, and replacing. This is worse if your team don’t fully understand the
importance of implementing the new ERP system.

Proper & Adequate Training - Employees should be trained properly because we can’t
let unskilled or semiskilled staff go onboard, that may result in downgrading
productivity. So The existing team should get the proper training to be familiar with
the software.

Not properly vetting vendors - It took many meetings and ERP expert sessions to
vetting the vendors, because once the system is implemented then you realize how
restricted the functionality is.

Maintenance costs - An ERP system might seem cheap to start with, but if you don’t
factor in the maintenance costs attached to it before implementation, you can end up
with overwhelmingly large sums to pay.

of the supply chain to its very end, data plays a key role in bringing the entire set together.
