Abstract
Reusing business process and data requirements is fundamental to the development of modern Enterprise Resource Planning systems. Currently, measuring the benefits from ERP reuse is attracting increasing attention, yet most organizations have very little familiarity with approaches to evaluating quantitatively requirements reuse customers have achieved. This paper is intended to provide a solid understanding of ERP requirements reuse measurement. It describes the first results obtained from the integration of explicit and systematic reuse measurement with standard requirements engineering (RE) practices in ERP implementation projects. Aspects of measurement planning, execution and reuse data usage are analyzed in the context of SAP R/3 implementation. As a preliminary result of our study, the paper concludes that the proposed approach shows considerable promise.
