Abstract

An implementation of Sustainable Enterprise Resource Planning (S-ERP) systems is challenging that requires multidisciplinary skills, knowledge, and coordinated efforts of all levels in an organization. Related study in S- ERP systems had been done, however, they only highlighted on the imperative of the system and empirical analysis of the system implementation without looking into detail on how to implement this integrated system. This lack of comprehensive plan and direction to guide practitioners in implementing S-ERP system would result in increased sustainability implementation cost and time and the decline in the quality of products and services. This problem motivates the researchers to propose a master plan of the S-ERP system implementation that consists of a roadmap, a framework, and guidelines. A development of S-ERP roadmap has been underscored in the previous paper. For the next phase, the roadmap is then evaluated by using a peer review method, which is the focus of this paper. The evaluation consists of two main processes including data collection and data analysis. In this regard, twelve experts had participated in the peer review. As a result, the developed roadmap needs to be expanded into two roadmaps, namely roadmap towards sustainable enterprise and roadmap towards sustainable integrated enterprise. From the evaluation results, the experts confirmed that the proposed S-ERP implementation roadmap can generally be used for implementing the S-ERP systems in all types of industry. The roadmap could serve as a theoretical base for further research into S-ERP system research, which can give more insight into the system implementation. In addition, this roadmap could serve as a tool for practitioners in implementing S-ERP systems within organizations.
