Matching industrialised timber frame housing needs and enterprise resource planning: A change process

The potential for improvements in industrialised housing through the adoption of concepts like enterprise resource planning (ERP) from the manufacturing industry, as applied to small and medium‐sized enterprises, is evaluated in this paper. Four single, consecutive case studies were performed at a Swedish medium‐sized industrialised housing company. The findings suggest that ERP can meet industrialised housing needs as well as promote an organisation to be re‐engineered through comprehensive change and act as a driver for a more efficient internal and external supply chain.
