Improving supply chain management processes through digital transformation of ERP systems in the oil and gas industry

Abstract

This research investigates the changes caused by cloud computing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the oil and gas industry at different levels of organisational structure, processes, supply chain management, and employee management processes across an entire organisation. This research improved on the use of digital transformation and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and its impact on supply chain management with a desktop study approach. This study aims to enhance how ERP integrated software package for the oil and gas industry is implemented in supply chain management operations. The study uses a qualitative approach to establish high-performance operational processes and administers questionnaires to oil and gas companies. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires. The researchers implemented cloud ERP after giving survey questions to managers in the supply chain of oil and gas firms and assessing their responses. The results show a positive impact that will come with cloud ERP implementation in oil and gas companies. Since the result is higher than 0.70, as evidenced by the analysis's 0.81 Cronbach Alpha reliability co-efficient score, the qualitative analysis' output is homogeneous. Oil and gas firms may maintain complete control over storage costs while instantly satisfying consumer demands thanks to the supply chain management system.
