Aarav Textiles' ERP implementation ran well over budget because management kept asking the vendor to alter standard modules to mirror old manual processes. Which ERP challenge does this scenario best illustrate?

The scenario shows excessive customisation, a known ERP challenge. Altering standard modules to copy old manual processes increases cost and implementation time and makes future upgrades harder. The other options describe ERP benefits rather than problems.

  1. AExcessive customisation leading to cost and time overruns and difficult upgradesCorrect
  2. BLack of real-time reporting
  3. CInability to integrate finance with inventory
  4. DReduced data redundancy

Explanation

Heavy modification of standard modules to fit legacy processes is the classic customisation problem, raising cost and implementation time and complicating later upgrades. Real-time reporting and integration are ERP strengths, and reduced redundancy is a benefit, not a challenge.
