ARCHITECTURAL MODELS FOR INDUSTRIAL ERPs ORIENTED TOWARDS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

ERP systems play a central role in the management of industrial environments by integrating productive, administrative, and managerial processes into a unified information structure, directly influencing organizational operational efficiency. In this context, system architecture becomes a strategic element, as it conditions the capacity for adaptation, integration, and evolution of industrial operations in response to contemporary demands. This study aims to analyze, through a literature review, architectural models of industrial ERP systems oriented toward operational efficiency, seeking to understand how different architectural approaches impact organizational performance and process integration. The research is qualitative and descriptive in nature, adopting a literature review as the methodological procedure, based on the analysis of relevant scientific publications addressing ERP system architecture, operational efficiency, and organizational impacts. The results indicate that rigid architectural models tend to limit system flexibility and evolutionary capacity, whereas architectures oriented toward modularity and functional decomposition show greater potential to support complex and dynamic industrial operations. It is concluded that the operational efficiency provided by ERP systems is directly associated with the coherence between the adopted architecture, organizational processes, and information management practices, reinforcing the importance of architectural decisions aligned with the specificities of the industrial context.
