To provide valuable insights into ERP identifying the critical factors are the most important issue in achieving quality and success. Both in literature and practice there are quite a few of success factors for ERP applications. One of the purposes of this paper is to empirically classify the most important critical factors referred by scholars in previous studies. Another purpose is to determine the critical success factors in the light of end-user perceptions. In this respect exploratory factor analysis was conducted to determine the factorial structure of the scale. Data was collected 128 ERP end-users from different departments of companies in manufacturing industry. The results of the analysis provided a six-dimensional structure for critical success factors (CSFs) in quality and successful ERP applications. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
