Abstract: Effective use of SAP ERP systems in apparel manufacturing under multi-factory settings significantly plays a role in attaining organizational objectives such as improving organizational operation, establishing standardized processes, and managing data. SAP ERP systems such as SAP S/4HANA and SAP AFS are analysed for this study to ascertain the opportunities for the realization of efficiencies, case studies, and prospects of the SAP ERP systems. Real-life examples like Hela Apparel Holdings and Crocs prove that these systems minimize wastage, and increase the reliability of forecasts of maintenance needs and inventory control. Findings are discussed through theoretical perspectives such as TOE Framework and Contingency Theory. It also notes that it is SAP ERP systems that are crucial in managing industry issues, enhancing standardization of business processes, and encouraging growth. The paper also presents practical solutions on how to counteract and avoid the problematic implementation and to enhance this system’s impact on the organisation’s change.
