This research aims to examine the effects of implementing ERP in SCM at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Ethiopia. The study addresses critical success factors for ERP implementation, challenges faced during implementation, the impact of user involvement and training, and methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation process. The findings of this study will contribute to project management practices and provide insights into the benefits and challenges of ERP implementation in SCM. The research methodology for this study involves a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. Quantitative data was gathered through Likert scale questionnaires, while qualitative data was obtained through interviews with unit managers and implementers, as well as document analysis. The combination of these methods has provided a comprehensive understanding of the impact of ERP implementation in SCM at ILRI. The study's findings will be beneficial for project management practitioners and academics, enhancing their understanding of the success and failure factors in ERP implementation. Furthermore, the research will contribute to knowledge regarding the effects of successful ERP implementation on supply chain management in an Ethiopian context. The study also highlights the advantages of ERP, such as effective decision-making and improved supply chain management
