Rassmatrivayutsya kharakternye osobennosti sovremennykh ERP sistem. Proizvoditsya postanovka zadachi vybora oborudovaniya ERP sistem v formal'nom vide. Osvyashcheny trebovaniya, kotorym dolzhen udovletvoryat' metod vybora apparatnykh sredstv ERP sistem. Opisyvayutsya sposoby formalizatsii protsessov obrabotki informatsii (biznes-protsessov) v ERP sistemakh. Predstavlen algoritm vybora oborudovaniya ERP sistem. Ot sushchestvuyushchikh analogov predlagaemyy algoritm otlichaetsya uchetom spetsifiki ERP sistem, orientirovannykh na predpriyatiya s protsessnym tipom upravleniya. I esli traditsionnye podkhody k vyboru oborudovaniya v kachestve iskhodnykh dannykh rassmatrivayut obobshchennye potoki zayavok na obsluzhivanie (t.e. tochechnye sobytiya, dlya kotorykh zadano srednee vremya obsluzhivaniya), to razrabotannyy algoritm beret v raschet protsessy obrabotki informatsii, uchityvaya ikh osobennosti, takie kak tsikly, vetvleniya i tsepochki parallel'no vypolnyayushchikhsya operatsiy. Dlya etogo primenyayutsya teoriya grafov i teoriya formal'nykh yazykov. V rezul'tate obespechivaetsya vysokoe kachestvo vkhodnykh dannykh dlya analiza i povyshaetsya tochnost' raschetov.
