Some efforts have been rendered in this research to identify and check ERP carrying-out hindrances in the Iranian manufacturing industrial incorporations in order to obliterate such impediments. Three companies including Sarcheshmeh cupreous firm, Sayna (Paksan) Hygienics Corporation, and Minoo industrial group have been opted for in a cluster-based methodology out of the statistical community of ERP implementation specialists in Iran. The pertinent questionnaires were dispensed and collected from the deft maestros of these three corporations. AHP methodology was utilized to pinpoint the priorities of carrying-out hindrances in Iranian manufacturing and industrial incorporations. Research corollaries denote that ERP implementation impediments in the Iranian manufacturing and industrial firms are prioritizingly as follows: organizational structural quandaries, cultural predicaments, strategic problems, technological plights, infrastructural quandaries (expert humans).
