(Compulsory) (1 ×××× 15 = 15)

17. As with any initiative, which impacts so many areas, Dofasco has come across

some roadblocks. The integration of business processes, vision and technology

has provided some interesting challenges. Constantly changing customer

requirements have also impacted these initiatives. According to Dofasco,

“customers appreciate our willingness to embrace these new concepts and our

assisting them in reducing their costs”.

The Dofasco e-business experience highlights some key issues when

considering e-business :

• The importance of revitalizing supply chain business processes. These

processes must be put under the same scrutiny that many companieshave done with their internal processes, because there may be a larger

payback.

• In order to achieve maximum benefits an appropriate mix of new or

revised business processes, and new technology must be deployed. This

means that for those companies implementing e-business solutions, that

the standard way of doing business will likely need to change, and new

investments in technology required, in order to maximize the benefits.

• Efforts must be made to standardize electronic communications as much

as possible.

• Companies must be relentlessly innovative and willing to take some risksin order to achieve better supply chain performance.

Discuss the challenges faced by Dofasco.
