Abstract
Recently many companies try to promote SCM (supply chain management). The objective of SCM is to maximize the operation efficiency covering the entire process of supply chain and minimize the loss opportunity of sales. Because of production lead time of re-roll maker is generally longer than crude steel maker, it is more effective to introduce SCM to re-roll maker. Toyo Kohan, which is one of the re-roll makers, has been promoted SCM since 2002. Until now, we have established the consistent production control system, hot band procurement system and business support system for SCM. These systems have performed very well so far. As for the next step of promoting SCM, we have developed WEB sales information system to make closer relation with our customers. Using this system, we can accept orders, provide shipping and stock information and exchange delivery information with our customer. This new system has been introduced 2005. This paper is described outline of this system.
