1. Migrating Supply Chain Management Process Online: A Study in Malaysian Companies.

Alain Chong Yee Loong

There  has  been  an  increasing  trend  for  Electrical  and  Electronic  (E&E)  companies  to migrate  their  Supply Chain Management  (SCM)  online  using  Internet  technologies.  In Malaysia however, many of  these E&E companies have not or are reluctant  to  invest  in IT to improve their SCM. 
 
In order for companies to successfully migrate their SCM online, they need to solve both technical  and  business  issues  that  are  involved  during  and  after  the  migration.  One example  for  solving  the  technical  issues  is  that of  the Rosettanet Standards. Rosettanet standards  promised  to  solve  the  integration  issues  of  online  SCM  in  particular  by allowing companies to communicate in the same e-business standards.  
 
This paper presents an on-going study supported by Rosettanet Malaysia.   A case study on  the  implementation  of  Rosettanet  standards  in  B2B  system  between  Infineon Technologies Malaysia and their suppliers will be discussed.  This paper will also give an overview  of  a  work  in  progress  model  known  as  “The    RosettaNet  Cost  Efficiency Model”  to measure the business benefits of implementing Rosettanet standards.
