Information Infrastructure >> Information is the lifeblood of business. This fundamental premise underscores the critical
importance of getting timely, meaningful information into the hands of management so sound decisions can be made. In
August 2001, we took a major step forward in this area as we wrapped up a six-year, 700 billion won project to implement a
global ERP system as the backbone of our e-business infrastructure. Connecting us with our 56 production and sales subsidiaries
outside of Korea, our global SAP R/3 system gives us access to real-time information on production, sales, logistics, and
inventory, enabling us to manage our resources on a truly worldwide basis, a capability that few other firms have. It is also a
solid, extensible platform for essential add-on solutions addressing advanced planning and scheduling, partner collaboration,
and supplier and customer relationship management that we will implement in 2001-2002 as we continue to build and opti-
mize a global e-business platform that will maximize value created at every stage of the supply chain.
