Abstract: Stelco consists of a series of companies controlled and owned by the holding company Stelco Inc. We are suppliers of basically all types of steel product: the basic cold-rolled product for the car industry, bar products, wire, fasteners, and pipe products. In Canada, we have operations in the provinces of Quebec, Alberta, and Ontario, with most of our operations in the Toronto Hamilton vicinity employing 17,000 people. Our steelmaking capacity is approximately 5 million tons, mostly cast, with the majority produced at our Hilton Works facility. Sales in 1987 were 2.5 biUion dollars, and purchases by our department to support the primary and finishing operations totalled 900 million dollars, excluding coal and ore. Purchasing is headquartered in Hamilton, with small Purchasing groups in Alberta and Quebec. Our purchasing activities therefore, work in a semi-centralized environment but our purchasing system is on-line, corporate-wide, allowing us to deal with 5000 suppliers. As you can deduct, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) held a great opportunity for us, although when we started we really didnt understand what it was. First, to get into EDI you need an automated purchasing system. We have one, as I mentioned earlier it is called PROMISS. It covers all of our activities from requisitioning through payment, including inventories, purchasing, invoice validation, receiving, and accounts payable.
