Abstract: This paper presents a case study conducted in a semiconductor manufacturing company concerning information systems planning in the context of reengineering business models for e-logistics. A framework based on business process reengineering (BPR) is described. To enhance BPR efforts, the benchmarking technique is introduced as an analysis tool for redesigning business models. The framework emphasises the reengineering of business models for e-logistics through value chain mapping and analysis. It also takes into account the unique possibilities of legacy information systems architectures, thus further advancing the value of a company|s past investment in information technology.

Keywords: electronic commerce; e-commerce; logistics; business process reengineering; information systems.
