Abstract

This report presented the case of United Heavy Machineries (UHI), a leader in the steel industry in South Africa. It has provided insights into the current steel-making process and its impacts on the environment. Furthermore, it has explicitly delved into the details of the company structure and supply chain along with the issues associated with them. It has proposed a plan for the integration of Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology (HYBRIT) in UHI. HYBRIT uses hydrogen to make sponge iron from iron ores and make steel from them. The whole process uses green energy and does not produce carbon dioxide. Instead, it produces water as a by-product. This report has also presented the stakeholders’ communication strategy and the change management strategy that will be implemented within the plan.
