Explain the key challenges of CPFR implementation

The key challenges are the difficulty of making internal changes, total implementation cost, and trust. Resistance to change should be addressed by top management. A project will be more likely to succeed if top management commits time and resources to the project. It is important that companies educate their employees on the benefits of the process changes. Companies need to budget for the cost of using this technique as demands for employee time and resources will be a factor. Trust is challenge because many retailers are reluctant to share the type of proprietary information required by CPFR.
