简介:
主要内容：The use of electronic data interchange (EDI) and related coordination activities among supply chain members can improve supply chain performance. This study examines the relationship between a number of variables relating to EDI usage and supply chain coordination activities and several performance measures such as efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. Through a survey of supply chains in the food industry, we are able to develop models that identify the most important factors relating to EDI and successful supply chain management. 演讲人简历：Professor Scudder holds bachelors and masters degrees in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University and a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from Stanford University.
