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.
