Received: 16 August 2018 Abstract Accepted: 4 December 2018 In the present dynamic environment, manufacture are required to reduce product development cycle time and enhance product quality. To meet such challenges many business are developing closer relationships with their business partner through application of interorganisational system. Electronic data interchange (EDI) providing a structured form of communication and has become very popular vehicle for electronic communication. Since the EDI concept was popularised in 1990, there is a growing recognition by practitioners and academics. The aim of this study is to perform an analysis of EDI research, give the current discussion regarding the trends and note the suggestions for the future directions of EDI research in the manufacture. In this paper, we provide a wide coverage of excessively citations on EDI from 1990 to 2017 from good references in this area. The papers are classified into EDI implementation strategy, EDI adopti...
A great deal of controversy exists about the impact of Information technology on the global performance within the supply chain. Many theoretical explanations could be advanced to cover this issue. The present paper discusses this problematic and proposes that the climate of the interorganizational relationships could moderate the advantages of Interorganizational Information systems within the Supply Chain. The propositions of the study are tested in the automotive components supply chain in the Tunisian context. The methodology adopted is the multi-case study approach within four companies. Results confirm the moderation effect of the climate of IORs on the success of IOS. More precisely, the attributes; interorganizational dependence and interorganizational commitment presented remarkable effects on the performance of the automotive components supply chain. Moreover, the findings generated four configurations based on the dimensions of IOS impact and IORs climate.

The pace of change in technology has accelerated rapidly in the past decade providing various opportunities to companies to improve their efficiency and competitiveness. One of the useful and cost effective technological innovation is electronic data interchange (EDI). EDI has being increasingly used in many industries, as companies realized the potential benefits and competitive advantages of adopting electronic data exchange in their operations. EDI is strategically important, because good information systems are critical to the survival of many organizations. This paper presents an application of EDI in a SME in automotive industry in Turkey. With this study, our aim is to show the benefits of using EDI applications, explain how companies easily implement EDI in their system and what the advantages of these applications are.
The role of ICT in the strategic integration of the automotive supply-chain
International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management, 2002
An analysis of the recent evolution of the automotive supply chain shows that an extraordinary reorganisation in the whole industry structure has begun. The most relevant goal of this reorganisation is the integration of all the automotive chain: from the part-supply flow to the OEM for the final assembly, to car delivery. It is a wide re-engineering project based on a deep integration of all the activities of the automotive chain, made possible by the new potentialities offered by Information & Communication Technology (ICT). Nonetheless, ICT alone cannot solve problems arising from organisational inadequacy and from defective customer-supplier relations. This paper investigates these issues and presents the main results of an empirical research.
EDI usage in the motor carrier industry
International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management, 1995
Computer to computer data exchange by companies in a supply chain have been wellrecognized as an effective means of reducing cost and decreasing paperwork errors. In many cases, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers have become electronically linked to better manage inventory, ordering, and billing information. However, supply chains, by definition, also include common carriers that move goods between supply chain partners but may not have a long-term relationship with either the shipper or his customers. This could be the missing or weak link in an otherwise effective supply chain. The purpose of this paper is to examine the state-of-the-art of EDI in the motor carrier industry to identify possible trends. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems have been used by shippers and carriers since the late 1970s. This article reports on findings of a recent survey of large domestic motor carriers regarding their use of EDI and emerging Internet technologies to provide vital information links with their supply chain partners.
A Case Study of Internet EDI in the Retailing Supply Chain
For many large retail companies with many suppliers, the utopian vision of total paperless trading offered by traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), with its attendant efficiencies, has not been realized. Many small, but operationally important suppliers, lack enthusiasm for traditional EDI because it is expensive, complicated and they stand to gain little from it. This non-compliance prevents the large organization from realizing some of the most significant tactical benefits of EDI such as advanced supply chain reforms. This paper presents a case study of a large retail organization which is approaching this problem by integrating Internet based EDI with its existing traditional EDI systems using an "intelligent gateway" concept. This will allow them to leverage their considerable existing EDI investment by providing a relatively low cost data display and entry system tailored to the needs of small suppliers. In this way, greater benefits should accrue from existing investment as 100% EDI compliance eliminates duplication, but more importantly, enables advanced supply chain reforms such as "cross docking". We argue that this way of using the newly available Internet EDI products may have the greatest economic impact on the retailing supply chain at least in the near future.
