To this ends, the adoption of enabling technologies such as a Logistics Information System (US). often in the form of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Value Added Network (VAN) or the internet are desirable so that different parties in the supply chain can gain access to the needed information for decision making, thereby meeting the market requirements responsively.
