Abstract

While EDI represents the state of art in business forms exchange, bar code represents the state of the art in data collection.

By implementing EDI, Barcoding, POS, EOS systems, the Kang Kuo Company has embraced the supply chain management and Quick Response strategies to boost their competitiveness, productivity, and profitability.
