摘要
We describe a comprehensive approach that helps to assess the value of various courses of action that can be taken in implementing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The approach consists of two components. The first relies on Activity-Based Costing and quantifies the costs and benefits that are to be expected in the information processes when EDI is being used. The second uses discrete-event computer simulation to quantify the costs and benefits to be expected in the physical logistic processes. The combination of the two results in an overall costs/benefits analysis for a diverse set of EDI scenarios. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
