Abstract

In this article, a qualitative business mini-case study concerning issues surrounding warehouse management systems and supply chain management techniques are implemented at two very different Pittsburgh-area companies. The increasing importance of supply chains as it relates to selection and management of real-time data to improve its overall efficiency and proactiveness are briefly highlighted through the literature. This chapter showcases some of these techniques developing into integrated management tools. It is hoped as business firms enter into deeper manufacturer/supplier relationships. These relationships will change from being skeptical and hostile to being mutually cooperative and dependent on one another.
