This reduces the need to hold stocks ‘just in case’ of stockouts. Information replaces stocks, which means that stock holding costs are minimized. EDI使得供应商和客户能够看到对方的运作，这就减少了持有库存来应对“万一”缺货的必要。信息取代了库存，这就意味着库存持有成本最小化。 The identification of accurate and timely data leads to lower costs. Additionally better performance is possible because of greater speed and certainty of decision making. Improved and accurate information replaces guesswork. Guesswork represents delays, more costs, more inventory cover, and poor customer service. 这种准确而及时的信息识别导致了成本的降低。再者，因为速度的提高和决策的确定性，也就可能带来更好的绩效。得以改进的和准确的信息取代了猜测。猜测意味着延迟、成本的增加、库存覆盖范围的扩大以及客户服务的降低。 Where there is need to improve service and to reduce costs, the use of EDI represents a powerful approach to improving supply chain performance. 在有必要提高服务以及降低成本的地方，EDI的应用代表着提高供应链绩效的一种强有力的方法。 Hardware 硬件 There are two main trends in computer hardware which have had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on the use of IT in logistics. 计算机硬件方面有两个主要趋势已经并将继续对IT应用于物流方面产生重大的影响。 One of the key underlying trends in computer hardware technology may be summed up in three words: smaller, faster and cheaper. The reductions in computer memory and processor size over the last 25 years have been dramatic. These dramatic improvements in hardware performance have been matched by equally dramatic reductions in hardware costs. 计算机硬件技术的一个关键的根本趋势可以用三个词来总结：更小、更快、
