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、更廉价。在过去的25年来计算机内存及处理器尺寸的减少是巨大的。硬件性能戏剧性的提高也伴之以硬件上同样具有戏剧性的成本降低。 One of the key benefits of these hardware trends is that computing power can now be implemented in parts of the supply chain that previously were never considered, either because of cost constraints, or space constraints, or both; the use of hand-held barcode scanners is a good example. 这些硬件趋势的关键益处之一是计算能力现在可以在供应链的一些部分中得以实施，这在以前是难以想像的，其原因要么是出于成本限制，要么是出于空间限制，要么是二者皆有。手持式条型码扫读器就是一个好例子。 These have contributed to the growth in the use of labeling and automatic identification of products and location
