Abstract

The benefits realised through increased computerisation of business logistics activities have been widely acclaimed and accepted. Evidence is presented to show through an extensive mail survey of logistics executives throughout the US that only modest progress has been made over the last decade in automating most logistics data. The sole company characteristic that correlated with greater computerisation was company size; all other company characteristics had limited effect.
