This article presents the partial results of a major research project which was funded by the Computer Information Systems & Technology Group of the National Association of Purchasing Management. The project focused on the implementation of automatic identification technology (bar codes) in the purchasing environment. Twenty firms participated in the development of materials concerning the implementation of supplier bar codes. The firms were chosen based on their level of experience with EDI and bar code technology. The participating firms were all leaders in supplier bar code applications and represented a wide range of industries.
