& Materials Management in the Graphic

inventory issue. GCA's EDI Committee has
developed a variety of Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI) transactions that enable both printers
and paper manufacturers to better manage
the paper supply chain. Join moderator member
of GCA's EDI Committee to learn what technology
is available for paper supply management
and to hear how companies are putting EDI
to work.
