LTV's Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is a
multifaceted method that ensures rapid and convenient
exchange of information between LTV Steel and our

The EDI Process
EDI is the electronic transmission of data between
computers. EDI allows us to serve you better by
supporting many transactions electronically, including:
- Advance shipping notices
- Invoices
- Material releases
- Shipping schedules
- Order status
- Purchase orders
- Automated fax service
- Outside-processor/warehouse-communication systems
EDI Benefits
- Cost Savings By reducing paperwork, EDI immediately saves you material and labor costs. By improving business efficiency, it gives you more time to focus on your business -- which translates into greater profitability for you.
- Time Savings EDI speeds the requirement to order process and in-production and post production information, which in turn enhances the ability to plan, schedule, and determine product cost.
- Improved Inventory Control EDI provides improved control in tracking both inventory and in-transit material.
- Improved Business Processes EDI permits the production of materials to be better coordinated, ensuring that they arrive where and when they are needed. The application of EDI to business processes helps guarantee that the correct parts and materials are selected, loaded, delivered, and invoiced. EDI also aids in distributing information such as product availability and order status.
