This document summarizes the development of supply chain management and IT integration at Sysco Corporation, a US food distribution company. It discusses Sysco's partnerships with technology companies in the late 1990s and 2000s to develop systems like ChefEx and RFID technology. ChefEx allows communication between Sysco and customers to streamline ordering, while RFID monitors food quality, environmental controls, and provides real-time tracking of food items for quality assurance and safety.
