Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
LTV's Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is a multifaceted method of ensuring rapid and convenient exchange of information between LTV Steel and our customers. Developed in response to customer needs, EDI supports numerous transactions electronically, including:

  • Advance shipping notices
  • Invoices
  • Material releases
  • Shipping schedules
  • "One-stop" order status
  • Purchase orders
  • Automated fax service
  • Outside-processor/warehouse-communication systems

Customer benefits:
Our EDI program provides improved control in tracking both inventory and in-transit material. It reduces delays between the time an order is placed and the receipt of material, which in turn enhances the ability to plan, schedule, and determine product cost. 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.

To tap the potential of LTV's Electronic Data Interchange, contact an LTV Steel sales representative, or talk to us right now!

Minority Vendor Opportunities

It is the policy of the LTV Steel Company to take affirmative action designed to enable minority- and female-owned enterprises to participate fully as part of our supplier base. In establishing this policy, LTV Steel has made a commitment to the communities that it serves and the society in which it conducts its business. The use of minority- and female-owned business enterprises is a function of our normal purchasing procedures, just as equal employment opportunity is an integral part of normal personnel policy and procedures. No potential supplier will be precluded from consideration on the basis of race, color, religious creed, sex, age, national origin or disability. LTV Steel firmly believes that in our free enterprise system every attempt must be made to utilize fully all available resources.

LTV Steel has been recognized for our efforts with minority and female suppliers at the national, state and local levels. Some of these awards include:

Corporate Leadership Award
Cleveland Regional Minority Purchasing Council

Proclamation of Appreciation City of Cleveland

Corporate Award
U.S. Department of Commerce
Minority Business Development Agency
Washington, D.C.

Minority Enterprise Development Week
Corporate Firm of the Year
City of Cleveland

Corporation of the Year
Cleveland Regional Minority Purchasing Council

Ohio Assembly of Council
Corporate Hall of Fame Inductee, Barbara Wilmore for LTV Steel (Minority Business)

Our Minority- and Female-Owned Supplier Qualifications

All minority group members must be U.S. citizens and fall into the following categories: African-American, Hispanic-American, Native-American, Asian Pacific-American, and Asian Indian-American. The company must be owned (51% minimum) and controlled by a minority or female owner.

Every supplier must provide a valid certification document which is available from the following sources:

Regional Purchasing Council Affiliates
State/Federal Certification Offices

It is important that minority- and female-owned businesses have documented certification of their status rather than self certification.

LTV is a corporate member of the Cleveland Regional Minority Purchasing Council (CRMPC) and offers assistance in directing MBE/FBE owners to local certification offices in their areas. All requests for participation in our program should be directed to:

L.B. (Louise) Arnold,
