Ford Public Relations Photo
A system for ordering urgently needed replacement parts is in operation at more than 2,000 Ford dealerships throughout the country - and the program still is expanding.  Ford Parts and Service Division's Direct Order Entry System (DOES) features a "talking" computer terminal about the size of a portable typewriter.  Dealership personnel can enter orders directly into the division's Real-Time computer network, and get an on-the-spot verbal response about parts availability so that customer repairs can be scheduled more quickly and accurately.
