Henderson Air Manufactures Heating and Air Conditioning Units

Henderson Air manufactures heating and air conditioning units. Once a day, Henderson's computerized inventory system monitors the number of bolts and other fasteners the company needs to maintain production. If the amount of any type of fastener in inventory dips below preset standards, the computer automatically sends an order for more fasteners to Acme Fastener and Tool. This is an example of:

A) information flowing backward from the customer to the supplier.
B) information flowing forward from the supplier to the customer.
C) information flowing laterally between the customer and the supplier.
D) information flowing forward from the customer to the supplier.
