JC Penney's information system that allows its contract manufacturers to see what garments have been sold and need to be replaced is an example of a business using information systems for supplier intimacy, as it enables the suppliers to have a closer relationship with the company and better serve their needs. Additionally, the system also improves customer intimacy, as it allows JC Penney to quickly restock popular items and improve the overall shopping experience for its customers. The other options focus primarily on internal operational efficiencies and do not directly relate to customer or supplier intimacy.
