Another article, written by Robert Beeby (sp), CEO at Frito-Lay appeared in
the Wall Street Journal dated 6/11/90.  He talks about their newly-implemented
DSS.  It is worth a reading too.

We used this article in our case-presentation of Frito-Lay's Information 
Systems, in one of our graduate courses in MIS.
