Dersin Tanımı

Modern logistics systems and processes are almost unimaginable without adequate information support. A huge amount of information which has to be processed daily, the need for quality management of resources and quick decision-making cannot be realized without work environment based on information technology. It supports the decision-
making bodies and optimizes the management of logistic support. The design of a high-performance logistics network (supply chain) depends decisively on the information available to the different parties. The available information technology, together with the incentives for the sharing of information within and across firm boundaries, is of key importance for the analysis and optimization of supply chains.
This course provides an overview of both traditional and recent technologies as possibilities and economic drivers for (or against) the successful application of information technology in logistics networks.
