Analysis of Information Systems in the Aspect of Managing Logistic Processes of Supply Chain

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate information systems designed to support the management of logistic processes in the enterprises under analysis and their supply chains. It presents theoretical aspects of information systems used in the management of logistic processes. It describes research methodology and characterizes the population under examination. The paper also presents results of a survey of information systems used in the process of managing logistic processes in the enterprises analyzed and their supply chains. The paper presents current trends in the development of integrated information systems, concentrating on an effective coordination of partners in logistic supply chains through integration of information in IT systems of the different participants of supply chains. Continuously increasing market requirements force enterprises to react more quickly to changes in demand. Therefore the integration of information flow between the different partners of the logistic supply chain has to be accurate, both with reference to the content and time of receiving information.
