5703 - Supply Chain Information Systems

Content

  • Basic concepts of information systems and supply chain
  • Data interconnections between supply chain nodes, information flow between nodes and simulation of business processes in the information system
  • Techniques for analyzing, designing and implementing information systems in the context of supply chain management requirements
  • Resource Planning Systems (MRP, MRPII, JIT). Distribution Requirements Planning Systems (DRP). Advanced Planning Systems (APS).
  • Enterprise Resource Management Systems (ERP): Implementation, advantages, disadvantages, greek/international ERPs. Main subsystems
  • Customer Relationship Management Systems (CRM). Partner Relationship Management Systems (PRM)
  • Warehouse Management Systems (WMS): Implementation, advantages, disadvantages, greek/international WMS

    Learning results

    The aim of the course is: 

    • to help students to become familiarized with concepts from the two fields: logistics and information systems and understand their interaction 
    • to help students to understand the utilization of advanced technologies and information systems for supply chain management
    • to help students to acquire the skills of using information systems to manage the supply chain

    Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

    • describe the type of data coming from each supply chain node, their interconnections, the flow of information between the nodes, the simulation of business processes in an information system
    • implement techniques for the analysis, design and implementation of information systems
    • explain the operation of the main information systems used in supply chain management
    • explain the operation of advanced technologies and advanced information systems used in supply chain management
    • use information systems to manage the supply chain
