5703 - Supply Chain Information Systems

Content

1. Fundamental concepts of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management

2. Data interconnectivity among supply chain nodes, information flow across nodes, and business process simulation within the information system

3. Techniques for the analysis, design, and implementation of information systems in alignment with supply chain management requirements

4. Modeling and simulation of business processes in Supply Chain Management

5. Decision Support Systems (DSS) in Supply Chain Management

6. Decision Support Systems (DSS) based on Dynamic Systems and Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM)

7. Business Intelligence and analytics systems in Supply Chain Management

8. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems

9. Warehouse Management Systems (WMS): implementation, advantages, limitations, and case studies

10. Intelligent Supply Chain Management: Digital Supply Chains, Digital Twins, and blockchain technologies

11. Intelligent transportation systems: vehicle routing for distribution, telematics systems, autonomous vehicles and drones, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

12. Intelligent Warehouse Management: IoT and RFID technologies, automated storage systems, robotic systems, and Augmented Reality

13. Intelligent Supply Chain Management: applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The laboratory part of the course covers the following topics:

● Use of advanced information systems and technologies in Logistics (e.g. ERP, DSS, WMS, CRM, etc)

A combination of teaching and learning methods will be used, aiming at the active participation of the students and the practical application of the thematic units under examination; there will also be lectures using audiovisual media, discussions, and analyses of case studies on real business issues, experiential (group) activities, as well as projections of relevant videos. The students will also undertake an individual or group project.

Furthermore, articles, audiovisual lecture materials, web links/addresses, useful information, case studies and exercises for further practice are posted in digital form on the AUA Open e-Class platform.

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
