INTRODUCTION
We can define it as : An information system is a system for collection, adaptation, storage, transfer and presentation of information , for the users of the information system, in an effective way. The information system can be totally or party computerized. Logistics is the process of strategically managing.
In the Logistics Information System, data can be analyzed either as a standard analysis or as a flexible analysis.
THE LOGISTICS INFORMATION SYSTEM (LIS) IS MADE UP OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SYSTEMS:
Sales Information System Purchasing Information System Inventory Controlling Shop Floor Information System Plant Maintenance Information System Quality Management Information System Retail Information System (RIS) Transport Information System (TIS)
PLANNING / FORECASTING
INVENTORY CONTROLLING
The overseeing and controlling of the ordering, storage and use of components that a company will use in the production of the items it will sell as well as the overseeing and controlling of quantities of finished products for sale. A business's inventory is one of its major assets and represents an investment that is tied up until the item is sold or used in the production of an item that is sold. It also costs money to store, track and insure inventory. Inventories that are mismanaged can create significant financial problems for a business, whether the mismanagement results in an inventory glut or an inventory shortage
The Plant Maintenance Information System (PMIS) is a subset of the Logistics Information System (LIS) . It allows some flexibility in the updating of information as well as the ability to report on data trends gathered over time .Rather than providing list editing-type reports that allow a view of specific work orders or pieces of equipment
You can use the work center standard analysis to evaluate data from the area of work centers. The information structure S024 provides the data basis.
Operation
In the standard analysis operation you can evaluate the data from the operation. The data basis is provided by data updated to information structure S022.
Material
The material standard analysis allows you to evaluate the data for material. The data basis is formed by data that is updated to information structure S023.
Production Order
In this analysis you can evaluate the data for production orders. The data basis is the data updated to information structure S021
Product Costs
Data from production orders, run schedule headers and process orders can be evaluated in the product cost analysis. Both planned and actual costs for production and process orders are updated to product costs. The planned costs are updated at the exact time of release, the actual costs are updated at the point of completion confirmations and goods issues. The data basis of this analysis is provided by data that is updated to information structure S027.
PLANNING/FORECASTING
As well as allowing you to analyze actual data, the information systems in Logistics allow you to create planning data. This planning data can be used later on in the standard analyses in planned/actual comparisons. The planning function in the information systems is based on the standard information structures. That is, it is possible to plan the information structures that are available in the standard system, as well as self-defined info structures.
