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

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.

Globalization And Knowledge Management In Projects

Abstract Knowledge management is a field of management dealing with the use of knowledge, methods, and tools to effectively coordinate complex and unique projects. In accordance with this definition, project knowledge can be treated as a useful resource of information that allows projects to be implemented in compliance with its objectives: time, costs, and quality of results. Knowledge in the activity of an organization, including in the implementation of projects, has for many years been an area of interest to researchers, who confirmed its key importance for building permanent competitive advantages of companies and enterprises. In project management, this issue takes on a new character, as it is transferred to the field of dynamic, time restricted, temporary, and team-implemented projects. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a survey regarding the use of practices of knowledge management in projects in international organizations and to show that the concept of knowledge management in projects is a tool conducive to spreading the process of globalization.
