Presentasi pada SEMASSI 2011
Seminar Nasional Supply Chain dan Sistem Informasi
“Integrated Logistics and Information System for Developing Supply
Chain Management in Logistics Industries”
Politeknik Pos Indonesia, Bandung, 12 Nopember 2011

2. Introduction
• The shift in the economy from the industrial era to the information age has
profound implications for the management of the modern enterprise.
• Issues of ASEAN Connectivity in physical, people, and institutional connections.
• Supply Chain Management is a relatively new discipline within the firm and
originally dealt with the transportation and storage of goods, an advanced supply
chain program coordinates activities across management functions.
• In addition to transportation and distribution, other areas influenced by logistics
include customer service and quality management, inventory management,
location, strategic planning, procurement, and logistics information systems.
• The intent of this presentation is to introduce the participants to the important
concepts of Logistics Information Systems.
• In addition, a special attention is given to how information technologies will
transform the business landscape on logistics and supply chains.

3. Questions
• What if Logistics united with Information
Systems?
– A theoretical framework is developed to specify
the relationships between L and IS for logistics
innovation.
• What are the challenges posed by Logistics
Information Systems?
– LSI as a subject and a logistics education

6. Approach
• What is Logistics?
• What is Information Systems?
• What is Logistics Information Systems =
Uniting L and IS?

7. Logistics
• Logistik – proses perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan
pengendalian aliran yang efisien dan efektif dari
barang atau jasa dan informasi terkait mulai dari
titik asal sampai titik penggunaan untuk
memenuhi keperluan pelanggan (Reference:
Council of Logistics Management)
• Ciri-ciri Logistik:
– Aliran: barang dan informasi (energi, orang, uang, dll.)
– Unsur: gudang, transportasi, dan persediaan
– Inti: menambah kegunaan waktu dan tempat

8. Logistics Discipline
• Logistics is the field of study to focus on the
design, control, and implementation of the
efficient flow and storage of goods and services
and other related information from the point of
origin to the point of final consumption with an
aim to satisfy the requirements of its existing and
prospective customers.
• The management of Logistics involves the
integration of information, transportation,
inventory, warehousing, material handling, and
packaging, and often security.

15. Information Systems Discipline
• Information Systems is an applied discipline that
studies the processes of the creation, operation,
and social contexts and consequences of systems
that manipulate information.
• The creation and operation of such systems
requires the sub-processes of systems analysis,
design, development and management which are
bracketed at the beginning by social context and
at completion by social consequences.

16. Information and Supply Chain
Management
• What is the role of Information Systems and
Information Technology in supply chains?
• Information technology (IT) is an important
enabler of effective supply chain management
(Simchi-Levi et al., 2008):
– IT has potential to enhance the capabilities of a firm
for sustained innovation of its business processes.
• The purpose of Information Systems (IS) is to
gather, categorize, store and spread all
information that is needed to make the
organization both grow and prosper.
Note: Enabler is to make possible, or easy, sanction, to make one able to do something. 16

18. Logistics Information Systems
• Logistics is the field of study to focus on the
design and implementation of the efficient flow
and storage of goods from the point of origin to
consumption.
• Information System is the field of study to deal
with problems against the design, development,
implementation, application of information
system.
• Logistics Information Systems (LIS) is a new
discipline that unifies Logistics and Information
Systems.

19. Key Building Blocks of LIS
• Logistics Information Portal: Transactional and
Analytical LIS
• Logistics Computing and Simulation
• Decision Support System
• Database and Data Mining
• E-Logistics and E-Commerce
• Logistics Process Management
• IT and Software: CRM, ERP, CRM, ERP, RFID, TMS, and
WMS.
• LIS Applications: port, retail, energy, humanitarian,
agriculture, military, trade, manufacturing

22. Manifestation of LIS:
A New Competence as a course
• LIS is designed to provide professionals working
within the logistics and operations management
area with the skills to manage the flow of
materials and information within and between
organizations and their business environment.
• It incorporates both practical and theoretical
aspects of logistics information systems to assist
managers in increasing business efficiency.
22

23. Skills Development
• Interpersonal skills: Promoting active discussion and exchange of ideas in
class will help participants develop strong skills in this area
• Communication skills: Having a point and being able to get it across in a
way that is clear, crisp and concise by promoting students’ in class
presentations.
• Ability to be a continuous learner and trainer of others: Knowing how to
learn on an ongoing basis, how and where to gather the right information
(library and online search).
• Global Awareness: Developing knowledge of some LIS used around the
world.
• Quantitative skills: Understanding how to use information systems in SCM.
• Ability to manage information technology tools: Using software, internet,
attached files, Power Point, E - mail, etc.
• Ethical Awareness: Understanding ethical responsibilities in using Logistics
software

24. Manifestation of LIS:
A Logistics Education
• Georgia Southern University (Information Systems,
Logistics Information Systems)
– The LIS emphasis focuses on the use of information
technology as a critical enabler of the supply chain
networks that businesses use to acquire, produce, and
deliver goods and services all over the world.
– Students pursuing this emphasis will be prepared to help
companies design information systems that integrate
business processes across the supply chain.
– Potential employers include large retail distribution
centers, wholesalers, logistics firms (e.g. UPS, FedEx, DHL),
railroads, trucking and shipping companies, and a host of
other companies who are partners in supply chains.

25. Research Areas of LIS
• DSS (Decision Support System), Wide-area-information sharing system, SIS
(Strategic Information System)
• Analysis of LIS by the examples of Geographical Information System (GIS)
• Organizational control of human activity and organizational learning in LIS
• Project Management Methodology for LIS development
• Analysis, design, evaluation for user oriented LIS: System analysis, design,
and evaluation at the viewpoint of LIS
• Qualitative Research in LIS
• Qualitative failure analysis of LIS projects at the viewpoint of each
stakeholder
• Value model of LIS
• Logistics optimization based on LIS
• LIS for SMEs

29. Concluding Remarks
• Integrating Logistics and Information Systems results in
“Logistics Information Systems” that can be manifested in:
– a new course and
– a branch of logistics education.
• As a course, LIS is designed to provide professionals
working within the logistics and operations management
area with the skills to manage the flow of materials and
information within and between organizations and their
business environment.
• As a branch of logistics education, LIS focuses on the use of
information technology as a critical enabler of the supply
chain networks that businesses use to acquire, produce,
and deliver goods and services all over the world.
