The subject of information systems in logistics seeks to introduce the student to the different concepts, technologies and procedures used by the industry, for the optimal management of the supply chain in all its sections. At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the necessary notions that will allow him to identify the characteristics of the data and information, the way to capture-format, use and store them and finally, how the information is transmitted and exchanged by to facilitate all the logistical processes that at present employs the industry, the productive systems, the commerce and the transport.
