ABSTRACT
One entrepreneurial objective of logistics, operations, and supply chain management is to ensure short lead times (see Section 1.3.1). In doing so, a partial objective is to ensure short lead times in the data and control flow. Small companies can effectively and economically practice information logistics without having to resort to information technology (IT). Today, however, in companies above a certain size, the use of a computer is nearly self-evident. The information system is then called IT-supported.
