Scope and Range of Logistics Software.....
Logistics software was originally designed for modeling products and production processes, administering orders, and preparing accounts. These tasks were soon supplemented with planning functions for resource management (goods and capacity) . In contrast, the software still only plays a supporting role in planning & control since the condition for computerization mentioned in Section 8.1.1 is less likely to be fulfilled as the period under consideration moves further into the future. In such cases, the information is often imprecise or cannot be described in qualitative terms.
