| Logistics Information System |
The Logistics Information System is made up of the following information systems:
The information systems that belong to LIS have a modular structure, yet have a variety of techniques in common which allow you to analyze data. This type of structure also allows the individual information systems to retain their special features.
The information systems in LIS can be used to plan, control, and monitor business events at different stages in the decision-making process. They are fleixble tools for collecting, aggregating and analyzing data from the operative applications. The level of detail in which information is displayed is freely definable. Informative key figures enable you to continually control target criteria and to react in time to exceptional situations. Data can be analyszed using either standard analyses or flexible analyses. Flexible planning, the Early Warning System, and the Logistics Information Library are also integrated in the information systems. Tools are available in Customizing which enable you to create a self-defined information system and tailor it to specific requirements.
