Summary:
The object of this thesis is to determine the role of information systems in logistics based on the efficient operation of the company and human resources. In the first chapter, we will define the concept of logistics and supply chain through definitions and their basic functions.

Then, in the third chapter, a reference is made to information systems, their meaning, types of information systems and their operating costs.
