Logistics processes optimization in ERP systems

Supply chain planning is a difficult task for organizations and both crucial for their profits and for market pene-tration. Many processes belonging to supply chain planning and management belong to discrete optimisation problems. Although science provides many methods for discrete optimization, business cannot apply them. The main software supporting management in companies are ERP systems. ERP support decision-making at the strategic, tactical and operational level. Most ERP systems, even at the leading edge, do not have complex optimisation al-gorithms implemented to support supply chain decision-making. The paper presents the results of the InfoConsulting research and development project related to design and implementation of a solution that allows modelling and simulation of logistic processes, material area, in a company and the implementation and optimisation of material logistics processes, which will communicate with typical ERP systems using communication of mobile devices.
