Abstract: Learning Objectives For the realization of cross-company supply chains, the informational linking of departments within the company and of cooperating companies is an important means. Furthermore, the internal logistics processes must be supported by adequate information and communications systems. There are strong relationships amongst these systems and the logistics functions. The goal of this chapter is to introduce the many areas of application for identification, information and communications systems, and their potential use in logistics systems. Additionally, the respective effects on logistical performance, quality, and costs will be explained.
