1. Logistics and Systems Rabby Q. Lavilles

2. Supply chain is a system of organizations, people, technology, activities, information and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer.

3. The SCOR Supply-Chain Operations Reference model, developed by the Supply Chain Council, measures total supply chain performance. It is a process reference model for supply-chain management, spanning from the supplier's supplier to the customer's customer

5. Logistics is an umbrella term for all the activities that ensure that materials and products are at the right place, at the right time and in the right quantity. It can be defined as the planning, organization and control of the flow of materials from acquisition of the raw materials to end consumption.

6. Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and occasionally security. purpose of production logistics is to ensure that each machine and workstation is being fed with the right product in the right quantity and quality at the right time.

7. Application software is computer software designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks. There are many types of application software:

8. Office Application suite Consists of multiple applications bundled together. They usually have related functions, features and user interfaces, and may be able to interact with each other, e.g. open each other's files. Business applications often come in suites, e.g. Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org, and iWork, which bundle together a word processor, a spreadsheet, etc.; but suites exist for other purposes, e.g. graphics or music.

9. Enterprise software Addresses the needs of organization processes and data flow, often in a large distributed environment. (Examples include financial systems, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and supply-chain management software). Note that Departmental Software is a sub-type of Enterprise Software with a focus on smaller organizations or groups within a large organization. (Examples include Travel Expense Management, and IT Helpdesk)

10. Enterprise infrastructure software provides common capabilities needed to support enterprise software systems. (Examples include databases, email servers, and systems for managing networks and security.)

11. Information worker software Addresses the needs of individuals to create and manage information, often for individual projects within a department, in contrast to enterprise management. Examples include time management, resource management, documentation tools, analytical, and collaborative. Word processors, spreadsheets, email and blog clients, personal information system, and individual media editors may aid in multiple information worker tasks.

12. Content access software Software used primarily to access content without editing, but may include software that allows for content editing. Such software addresses the needs of individuals and groups to consume digital entertainment and published digital content. (Examples include Media Players, Web Browsers, Help browsers, and Games)

13. Educational software is related to content access software, but has the content and/or features adapted for use in by educators or students. For example, it may deliver evaluations (tests), track progress through material, or include collaborative capabilities.

14. Simulation software Are computer software for simulation of physical or abstract systems for either research, training or entertainment purposes.

15. Media development software Addresses the needs of individuals who generate print and electronic media for others to consume, most often in a commercial or educational setting. This includes Graphic Art software, Desktop Publishing software, Multimedia Development software, HTML editors, Digital Animation editors, Digital Audio and Video composition, and many others.

16. Mobile applications Run on hand-held devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and enterprise digital assistants : see mobile application development.

17. Product engineering software Is used in developing hardware and software products. This includes computer aided design (CAD), computer aided engineering (CAE), computer language editing and compiling tools, Integrated Development Environments, and Application Programmer Interfaces.
