...WEEK 7 - ASSIGNMENT Read Chapter 9 of the Text and Complete Chapter 9 – Discussion Question 1 (End of Chapter) 1.Supply chain management is less about managing the physical movement of goods and more about managing information. Discuss the implications of this statement. Information is at the heart of what every company does. This is especially true when several companies are coordinating logistics processes. These companies must share and coordinate their information, in order to turn raw materials into final products that are delivered to customers. Before a company can physically move its goods, it must have accurate information. Inaccurate information causes part shortages, underutilized plant capacity, excessive finished goods inventory, and excessive transportation costs. A supply chain management system enables its members to adjust sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution plans based on changing inventory levels, schedules, forecasts, and shipments. At Chapter 9 – Review Question 1 – All Bullets (End of Chapter) How do enterprise systems help businesses achieve operational excellence?

Relevant decisions range from how much material to order for making a product, to determining how much capacity is needed to provide a good level of service, to evaluating which technology will best meet a company's needs.

NICOLAOU Fall 2010 COURSE STRUCTURE In the modern world, the majority of accounting entries occur electronically. Accountants and auditors store information in databases, managed by enterprise systems that have a set of controls to ensure that transactions and record keeping happen as expected.

AISs help in this purpose. At the outset of this course, you will learn the basics of accounting information systems and business processes. Next, you will learn about database management systems, and the design of various database models. Finally, you will learn about how to use internal controls effectively for risk management, as well as the requirements for business reporting. After completing this course, you should not only have a clear idea of how accounting information systems work, but you should also be prepared to design and configure them to meet the record-keeping and risk management requirements of the organization.
