Abstract

Logistics is a management function in charge of physical flows inside and among companies. To succeed in its mission, it has to build information and communication systems that help to design networks, track freight and maintain organizations' efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to show that those logistics information and communication systems (LICS) are contributing towards producing organization meanings in companies. To ensure this contribution LICS must be considered as complex systems and designed as "knowledge-based systems" building up and enriching collective knowledge concerning physical flows management. Therefore, the realization of LICS demands a traverse development approach, a global view of circulation and a broad management culture. IT leads actually to imaging new methodologies that, according to the author, should help to imagine new collective way of managing physical flows and would succeed in developing global management models producing organization meanings in companies.
