Abstract

An integrated paradigm of using multiple software programs inlogistics education is proposed as an effective problemsolving tool inaddition to computer programming and spreadsheet modelling. Presents theessentials of logistics systems management and how each software programcan be used individually and jointly to address logistics issues indetail. In the integrated paradigm, a Lotus 123 spreadsheet program isused as an integrator which works together with other software tofacilitate student learning and to aid better decision making process.Inclass surveys show that the proposed approach is both effective andefficient in terms of getting the right results in less time. Theapproach is also realistic because the mixed mainframe and microcomputeroperating environment and multiple software programs are being used bythe business community.
