Used by thousands of companies around the world, available in thirty-five languages. Students of the College of Logistics are already working with the new iScala system. The program will help them become professional logisticians.
The huge number of foreign languages in which WSL students can learn is, of course, not the only advantage of the new software. Since the current academic year, the College of Logistics has been using the iScala system for educational purposes. This system is one of the most functionally advanced MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning) class systems. It is used for managing production, distribution, and costs. Thanks to it, many concepts that students learn about in lectures gain a practical dimension. Issues are discussed within a professional system that reflects the real environment of an enterprise.
Paweł Fajfer from the Department of Logistics Information and Informatics at WSL sees tangible benefits for future graduates:
– Our students will not only learn the vast functionality of iScala, but above all, they will gain the foundations for using a system of this class. This will be a major asset during job interviews with future employers. – he assesses.
There are over eighty virtual companies in the database. The system has tools for exchanging data between them via the Internet. Students divided into groups develop and implement all the stages needed to handle the fulfillment of a sales order. It is mainly these processes that they will encounter during their future professional work. Thus, WSL graduates learn key concepts that constitute the daily life of manufacturing enterprises while still studying. The iScala program will prepare them not only to work with this system but also to operate any other system that logisticians around the world work with on a daily basis.
The College of Logistics is one of only a few universities in Poland that have implemented this modern system. Worldwide, over 4,000 companies use iScala, and in Poland, nearly 250 (including Electrolux, Scania, and Kotlin).
