Agile Logistics System Modeling, Control And Operational Research

The competition in the 21^st not only exists in enterprises, but also means more competition among supply chains, the competition in supply chains of enterprises certainly produces the competition among supply chain logistics of enterprises, and agile logistics will be the competition topic in the 21^st. Agile logistics has been studied insufficient from the current references, as a matter of fact, the enterprises are also longing for it and hoping to get some effectively and professionally theoretic guidance. So the dissertation chose agile logistics as a subject to study, and to analyze and discuss from the level of the modeling and integrative control and operation of agile logistics system.The dissertation is consisted of introduction,related research theories overview, modeling research of agile logistics system based on multi-agent,integrative control research of agile logistics based on semi-hierarchical control mechanisim operation research of agile logistics based on electronic commerce platform and summary and expectation.In chapter 1, evolvement process of logistics management theory and insufficient research on agile logistics in China and abroad was summarized, and introduced the theoretical and practical background for the dissertation.In chapter 2, the history of study on the operation modes of logistics and agility theory,multi-agent theory and logistics management research based on multi-agent,hierarchical control theory and logistics management research based on hierarchical control mechanism,data warehouse technology and knowledge management technology were reviewed. It has been found that agile logistics is a very new research area to study.In chapter 3, the modeling of agile logistics system based on multi-agile was studied. From the aspect of cost-benefit analysis, the chapter discussed the rational orientation about applicable area in practice for multi-agile system. According to some facts of agent technology applied to existing logistics systems and its successful applications as a support, the chapter analyzed that modern logistics system should import multi-agent system, and studied how to construct agile logistics management system based on multi-agent system according to the designing idea of agile management. For the example of supply chain strategic and cooperative partners selection and based on multi-agent modeling idea, the chapter discussed in detail the modeling research of agile logistics strategic and cooperative partners selection process based on multi-agent. Based on the applied background of great science and technology key project "the development and research of modern logistics management system ", the chapter used the modeling method to do applied research for the whole design of the project.In chapter 4, integrative control of agile logistics based on semi-hierarchical control mechanism was studied. The chapter summarized three types of "agile rules" of logistics scheduling based on the practical experiences of logistics scheduling practical operators and optimization application researchers, by constructing corresponding basic database and designing distribution demand multi-dimension variable tables and decision support database to support fast optimizing operation, according to agile priority rules, proposed the general work logic of agile scheduling. By using the semi-hierarchical control idea, the chapter constructed the scheduling optimization model for assured delivery time and paths, proposed a solving algorithm based on data driving and model driving, and tested its validity. At last, the chapter took the sub-subject "scheduling optimization DSS" of the project "the development and research of modern logistics management system" for example, used the control method proposed by the chapter to do applied research and obtained a successful effect.In chapter 5, agile logistics operation based on electronic commerce platform was studied. Based on the whole structure of electronic commerce platform, the agile logistics operation process based on the electronic commerce platform was also studied. The chapter proposed the agile logistics operation process which included three processes based on electronic commerce platform.At last, the chapter took the great science and technology key project "the applied research of international cocoon and silk electronic commerce platform based on ebXML and modern logistics system and its demonstration application" based on the background of Jiaxing cocoon and silk deal market in Zhejiang province, constructed electronic commerce platform and modern logistics system based on knowledge management, put the emphasis to study two types agile scheduling ways based on electronic commerce platform.In chapter 6, we concluded our study and pointed out some further research.
