The Design And Implementation Of Integrated Distribution And Transportation Management System

As the port enterprises expanding production scale and cargo throughput rose, the contradiction between the speed of development and the poor management is becoming an important factor. With computer technology and the ever-changing communications technology, information technology has played an irreplaceable role in the faces of resolving the problem of management and allocating resources in decision-making.Management information system development gap in the demand ambiguous functional requirements in many port enterprises, and their system goals are not clear; isolated development of applications builds information isolated islands, and it's nearly impossible to share data and information between applications; business processes should be improved, business processes which has been converted to a computer application led to more duplication of work, efficiency and effectiveness, resulting in the greater of system development scope, the greater of the workload of the business man; shorts of information technology professional human resources, lack of development capacity, which are impeding the advancement of port informatization.Based on the information construction of port enterprises, the paper takes the design and implement of distribution and transportation management system for instance, describes the point that we must face to the changes and facilitate expansion of applications and procedures in future, raises the method of achieving effective integration of information and resource sharing. The Papers contains the following sections:1. According to the progress of the information construction of TIANJIN port NO.1 stevedoring company, the paper discusses the background and significance of integrated management system.2. Introduction of the thoughts by which integrated distribution and transportation management system is built and the scale of the system.3. Introduction of model tools and methods used.4. Introduction of the design process, steps and methods of the system.5. The effects of applying integrated distribution and transportation management system.
