Research And Design Of The Agile Supply Chain Information Sharing Platform In Steel Industry Based On SOA And Web Service

Competition in the market today is global competition, the core of the market competition evolutes from competition among enterprises gradually to the competition between the supply chains, to improve the functioning efficiency of the whole supply chain, enterprises in supply chain should achieve a high degree of data and information sharing, interaction and information services sharing. Therefore, it is highly needed to integrate different types of operating systems, application software, system software, and application basic infrastructure through computer technology, information technology and management techniques, so as to establish agile supply chain management system. Especially for the production and distribution-based steel industry, the implementation of supply chain business processes is complex and often involves many heterogeneous systems around.The concept of agile supply chain, that is through an integrated computer technology, information technology and management technology to build agile supply chain management system to speed up the supply chain, all the velocity and reduce supply chain partners in the production and distribution costs.As integration applications of SOA and Web Service technology in supply chain become more and more concerned, research on how to use SOA to design the steel industry supply chain information systems, how to encapsulate business functions to build a service unit, other companies how to find and call these services in order to achieve supply chain information integration between enterprises, which not only has theoretical significance but also has high practical value.In this paper, analysis and research on the data from survey in the steel business processes are made firstly. To enhance the cooperative efficiency of partner enterprises, some of the features need to be reconstructed, packaged, and also the external interface need to be provided, so Secondly, the steel industry supply chain node relationship model is proposed, and also list the service providers and service callers. According to the difficulty in integration of inter-enterprise heterogeneous information platform, we use the Web Service technology as a solution; Finally, take building supply chain information platform for supply chain node dealers and manufacturers as an example, on the platform of Myeclipse, Web Service interfaces involved in system integration for distributors and manufacturer, key technologies to create service provider Web Service, and a Web Service client proxy are implemented.Test data validates that the use of SOA to achieve inter-enterprise supply chain information integration has advantages and feasibility.
