Research Of Information Center System For Modern Logistics Management

With the establishment of market economy system in China, the speeding process of world economic integration and the fast development of information technology, logistics industry, as a sunrise industry in national economy, will become an important industry and a new economic grow in China in this century. So the development of logistics industry has been valued by governments. This thesis analyzes the present situation of logistics management development. According to the conditions of interior information management foundation of modern logistics in China, separated information flow, the scarcity of logistics information integrated platform, how to establish an information center system for modern logistics management that adapts to the situation in China is studied. The functions in this system such as information integration, feedback, query and analysis help integrate the social logistics information resources and promote logistics services in China. This thesis mainly includes the following six parts.The first part is an introduction. It summarizes the research actualities in domestic and overseas on theories of logistics , logistics technique and logistics information system and so on. It introduces the background, purpose and significance of this thesis. The second part discusses the theories of logistics management, logistics information and logistics information system, which is the basis for the paper research. The third part describes the application of information techniques in modern logistics system. Information technique plays a strut role in modern logistics. Bar code, EDI, EOS, POS, RF, GPS and GIS are introduced.The forth part analyzes the development situation of logistics management. Four problems are discussed: development of logistics network, structure of logistics industry, situation of information-based logistics management and the problem of information isolated island.The fifth part makes comprehensively research on the structure of information center system for modern logistics management. Firstly, it defines the concept of information center system, analyzes functions of this system and demands of logistics information for different organizations, and describes the main functions of this system. Secondly, it discusses the designing principles of information center system, explains the network frame and introduces XML which can actualize information commutation in this system. Finally, some countermeasures on the construction of theinformation system are put forward.The sixth part is a conclusion of the study, and brings forward the direction of further research development in the future.
