The Implementation And Application Of Warehouse Management System For Third-party Logistics Companies

The plan on restructuring and revitalize logistics industry by the State Council proposes:"To accelerate the development of modern logistics industry, we should advance technology as support, make logistics integration and information into the main line, raise the level of logistics information as a major task, and make logistics public information platform engineering to enhance the level of the key project as a logistics information."These are fully illustrated that information technology lays importance in the logistics industry's role.Warehouse management is the core position in logistics management. Warehouse management system, as the corresponding warehouse management, also plays a key role and acts much importance in the third-party logistics information technology. The third-party logistics enterprise and company used by warehouse management system can reduce operating costs, improve efficiency of warehouse operations, improve service quality, and increase the enterprise's core competitiveness. In the logistics practice, to meet the needs of market competition, the third-party logistics companies always try to innovative their own warehouse management system. So, WMS system is nurtured for us in such an environment. WMS system, clearly characterized that it can meet the third-party logistics'demand of more comprehensive features, technical and function, such as combination with RF technology complementing each other, two kinds of optimization methods picking, replenishment capabilities, and flexible strategy for rationing and so on, can be for the domestic third-party logistics information management and practice of the operation of a more scientific and efficient service functions. Indeed, WMS system generated huge economic benefits. To third-party logistics role in practice, the writer deems that WMS system will provide a good example for the logistics management theory and play an important role in promoting the development of logistics in future.In the thesis, the writer first introduces the third-party logistics information system concept and characteristics of domestic third-party logistics information system development and application of the status quo. The thesis, then, introduces a success story of a China's third-party logistics enterprises implementation information technology, and elaborates on the A's company (a domestic third-party logistics pioneer) Logistics information systems planning, network architecture and so on. Subsequently, the thesis analyzes comprehensively EXE Technology Co., Ltd. warehouse management system, explores the characteristics of the third-party logistics, with more customers, large business volume, and providing customers with personalized service and etchant specifically discusses that the receipt, shipment and inventory management function module in the application of third-party logistics companies has the necessity and the specific value. Afterward, the thesis compares the A's company focus on the implementation of ILIS5 system and the WMS system which produced the different results and paths. At last, it is concluded that the improved warehouse management system combining the characteristics of third-party logistics, can completely be applied to third-party logistics companies. It not only can improve enormous efficiency and competitiveness in the third-party logistics companies, but also can for provide a very good case study for logistics management theory.
